When their sister Mercy sends word that the Duchess of Bloemwife of a celebrated botanistis interested in having Verity paint a portrait of her son, Alexander, Verity jumps at the chance, but Camille wont allow it. Forced to reveal the secret shes kept for years, Camille tells Verity the truth one day: Verity is still seeing ghosts, she just doesnt know it. Stunned, Verity flees Highmoor that night andwith nowhere else to turnmakes her way to Bloem. At first, she is captivated by the lush, luxurious landscape and is quickly drawn to charming, witty, and impossibly handsome Alexander Laurent. And soon, to her surprise, a romance . . . blossoms. But its not long before Verity is plagued with nightmares, and the darker side of Bloem begins to show through its sickly-sweet faade. . . .

I‘m glad I gave this a chance after having issues with the first book. It was really good. Sweet, smart, twisty.
Verity (the youngest of the Thaumas sisters) has been kept out of society by 1 of her older sisters. she finds out the reason: she can see ghosts. She flees after the revelation, taking a job painting a portrait for Alex, the son of a duke, but his family has their own secrets
Worldbuilding was much more straightforward, really fun.

It was pretty good for the most part but the ending was shocking. I liked the first book a bit more but this was still pretty good

I literally could•not•put•this•down!! I devoured a big chunk of this at work today 🤭 This was so different from the first book yet connected. This story was all about the youngest Thaumas sister Verity. It‘s set 12 years after the first book and I honestly loved it more than the first and the creep factor had me so captivated to see what was next! I will say with that ending…there better be another!!

Last official day of summer will be spent doing what I love! Sitting in the pool at our local water park reading my kindle while my kiddo and husband run around the park! I may have to get one last water ride in before the day ends 😏

Happy Labor Day Littens!!!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ read. I was totally drawn into this Gothic story. Romance and mystery and ghosts! I didn't want to put it down. This chunkster is going to fins a space on my keeper shelf. Highly recommend you add this to your fall reading list if you haven't already!

I just got this email from Barnes & Noble sharing this new book from Erin A. Craig. I see that Barnes & Noble has an Exclusive Edition of this book. I preordered my book from Books A Million and now, I wish I would have preordered my book from Barnes & Noble but if I did that then it wouldn‘t match the first book that I have. If I have books in a series, I want all of them to be the same editions.

I preordered the Hardcover edition of this book from Books A Million and it‘s so pretty. I really like the front of the book, the endpapers in the front and back of the book, the back of the book and what the book looks like without the dust jacket. I took off the dust jacket and the front of the book has a beautiful foil design. I like how this book was designed. The colors used work so well together.
