My rating: 💛💛💛💛
This was a strong debut for a new gothic author. I enjoyed this story and trying to find out what is going on and how everything will end.
I was totally captivated in the period and the relationship development between the main characters. And the underlying atmosphere that something dangerous is lurking behind the corner, made this mystery plot one which will keep readers up late at night.
I will read any new books published by this author, and if you enjoy Gothic Regency romance stories, you should read this book.
The audiobook is also very well done if you prefer that version.

About the book:
Will Seeking Justice Lead to Her Own Demise?
A Gothic-Style Regency Romance from a Promising Young Author
Second daughter of a baron—and a little on the mischievous side—Ella Pemberton is no governess. But the pretense is a necessity if she ever wishes to get inside of Wyckhorn Manor and attain the truth. Exposing the man who killed her sister is all that matters.
Lord Sedgewick knows there’s blood on his hands. Lies have been conceived, then more lies, but the price of truth would be too great. All he has left now is his son—and his hatred. Yet as the charming governess invades his home, his safe cocoon of bitterness begins to tear away.
Could Ella, despite the lingering questions of his guilt, fall in love with such a man? Or is she falling prey to him—just as her dead sister?
