Loved this book! Was the perfect gothic romance/mystery.
I loved all the characters from the beginning, especially death and his sassiness. I really liked their romance and how the relationship grew. Ballroom scene was the best hands down!
Sigma was such a relatable character even in the time period. On that note this book is like a darker gothic Bridgerton which I really loved.
The mystery of who was poisoning Blythe and who killed Lillian was engaging and never dragged on.
The story did go slightly predictable with Sigma thinking it was Byron and the ladies maid. I liked the twist but felt bad for the family if they were to find out it was Percy. Blythe being the worst as she was closest to him.
As well as Sylas was Death in human form, the window being the biggest clue. I never bought into the love triangle between them.
