The second I started this book I knew it was going to be enjoyable...it was such a different type of historical romance that I just couldn't put it down and I loved every second of it.

Cecilia Bassingwaite isn't your typical Victorian lady. She is a member of the Wisteria Society crime sorority and alongside her aunt and other members, she steals and blackmails to obtain treasure...and a place within the Society. Ned Lightbourne is an assassin who is contracted to kill Cecilia but he has other plans...he also has some secrets that come to light throughout the book but I'm not going to tell you any of that because that makes the story even more interesting.

I loved the way Cecilia and Ned were with each other. There was plenty of banter and some swoony bits that made this about more than a group of women who fly around in houses and try to avoid the man/men who are out to kill them.

If you're looking for a story that will keep you turning the pages to see what happens next and what new, odd thing might occur, definitely consider picking this book up. It was highly entertaining and I'll definitely be looking forward to more from India Holton!

Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for the copy in exchange for an honest review.
