Now this is a charming and romantic story! A thief and a gentleman, what more could a girl ask for? Our two protagonists are Ana and Hollis, and the story is told from their alternating views along with the penny dreadfuls that Hollis writes. You are essentially getting three stories in one! Ana is a music teacher who doubles as a thief, reclaiming items that were stolen from her family when they fell from fortune. Hollis is a spy for the Penny Dreadful society trying to find who the thief who has been stealing items is. I found this to be a charming and easy read. Romantic and sweet while also adding elements of gothic stories and adventures. If I’m being honest, I prefer this one to the first book. I really liked the development in the relationship between the two protagonists and the reasoning behind their motivations. The story was fun and I would recommend this for anyone who enjoys a good romantic novel.
