Parting the Veil is a shocking debut that was published last November 1 and I encourage you to grab one ASAP!
TW: There's a mention of self harm, murder, incest, miscarriage and death.
Parting the Veil is such an amazing suspenseful and gripping romance that I absolutely need in my life right now. I just finished it and im still not sure what to say cause its mind blowing.
Its a gripping novel that absolutely got me obsessed since chapter 1. The author definitely did a FANTASTIC job to weave this hauntingly beautiful story. It have the vibes of Bridgerton, Rebecca and Crimson Peak. Its a perfect read for fans of any of those 3 I've mentioned. The vibes and the writing style of the book really throws you into the Victorian era, wishing you were a part of the society, wishing you were a part of the book. Its safe to say that I literally devoured the book, i cant remember the time I have put it down cause every page gives me more and more questions and it keeps piling up that all I wanna do is read it to find the answers but at the same time dreading for its end cause it's hauntingly good.
"And are you a gancanagh, my love?" Eliza arched her back as his hands roved over her.
"Perhaps I am. And if so, you should be very frightened.
"Why?"
"Because I'm about to ravage you into ruin."
Did I mentioned that the romance is really good? It was one of the few things that really got me all hooked up in this book!
I love the characters in this book. We have Eliza, a strong and independent woman from New Orleans who came to England to inherit a manor from her deceased aunt. She came to England wishing to start a new life and escape the scandals and the pressure of the society to women of her age about marriage. Only she fell in love with Malcolm (yet another amazing, well thought, well written character that made my head go crazy with his mysteriousness) her very mysterious Lord of Havenwood neighbor and the constant topic of gossips and scandals. We also have Lydia, Eliza's loving half sister which I adore so much! Their relationship is one of the few things I truly love in this book. The sisterly love, the protectiveness to each other! Its amazing and beautiful.
There's also the plot twists that literally threw me off! Parting the veil is one of the few books where I cant really figure out what is going on! Most of the time I can feel my mind going round and round with possible answers and theories but after nearing the end I have come to realize that only part of my theories were right. Which means that this book is unpredictably (if that's even a word) amazing!
Its a perfect read for Halloween and I highly recommend it! I rated it 5 stars!
