Fans of magical retellings will delight in Jane’s newfound powers in this blend of witchy gothic romance and supernatural cozy mystery. Share with listeners who enjoyed the similar setting and mystery in B.R. Myers’s A Dreadful Splendor.

A pleasant, atmospheric romp that fantasy or romance fans will enjoy. There’s no need to be familiar with Brontë’s novel to enjoy this one.

The romance between Ross and Tess is given prominence in the plot but doesn't have enough substance to hold the weight asked of it, and the addition of another love interest when Jake falls for Tess doesn't help, creating melodrama but not real tension. The sf elements are also light and breezy, without any actual science to weigh them down. Three-time RWA Golden Heart finalist Fisher is also the author of Ghost Planet and The Ophelia Prophecy.
