About the book

A hauntingly romantic paranormal Jane Eyre reimagining, by the author of Phantom Heart!

Eighteen-year-old Jane Reye is a psychic artist. She draws what she sees, and what she sees are spirits and the supernatural. Growing up orphaned, she’s now of legal age and can no longer return to the girls' school she’s called home for most of her life. Lost and alone after the death of her lifelong friend, she receives an invitation to partake in a study at the English manor Fairfax Hall: an investigation of the property that requires her specific area of expertise. Upon arrival, Jane understands this will be no ordinary study when she meets Elias Thornfield, the elusive proprietor of the estate, a boy her age, roguishly handsome, who dons a mysterious eye patch. During the study it becomes clear that something is amiss—something having to do with Elias and the spiritual activity taking place around the manor. Turning to her art to unravel the mystery, Jane is shocked to find that her talents—and her growing affection for Elias—could be the key to saving him from a horrible fate.

    This book had no right to leave me sobbing on a Friday at 1am. While I had major issues with some of the on the nose language choices and jokes in this book, for it simply broke me out of the immersion at times, the story immediately redeemed those points. This book turned out to be heartbreak. I spent the last 40 pages straight up bawling my eyes out about something that was built up to be inevitable over the entire course of the book. But in that moment, it just hit so deeply that I can only applaud the author for that. Yet, the language problems and the fact that I would've loved to get to know the characters better, since they seemed a little surface level sometimes, has me retracting a star. Nonetheless, if you need a good old tragic lovestory and some hellish-spooky vibes reminiscent of Crimson Peak, you should give this one a go!
