As someone who loved The Lady and the Highwayman, I went into this latest Sarah M. Eden book with sky-high expectations, and boy, did this book deliver! Full of chemistry, twists and turns, and scenes and arcs you'd never find in other historical romances right now, this book is bold, passionate, and hits all the right notes. Five stars! Highly recommended!

This is a fun and entertaining adventure to jump into. The characters are well written and the previously established setting for the Penny Dreadful Society proves a great backdrop. I liked the characters of Hollis and Ana and found them to be really cute together on their adventure.

The only thing I would say I wasn’t crazy about is balancing a total of 3 stories within the book. I found that I often just wanted to get back to the main story so having two others was sometimes frustrating. One story within a story seems to be a batter balance for this kind of book.

A very enjoyable read overall and I’ll be on the lookout for future works by this author!

Love, love, loved this book! Saran M. Eden has done it again!! I love that I get 3 intriguing stories in 1 with this series. It leaves me wanting to read the book so fast so that I know how each story ends and wanting to read slowly so that they never end! So good!!!

I loved the first book in this series and had seriously high hopes for this one. Sarah does a well crafted story and always writes a good series. In the first book you have the start of the Penny Dreadful society introduced. Hollis is a member and writes stories, but is a member of the Ton of London. Ana used to be a member of the Ton until her family was cheated out of everything. These two meet in the first story and this is their adventure. It was a fun read, like the first book this includes Hollis writing a story that you get every couple of chapters. It also includes a story by King. So you really have 3 stories going on. In the first book their was only the 2 and the 2 stories were well woven together. Sadly I didn't like that there were 3 stories, it was too much. The stories had to do with each other but only slightly went along with the original story line. It was all just a little too much. Overall I enjoyed it so much and really am looking forward to this whole series.
This is a mystery with no religion. It is a proper romance with a couple sweet kisses.
