A Dark but Interesting read. The romance is the light. Hyacinth has been sent to look after some prized Orchids, she is an expert in her field. Lucas is the handsome caretaker, nephew of the housekeeper. The housekeeper's daughter has recently died and Hyacinth, finding doors and corridors closed to her wonders if the ghost of Rosa is haunting the house. The owner of the local garden supplies has a creepy assistant , James, that Hyacinth dislikes. There is historical tradegy in the story, which we learn more about from Lucas's sister Poppy. A good read perhaps an uncomfortable one but the romance is joyful.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Thank you to NetGalley & the publisher for this ARC in exchange for an honest review! The Orchids of Ashthorne Hall by Rebecca Anderson is one of those hauntingly good reads perfect for a cozy evening in. It's not too long, and I was able to finish it in one sitting. It happened to be a very foggy, eerie autumn day while I read it, which I found worked for the book. That probably gives a good sense of the vibes of this story! I also want to say I enjoyed Hyacinth and Lucas both as individual characters, as well as their romance! All around pretty well-written! If you're looking for your next read and you like historical romances with gothic and spooky elements, I think this would be a good choice!

spooky dark haunting beautiful story perfect for halloween about a woman who goes to a manor and she works with flowers and there is a weird caretaker lady who tells her she cant go to all the halls of the manor. she hears a ghost who obv. needs help, i couldnt stop reading this book i loved how dark an gloomy it was. and the man she falls for is hiding a secret too good to be true.

i loved the characters first name Hyacinth. and how she deeply cared for flowers because one of them reminded her of her mother.

Why did lucas pretend he didnt know what was troubling Hyacinth, there was a big mystery there. I loved the writing style and how ghostly the book was. ghostly historical romance is one of my favorite genre.

Thank you to netgalley for approving my request for this book it made my day. 5 stars!!
