The beginning is really good, with Bridie and her family finding out her father was a famous thief. It is all very exciting for the reader, although for poor Bridie is a real pain, to realize they are broke, her fiancee breaking the engagement due his reputation and having to take care of a invalid ...

My least favorite among MB books. The Victorian period is well portrayed -far from the romantic notion we get in other books. Hannah is such a strong character, she went thru so many things -things that may have led another woman to suicide, but she values her life so much. All men in this book -exc...

I was so sure I have never read this book, although many scenes were familiar. Turns out, I have the paper book, only the title in Spanish is completely different: "The Black Bracelet". And the original title in my book says "Kirkby's Changeling".Good book, as expected. A Circus, a brave MC, hidden ...

Trust Madeleine Brent to have the reader hook at the first line. It has all the elements of a Gothic I love to read (and the kind that is so hard to find nowadays). A young, brave English girl, who seems to be alone in the world and goes to live in a Manor and whose life is constantly in danger, mos...

I purchased this book with the cover where Emma/Casey and Daniel are on the ship, mainly because I don't like books where the covers are deceitful. The other cover is pretty much like a Harlequin romance, which is far from it. What I like about this Gothic books (written by MB, VH..) is that the plo...
