She ain’t no divaaaaaa! I wanted to be pleasantly surprised that instead of the romance you think this is going to be. instead, it hinges on a female friendship. But seriously, I didn’t mesh well with the long-winded purple prose. Instalove is to be expected for fairytales, but I feel like the man (and Azure) were terribly codependent on this chick who made them feel special. Because I didn’t care for the characters, I wasn’t invested in the mystery. I’m guessing Azure falls romantically in love with Indigo at some point, Azure tries to body snatch Indigo’s life, or Indigo accidentally loses Azure and never forgives herself. Overall, I don’t have an interest in continuing this, but the story excelled with setting a luxurious, gothic tone. It really leans into the magical opulence of the supernatural. I also liked the cover. (  ) DestDest | Nov 26, 2023 |  ) decaturmamaof2 | Nov 22, 2023 | keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

"Once upon a time, a man who believed in fairy tales married a beautiful, mysterious woman named Indigo Maxwell-Casteñada. He was a scholar of myths. She was heiress to a fortune. They exchanged gifts and stories and believed they would live happily ever after--and in exchange for her love, Indigo extracted a promise: that her bridegroom would never pry into her past. But when Indigo learns that her estranged aunt is dying and the couple is forced to return to her childhood home, the House of Dreams, the bridegroom will soon find himself unable to resist. For within the crumbling manor's extravagant rooms and musty halls, there lurks the shadow of another girl: Azure, Indigo's dearest childhood friend who suddenly disappeared. As the house slowly reveals his wife's secrets, the bridegroom will be forced to choose between reality and fantasy, even if doing so threatens to destroy their marriage . . . or their lives."-- Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

The prose was so purple and flowery that I was choking on it.
And the romance???! Sooo bloody toxic -"do you fear me?" So much dishonesty and game playing.
