I was intrigued when I read the blurb, and as I dove into this story, with every turn of the page, the intrigue continued to grow. I was completely enthralled with each character and their individual stories. I couldn’t wait to find out how they all connected.
I liked the fact that this included characters of every nature. Some I connected with and my heart ached for them to find a measure of happiness, others were flat out evil even before the author shined a light on their actions, and then there were those that I found myself judging, wondering, and switching from one opinion to another as the story progressed. It all added to the overall feel and texture of this story.
There were several times I found myself heartbroken, near tears, and anxious and then with only a turn of the page I’d find myself ranting and raving. To say this pulled me into the story and kept me engaged doesn’t give the full effect this story had on me.
While it isn’t necessary to have any knowledge of the Moor murders this story is written around, this author pulls at that mystery enough to make you want more of it after you turn the last page.
Multi POV
Safe - not really a romance although there is a small bit that added some angst

Great review Carvanz, and what makes it even intriguing that it was based on true events

This story isn't based on those events, but runs parallel to them with a bit of cross over with the book characters and the true life persons involved. Hope that makes sense, just didn't want you to think this is like a rewrite/remake of the Moor murders.
Oh.. thanks for explaining. I assumed it was a remake bbased on those events.
