I loved the prologue and the 14th century timeline, and I almost wish that we could have had more of this POV throughout the story. One of the highlights for me was without doubt the Yorkshire setting. And while there were things that didn’t work as well as expected for me, as a whole it turned out to be a solid read. I’ve enjoyed her work in the past, and there was just something about the blurb, the Blackwood abbey and its secrets that made this story sound irresistible. This is probably why it is easy to understand how The Last Heir To Blackwood Library ended up on my shelves, because this newest story by Hester Fox offers both. I love a good gothic historical story, and add a bookish element and there is no way I’m going to be able to resist reading it. *** A copy of this book was kindly provided to me by Netgalley and Graydon House in exchange for an honest review. “If there’s one thing the war taught me, it’s that we can try to forget and push away memories all we want, but we are still the same, damaged people.” Title: The Last Heir To Blackwood Library
