Andi is a woman raised by books. Mostly by gothic romances, by the sound of it. She gets a job cataloguing the library at Templewood house, and sees everything through the prism of the books she’s read.
But the house is spooky – there are phantom footsteps in the night and a ghost that walks around at night and a gardener who pops up at odd times. The people in the house are pretty strange too. There’s a the love lorn, but scary, Lady Tanith and her handsome son Hugo, a disagreeable housekeeper, and a slightly whiffy siamese cat called The Master.
This book was a lot of fun – there were many odd twists and turns. Andi is extremely naive, which is understandable because of the way she grew up. Hugo and Jay are both lovely, too.
I really enjoyed the story. It does have a happy ending.
