DARKER STILL by Leanne Renee Hieber

Darker Still (Magic Most Foul, #1)Darker Still by Leanna Renee Hieber

My rating: 2 of 5 stars

With an homage to Dorian Gray, the author has drawn a mystical element to the story with the romance and pinnings of a young girl of the time. I liked Natalie and how she persevered through her misfortune. I can only say that, for me, the story just missed something that could have potentially made it special. I wasn't afraid enough for Natalie or Jonathan, Mrs. Northe was too mild, yet Maggie was sufficiently snarky and snobby enough. There wasn't enough anticipation and I knew where every step would lead.

I have to say that I don't like giving less than favorable reviews, but in this case I had to say something. It just wasn't great.
