Gothic Romance is, shall we say, not usually my thing. But Gothic Romance written by Sarah Rees Brennan, inspired by Miss Marple and Veronica Mars, and incorporating delightful one-liners and excellent world-building (not to mention some word play that paid off brilliantly)? That I can definitely go for! So when the Unspoken ARCs went out, I begged volunteered for one, and read it almost as soon as it arrived.

And then I forgot to review it on my lj (though I did blog about it, and SRB put it on her tumblr, and it's my most viewed blog of all time, so I don't think I missed the boat or anything). And now it's out and available, so I am putting the review on livejournal.

( Doesn’t the name Lynburn just send shivers up your spine? I LOVE IT. )

9/10 for being hilarious and awesome, for giving me some amazing characters, for having a cover that is gorgeous, and for the ending, even if I don't react to it the way everyone else seems to.
