Holy Hell in a Handbasket, what did I just read?????? Winifred Notty puts the psycho in Victorian Psycho! Seriously, this book is off the hook and brimming with deviousness, gore, and blood! Not for the faint of heart, this book delivers on humor, gore, bleakness, snarky thoughts, cruel actions, and clever dialogue. 🥰🔪📕
Winifred Notty has been hired to a governess to Drusilla and Andrew, the children of the Pounds family. She is a peculiar woman who has certain impulses and engages in questionable behavior. Humor is not lost on her nor is sarcasm. She has dark thoughts and a secret she has been harboring.
I loved the Victorian setting and the eerie happenings in Ensor House. This book was dripping with atmosphere, humor, creepiness, dread, and blood! Readers know from the very beginning that they are in for a dark, gothic, grotesque ride. I enjoyed how the author gave us glimpses into Winifred’s childhood and life. It adds to the dark tone and mood of the book. It shows the level of depravity and wicked thoughts she has. 😮😬
This was a wild ride and enjoyed every second of it. What an addictive, imaginative, well written, and well thought out novella! This was my first book by Virginia Feito, and I can’t wait to get my hands and eyes on what else she has written!
Whew! What a bloody good book! 🥰🔪📕
