Victorian Psycho by Virginia FeitoMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Last night I went through my Kobo Libra Colour and as soon as I spotted this book, I started reading.
Winifred Notty is a governess who goes to Ensor House to take care of two obnoxious children. Mr. Pounds loves her company, but Mrs. Pounds doesn't like her at all. But Winifred has a plan she needs to stick to. That doesn't mean she can't indulge her darkness...
OMFG.
This book is freaking insane! The story is wild. Totally wicked. And I loved every minute of it. It's also very addictive.
I struggled to put the book down because Winifred is so unhinged that I couldn't believe some of the stuff that happens. Not to mention the revelation that made me go: what? Of course!
😳
The writing style is very snappy and so are the chapter titles. I like how the ugly truth often hidden within the romanticised Victorian lifestyle was totally out there in this tale. And the location was perfect for the madness that goes on.
The pacing is also great, and those last few chapters were a whirlwind of violence that felt like a nasty surreal nightmare.
I enjoyed the hell out of this book and must now find out if this author has more books available.
