A.G. Slatter's The Path of Thorns
I like Slatter's work a lot, but put off reading this one because I saw it described as horror, which is not my jam. But it’s not really horror, it’s more in the gothic/creepy fairy tale vibe—not scary, per se. Anyway, it’s about a young woman who comes to a manor to be the children's new governess, but she's really there for more complicated reasons. I enjoyed this a lot, especially all the story-telling, but I wished the end was a little bit tighter, or maybe I just wasn’t fully satisfied with how things wrapped up? A-/B+.
