Love story and chemistry between Andi and him was adorable.

Magnus was charming, entertaining, a little spoiled brat who needs to be slapped a few times but I loved his snarky comments and dark sense of humor. Her resilience, her survival instincts, her hunger for affection, intensity, friendship, her determination made me connect her. I honestly devoured this exciting, action packed, terrifying story which has promising, intriguing, tempting premise. Now she needs his help because if she accepts the defeat, this means Magnus will lose his life and she is not ready to let him go. The evil existence at the castle too powerful, too threatening, too vicious to destroy by 19 years old girl who is not licensed debtera and hasn’t finished her proper education because of the conflicts with her master which resulted with her departure. He is everything she normally detests: he’s pretentious, privileged, sarcastic, but his charms eventually affect her and confuse the hell of her mind.īut as soon as she agrees the terms and rules of staying at the castle where everyone lives in the premises disappear out of nowhere and dangerous manifestation lurking around the corridors, attacking each human being when the clock shows ten o’clock, she realizes she doesn’t have enough experience to defeat the hyenas.

Enigmatic, quirky, spoiled but also charismatic 21 years old Magnus picks her interest at the first sight. She needs a place to sleep and food to help her survive. 10 other debteras a.k.a exorcists like her took the same job and they died or they left the place without looking back before finishing their mission.Īndromeda has nothing to lose. She’s only 19 and she leaves her home, penniless, suffer from hunger, taking the suicide mission to cleanse household of Magnus Rochester from the Evil Eye. Story is taken place a terrifying mansion: but instead of its claustrophobic theme and the master of the name is Rochester and heroine is abandoned young woman who sharpened her survival skills to stay alive, living at the streets, there are not much common things with Jane’s story and poor Rochester’s haunted life because of his wife.Īndromeda is raised by her master Jember who never showed any sign of affection for nearly 14 years, treated her harshly to force her toughen up at the young age. I have to admit this is not Jane Eyre’s retelling: the only resemblances with the classic are claustrophobic mansion/ castle premise, names and resilient, young heroine. Horrific, claustrophobic, YA fantasy version of Jane Eyre meets Exorcist and Mummy series!What a tempting, astonishing, dreamy combination of extreme fans of horror and action packed fantasy premises like me!
