Title: The Witchwood Knot

Series: Victorian Faerie Tales #1

Author: Olivia Atwater

The faeries of Witchwood Manor have stolen its young lord. His governess intends to steal him back.

Victorian governess Winifred Hall knows a con when she sees one. When her bratty young charge transforms overnight into a perfectly behaved block of wood, she soon realises that the real boy has been abducted by the Fair Folk. Unfortunately, the lord of Witchwood Manor is the only man in England who doesn’t believe in faeries—which leaves Winnie in the unenviable position of rescuing the young lord-to-be all by herself.

Witchwood Manor is bigger than its inhabitants realise, however, and full of otherworldly dangers. As Winnie delves deeper into the other side of the house, she enlists the aid of its dark and dubious faerie butler, Mr Quincy, who hides several awful secrets behind his charming smile. Winnie hopes to make her way to the centre of the Witchwood Knot through wit and cleverness… but when all of her usual tricks fail, who will she dare to trust?

Absolute banger!

When Winifred Hall arrives at Witchwood Manor for her job as governess, she meets the butler, Mr Quincy. But both of them are hiding something as are others in the Manor!

Winnie is there to protect the Dowager’s Grandson from the malevolent spirits but there’s much more going on!

A gothicy, fantasy/horror lite story with an enemies to lovers plot, total spooky vibes, a very cute romance AND a fiesty undead cat. What more could you want?

I adored Winnie!  She is unflappable, so strong, so matter of fact, a liar and so very determined. Oh and also utterly hilarious without even trying. ‘Oh dear. It seems a faerie has just stolen all of my unmentionables.’

This was a fantastic read and I need more! I’m off to stalk the authors socials to see if there are any hints of a next book!
