Editorial Reviews

“A beautiful, crumbling mansion in the English countryside; a charming but enigmatic viscount; ghosts; rumors; and a labyrinth of dark secrets, lies, twists, and well-executed turns…As if that wasn’t enough, add rich atmosphere and an American-heiress heroine determined to settle her own future. Kennedy has crafted a delicious, romantic gothic mystery that will keep readers guessing even as they’re feverishly turning the final pages. —Megan Chance, author of A Splendid Ruin
I was riveted by Paulette Kennedy’s Parting the Veil, a dazzling debut that hearkens to the best of the classic gothic tradition but with a sensibility that will appeal to modern readers.

And don’t forget the Earl Grey and biscuits. —Barbara Davis, bestselling author of The Last of the Moon Girls
An American heiress with a scandalous past meets a mysterious British lord in this swoon-worthy gothic thriller. Parting the Veil takes familiar plot elements—a ruined mansion, family secrets—and gives them a sexy, modern twist. This stunning debut from Paulette Kennedy kept me guessing until the very end! —Elizabeth Blackwell, author of Red Mistress and On a Cold Dark Sea
Parting the Veil is a gothic romance full of sly and sometimes shocking twists and turns, with the requisite crumbling manor house, loads of secrets, and long, haunting shadows of grief.

A headstrong American heiress with her decidedly non-British ways finds herself in England, in love, in trouble, and possibly being haunted. A lush, gothic tale that will keep readers flipping the pages. —Lydia Kang, bestselling author of A Beautiful Poison
A darkly romantic old school gothic novel with a gasp-inducing twist that’s decidedly new school. In this lushly detailed page-turner, Paulette Kennedy piles on all the haunted house tropes you could hope for, and then some. Read this one with the lights on. —Kris Waldherr, author of The Lost History of Dreams
