“Just promise me you won’t go to the chapel ruins.”
.
Here we follow Poe, a librarian who accepts a job at her friends manor - Thornchapel. But this isn’t just any job, this is the place that Poe visited with her parents and friends twelve years ago. And they are all back under one roof.
.
So it seemed to me that this Thornchapel manor has some spiritual powers, in short terms. It somehow has all six of the then children back at the same time as adults. The thing is, most of them don’t know each other in adulthood. All of them are there for jobs or by association.
.
Poe on the other hand is also there to find out what happened to her mother who disappeared after her last summer there. Especially intrigued when she received a letter in her mothers handwriting. Against her fathers wishes, she returns to find some truth. Unbeknownst to her she also falls in love or you might just say lust!
.
Plenty of secrets, a ritual, kink, bi- representation, and Poe that has narcolepsy. I found this interesting, even outside of the kinky scenes. Though I most say, Ms. Simone knows how to pull you in because this got real HOT at the end. And of course it’s a series so the story isn’t complete. But this was definitely a great start.
