Thanks to Second Sky for the gifted ebook to write my honest review.
You don’t need to run, my beloved. Not anymore. It’s time to come home to Ireland. To Wildewood…
Returning to the village of Kilfayne after all these years, scientist Alex still refuses to believe local folklore that her family is cursed. Even with all the mysterious deaths of her relatives at their ancestral manor, Wildewood. Now her twin brother has joined them. As the last de Wilde, all she wants is to finally sell the old place and move on.
But Nick, the brooding, dangerously hot groundskeeper and her brother’s best friend, seems determined to stand in her way. He was a suspect in her brother’s death. And Alex can find no records of Nick before he came to the isolated estate 15 years ago…
When Alex nearly falls to her death restlessly pacing the shadowy halls in the dead of night, it’s Nick who saves her life. But this near-death experience isn’t the last. Increasingly strange and potentially fatal accidents mount – each with striking similarity to those that claimed her relatives.
Alex is forced to dig into her family’s wretched past, with Nick’s help. But are they ready to face just how dark the heart of Wildewood truly is?
This absolutely gripping and unputdownable page-turner will keep you totally addicted and send delicious shivers down your spine! Perfect for fans of Grimstone and Karina Halle.

What have I just read? Wildewood is such a fantastic read! I couldn’t tear myself away from the first page!
A gothic fantasy romance with a dash of the supernatural that is so skilfully interwoven. I was transported to Ireland with Alex as she returns to her family’s estate. Even Wildewood itself is so richly described it feels like it is almost a character in its own right.
The blending of folklore, myths , and mystery together with the tensions between Alex and Nick, the groundsman, couldn’t have been better! As the plot unfolded, I was more and more intrigued. I couldn’t decide what was real or not. This just added to the suspense with the dark undertones that I couldn’t get enough of.
I was so invested in Alex and Nick that I didn’t want to get to the end. I felt I knew Alex, with her skeptical views. It was nice to see her development as the pages flew by! Great characters that kept me glued to the book. I am looking forward to Jessica Thorne’s next book so much!!
