literary gluttony

I’m not sure what I was expecting when I received a copy of Mortal Follies but I can say I was happily surprised by how much I enjoyed this story.

Told from the perspective of a hobgoblin, known as Robin, we follow Miss Mitchelmore as she navigates the trials and tribulations of the ton. However, Miss Mitchelmore has much more to deal with than the average young lady. She has been cursed. Doomed to have unlikely and almost traumatic happenings any day she is in society. But Miss Mitchelmore has no clue as to who or why she may be cursed. With the help of her cousin, Mr. Caesar, and her best friend, Miss Bickle, the trio sets out to get to the bottom of this mystery.

In the process, Miss Mitchelmore makes the acquaintance of the elusive Duke of Annadale. With a past all her own, the Duke has taken great interest in Miss Mitchelmore and her plight. Along the way, Miss Mitchelmore finds herself more and more intrigued with the Duke and the mysteries she provides.

Filled with humor and beautiful writing, I found it incredibly difficult to put this book down. Alexis Hall does a fantastic job of creating intricate characters and storylines that leave you wanting more!

Mortal Follies is set to be released June 6, 2023 by Random House Publishing.

I received this ARC from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
