Intriguing, dark, well crafted prequel. Gives you the sense that each detail earned its place in the novella and is there for a purpose that will show itself in the upcoming novel.

Goodreads review —BEFORE THE ROSES★ ★ ★ ★ ★
I loved this book! I finished this in a day and it kept me thinking for a long time afterwards.
The character portrayal is stunning; they are flawed, complicated and full of a tortured history. Watching them develop and unravelling the mystery of Thorne Hall kept me hooked the whole way through.
