Books on my to-read list: The Shadow in the Glass by JJA Harwood

I can't remember the last time i have read a gothic story and this one has a rather wonderful Victorian background. I am really looking forward to reading this book as it has some really great reviews on Amazon and Goodreads.

I will of course, be back with my review as soon as I have read it.


Once upon a time Ella had wished for more than her life as a lowly maid.

Now forced to work hard under the unforgiving, lecherous gaze of the man she once called stepfather, Ella’s only refuge is in the books she reads by candlelight, secreted away in the library she isn’t permitted to enter.

One night, among her beloved books of far-off lands, Ella’s wishes are answered. At the stroke of midnight, a fairy godmother makes her an offer that will change her life: seven wishes, hers to make as she pleases. But each wish comes at a price and Ella must decide whether it’s one she’s willing to pay…

 The Shadow in the Glass is available to buy on Amazon.

When not writing, she can be found learning languages, cooking with more enthusiasm than skill, wandering off into clearly haunted houses and making friends with stray cats. THE SHADOW IN THE GLASS is her debut novel.
