This was so cute! ❤️🥰 When I read romance, This was so cute! ❤️🥰
When I read romance, I am mainly looking for some mindless fun, basically a palate cleanser from my normal, darker, dramatic reads. And I love a good enemies to lovers trope. 
The plot could be a bit ridiculous and predictable and the characters didn’t have too much depth.. but darn if I didn’t have fun reading this!! I laughed and cringed and flew through this book in a day. If you’re looking for a fun little lighthearted rom-com I thought this was a good one!

Aesthetic for Nocturne by @alyssa_wees ! I just fi Aesthetic for Nocturne by @alyssa_wees !
I just finished this book and absolutely loved it ❤️ Set in Chicago in the 1930s, Grace is an orphan who has been promoted to prima ballerina of the Near North Ballet. Her performance was sponsored by a mysterious patron, Master La Rosa who also orchestrated her ascent to prima, with a price…she must come to live with him and dance with him at midnight every Sunday.  When she does, she finds the mansion is cloaked in mystery and full of otherworldly secrets, and she is caught between illusion and reality. 
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The prose was beautiful, and this made for a lovely, haunting, lyrical gothic fantasy inspired by Hades and Persephone, Beauty and the Beast, and Phantom of the Opera. I loved the dark, dreamlike quality of the writing, and was enchanted by the story and the characters.  I’ll be running to pick up her other books!
✨Nocturne is set to be published on February  21st, and I definitely recommend it for fans of dark fantasy!
💓 thanks to @netgalley and @randomhouse  @delreybooks for this eARC in exchange for honest review!
