Mistress of Misfortune (Dredthorne Hall Book 1)

A Gothic Romance

By: Hazel Hunter

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Rumors swirl around Dredthorne Hall like snowflakes in a blizzard: the handsome war hero who lives there never sleeps; he never allows women to enter; worst of all, the Hall is haunted. But Meredith Starling will hear none of it. Instead she finds it enchanting. Though prone to accidents and mishaps, Meredith rides by the Hall at every opportunity. For her the rundown manor evokes a grander time. She looks past the broken gate and moss covered statues and sees the imposing facade’s elegant lines and graceful charm. In fact, she is determined to see inside. But Colonel Alistair Thorne rebuffs all callers without exception—and not for the sake of being a recluse. He avoids women because of his family curse. The master of Dredthorne is doomed to fall in love with a lady who spends a night at the Hall. Though love would be welcome, its consequences would not. All of the mistresses of Dredthorne have vanished, gone mad, or suddenly died.

A Brontë-Bridgerton Story

The voice is AI, but if it doesn’t bother you, the story was a nice escape into regency England. The characters were passionate and romantic.

Nothing

Dislike the visual audio , the tone was flat. No changes in the characters voice. Might have been better if an actual person was reading.

Annoying Voice

Story choppy. I had to keep going back because it took a right turn so often and I couldn’t figure out why. Bland book with unnecessary filth in the love sections.
