Finished "A Curious Affair" by Melanie Jackson. I reviewed it at Amazon. I struggled whether this was a 3 or 4 star...I don't like Gothic much--too much atmosphere and not enough...other, but I thought it unfair to knock it down because Gothic isn't my favorite (which means I don't read it often so don't have tons of comparisons to make.) The thing is, the book is slotted as paranormal romance--which I thought was COMPLETELY incorrect. Yes there is a paranormal element. Yes there was romance. But the book was noir, yet it's being marketed as fluffier romance. Gothic mystery with many noir elements ain't that.
