I received this ARC through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review!

Ive posted a full review on Goodreads, I'm looking forward to reading more from this author

I'm sorry but I regret requesting this book. I wanted to give it a chance even though I'm not that enamoured of Masterton's writing and it just didn't work. As a horror writer, I don't enjoy his work but as a writer branching out into historical fiction, I like it even less. There was a coldness to the work that felt cruel and I feel the only positive to be taken away from Scarlet Widow is a fairly interesting main character.
