After this review, Betanda will be taking a break from reviewing until around the end of the year.

Kate was born under the devil moon, her destiny already set through a life of misery and heartache. Kate suffered an abusive childhood and struggled through life but found comfort in her paintings, which she clearly had a talent for. Her childhood struggles do not end in adulthood as Kate tries to make sense of her life. She attends dream therapy groups that give her guidance to pick a destiny she could never imagine.
Whilst I enjoyed the storyline, at times I found it told in a too matter-of-fact manner and with unnecessary description that took some of the pleasure away from the story for me. However, I enjoy a bit of supernatural mystery and found Victorian Songlight to be a pleasurable quick read with a supernatural love story threaded through out.
I would give Victorian Songlight 3 stars
I received an ARC for an honest review.
