Marrying Bluebeard

Fantasy & Fairy Tales

What secrets lurk in the forbidden tower?

Adelaide Brindamour is dreading the thought of a husband. That he'll neither understand nor appreciate her ability to communicate with ghosts goes without saying. When a mysterious, blue-bearded gentleman appears at Madame Gossard's summer house party, however, the thought of matrimony becomes a bit more tempting. But when a whirlwind love affair turns into a daring elopement, Adelaide may find herself in for a bit more mystery—and murder—than she was prepared for.

Bridgerton meets Bluebeard in this gothic twist on Grimm's bloody tale of the infamous, blue-bearded villain and his castle.

A gothicly fun take on this dark tale

Dark and spicy. This was a unique telling of the dark Bluebeard fairytale. Love the regency, Crimson Peak vibes. I really appreciated that we got Bluebeard’s perspective throughout the book. I think that really flushed out the story even more. And thank you for giving them a happy ending! A fun, spooky read with ghost cats and some other creepy bits.
