Synopsis: Myra Whitlock has a gift. One many would kill for. 

She’s an artist whose portraits alter people’s real-life bodies, a talent she must hide from those who would kidnap, blackmail, and worse in order to control it. Guarding that secret is the only way to keep her younger sister safe now that their parents are gone. 

But one frigid night, the governor’s wife discovers the truth and threatens to expose Myra if she does not complete a special portrait that would resurrect the governor's dead son. Desperate, Myra ventures to his legendary stone mansion. 

Once she arrives, however, it becomes clear the boy’s death was no accident. Someone dangerous lurks within these glittering halls. Someone harboring a disturbing obsession with portrait magic. 

Myra cannot do the painting until she knows what really happened, so she turns to the governor’s older son, a captivating redheaded poet. Together, they delve into the family’s most shadowed affairs, racing to uncover the truth before the secret Myra spent her life concealing makes her the killer’s next victim.
From Sing Me Forgotten author Jessica S. Olson comes a gothic fantasy murder mystery perfect for fans of Kerri Maniscalco and Erin A. Craig. (Synopsis from Goodreads)

  

My Thoughts: I was so excited for this one because I'd been hearing nothing but good things about it. The synopsis sold me as soon as I read it. I really enjoyed the story within the pages. I really loved the premise of it. I was flipping pages, ready to see what was going to happen next.

I really enjoyed this gothic tale. It was exactly what I was looking and hoping for.

I thought the special ability, the magic, Myra had was really interesting. I also really enjoyed the murder mystery bit.

I just enjoyed myself reading this one. I hope it has some kind of continuation.

 

Jessica S. Olson claims New Hampshire as her home, but has somehow found herself in Texas, where she spends most of her time singing praises to the inventor of the air conditioner. When she's not hiding from the heat, she's corralling her four wild―but adorable―children, dreaming up stories about kissing and murder and magic, and eating peanut butter by the spoonful straight from the jar.

Thanks so much for checking out my Blog Tour Stop for A Forgery of Roses by Jessica S. Olson. Thank you to Inkyard Press and Jessica S. Olson for letting me be a part of the tour! This is one I'd definitely grab if you see it. It was also March 2022 Owlcrate's Book Pick, which is pretty cool.
