To Love and to Perish

The charming yet mysterious town feels so alive — I wonder if the author based it on a real place or crafted it entirely from imagination.

I loved how the romance developed quietly amidst the mystery, but I’m curious if that’s a deliberate choice to keep the focus on the plot.

The lighthearted moments kept the tone cozy, but the stakes still felt real. Wondering if this mix was planned from the start or evolved during writing.
