The first novel in a witty, irreverent, hugely entertaining new series with an irresistible premise—Romeo and Juliet’s daughter as a clever, inquisitive, fiercely independent young woman in fair Verona—told from the delightfully engaging point of view of the captivating Rosie Montague herself …
Once upon a time a young couple met and fell in love. You probably know that story, and how it ended (hint: badly). Only here’s the thing: That’s not how it ended at all.
Romeo and Juliet are alive and well and the parents of seven kids. I’m the oldest, with the emphasis on ‘old’—a certified spinster at twenty, and happy to stay that way. It’s not easy to keep your taste for romance with parents like mine. Picture it—constant monologues, passionate declarations, fighting, making up, making out … it’s exhausting.
Each time they’ve presented me with a betrothal, I’ve set out to find the groom-to-be a more suitable bride. After all, someone sensible needs to stay home and manage this household. But their latest match, Duke Stephano, isn’t so easy to palm off on anyone else. The debaucher has had three previous wives—all of whom met unfortunate ends. Conscience forbids me from consigning another woman to that fate. As it turns out, I don’t have to …
At our betrothal ball—where, quite by accident, I meet a beautiful young man who makes me wonder if perhaps there is something to love at first sight—I stumble upon Duke Stephano with a dagger in his chest. But who killed him? His late wives’ families, his relatives, his mistress, his servants—half of Verona had motive. And when everyone around the Duke begins dying, disappearing, or descending into madness, I know I must uncover the killer … before death lies on me like an untimely frost.

Rosie is the oldest daughter of Romeo and Juliet. I love how she tells the tale of her parent’s courtship and her family. She has many siblings but talk of her parent’s love and appreciation for each other.
Nurse also stood out as a character that was a protector but added humor too. I loved that. This book is written with modern and renaissance language and I thought that was so fun.
Rosie is forced into an engagement with a tyrant, whose wives keep dying. At the betrothal ball, he’s found dead, and Rosie has her own love at first sight moment. Her realizations of this were very funny and well done, as she recognizes her parents past. Enter Prince Escalus who has motives of his own.
Susie Jackson’s narration does a fantastic job with the characters. I enjoyed so much how she brought Rosie to life, adding so much to this already enjoyable and fun story. I loved how Jackson portrayed each character, especially Rosie’s parents and younger siblings.
This book has excellent twists and peril, mixed with humor and a spunky FMC. I enjoyed the cozy mystery feel, as bodies keep dropping and tension gets higher and higher. I am excited to start the next book!
Highly enjoyable listen!
