Publisher's summary

The trees are watching....

Viola Winkle is addicted to romance novels. So much so, she rarely gives real men the time of day. Why should she, when characters such as Gatsby and Darcy are only a few pages away, waiting to sweep her off her feet? So when she receives an invitation to the premiere annual event in romance publishing, she's over the moon to attend. That is, until a freak storm, a troublesome pup, and a mysterious family of tree people turn her fancy evening out into the last night she'll spend in 1954.

In 2024, Ethan Mills is the award-winning author whose gothic romance trilogy has taken the world by storm. His life and career are right where he wants them to be–until they're not. The sudden death of his brother and sister-in-law leaves him devastated and ill-equipped to care for the daughter they've left behind. His sorrow drives him to the woods, where a dark curse awaits.

Can a young librarian from the 50s break the curse before it turns him into a beast? Or will he be doomed to destroy them all?

Wonderful story!

Stavs has done it again, dipping her toes in yet another new genre and creating a masterpiece!

R.I.P. Viola Winkle was one of those books you don’t want to put down. The pacing, the characters, the romance, everything was perfect!

Personally I’m not too familiar with the original Rip Van Winkle story but I didn’t need to be to enjoy this. There were also very heavy Beauty and the Beast influences which I loved!

The emotions and high stakes Stavs crafts in this book had me instantly hooked, even crying at certain points as Viola dealt with her situation and everything she had lost.

This is truly a wonderful read and an even better listen. I highly recommend it to anyone who is a fan of romance or fairytales!
