TBR:

Pearl Bound by Natalie Bergman

In the waning days of the Gilded Age, Irish immigrant Eve Kelly accepts a coveted position at Greythorne, a mansion built on wealth, excess, and ruthless power. Behind its glittering façade, the Rennard family preys on the vulnerable—especially the women who serve them.

As Eve is drawn into the house’s seductive, dangerous orbit—and into a forbidden intimacy with the daughter of the family—she begins to uncover a legacy of violence hidden beneath chandeliers and silk.

But the house is not the only thing with a history.

Something ancient stirs in Eve’s blood—a power inherited from generations of women who survived by becoming something more than obedient. As predation tightens its grip, the servant they meant to consume becomes the reckoning they never saw coming.

Pearl Bound is a gothic historical horror novel steeped in female rage, class tension, queer desire, and the terrifying cost of autonomy.
