The Rules of Rose Ivy Manor — Chapter 18

Whew, **Chapter 18** of **The Rules of Rose Ivy Manor** really has everyone spinning! 😵‍💫 Readers are calling this the chapter where the story "begins in earnest," and boy, is it ever confusing!

The biggest debate seems to be about the stepmom. Is she a classic evil stepmother or a total red herring? 🤔 Lots of you are leaning towards "red herring," maybe even thinking she's trying to protect our protagonist from something scarier! But let's be real, everyone in this manor is acting super sus, so it's hard to tell who to trust.

Speaking of trust, many readers are side-eyeing the "fiancé" the most, seeing him as potentially the real threat while others *might* be trying to help. Plus, the constant weirdness has everyone theorizing about some kind of evil magic, curse, or controlling force messing with people's minds in the manor. It's definitely not the typical romfan story our heroine thought! Get ready for more delicious chaos in **The Rules of Rose Ivy Manor**!
