I love books set in historic times, and I love books with stories that intertwine until a parallel is drawn between all the characters. I think this book sounds amazing - and entertaining - and I have to say that the cover is a bit haunting. I love how dark it is. This is a definite must-read for me! What are you waiting on this week?
Ooh, this one looks great!! I found this one awhile back but had forgotten about it! Thanks for reminding me!!

ReplyDeleteCool pick. The cover is oober creepy.
ReplyDeleteI'm also looking forward to reading this one. I love books set in historical times as well, so I can't wait for Folly's release.
ReplyDeleteThe only thing I would not like about this book is the the scondrel. It always upsets me when nice poor girls get mixed up with men like that. Still I guess that is where the conflict is. I will be interested to see how you like it so I will look for your review.
ReplyDeleteIm with Angel-that cover is very creepy...This one looks really good!!
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a good one. I am kind of mesmerized by the picture on the cover.
ReplyDeleteI'm waiting on YOUR book. Seriously.
ReplyDeleteYou're right, that cover is so dark! I like it though - it's eerie.
ReplyDeleteOoh this sounds amazing! I haven't heard of it before either. Great pick :D
ReplyDeleteThis cover is creepy, but I would never have thought about reading this book before having read the summary. It sounds great, though!
