Review:
Oh, so good! I didn’t want to stop reading to get sleep before I had to do another long workday but alas I did and finished on the way in to work later.
While this was a split timeline, it was done so well. I never wondering what was going on like so many other split timeline stories I have read that confuse you with abruptly changing scenes without any warning, leaving the reader confused until they realize the switch.
Very well written and thought out. I enjoyed this story immensely. The characters were enjoyable while not always “proper”. The mystery element was captivating.
I would recommend this to those who like a story of finding some history that brings up a past time, historical fiction, and stories of women betrayed and vengeful.
