This book reminded me of how much I love Libba Bray's writing. She is so descriptive and has such beautiful prose in her stories!

Not to mention the mystery of the plot! This was a really fun read and one I would definitely read again. ...more

Not usually a historic fiction reader but I enjoy Libba Bray books so I gave this one a try. I thought it was really interesting and well written and the story was downright creepy.

Really enjoyed the reader (January LaVoy) but the book seemed overly long in my opinion. Might listen to the second one.
