Felicity, I agree the cover is a little misleading, but the book is really good historical fiction nevertheless. i hope you enjoy it!

I have this book on the holds list at the library. I am the first in line, and can’t wait to read it! I love the cover, though I probably would have assumed it was fantasy if I hadn’t read the description first.

I’m excited to pick this book up (and maybe some others of Marthe Jocelyn’s works). I have never heard of this author and your review makes me excited to dive into her works and see if I like her as much as your review suggests I will.

I am so glad that this is getting some attention. I really think it stands out above the usual teen fare. I am going to go back and read her back list! The cover struck me as odd at first, then after I read the book I thought it was perfect! I hope that it gets people to pick it up off the shelf and give it a look, then a read, then a discussion…

I have had this book on my wishlist for a while but yours is the first review I have read of it. I think I can guess what the connection between the characters is but I am interested in seeing how it turns out in the book.

Glad you like it, Elf! I wish more people seemed to know about Marthe, her stuff is really high quality.

I am SUCH a Marthe Jocelyn fan and I completely agree with you that she deserves to be brought out from her “under the radar” status. I can’t wait to read this latest. What a creepifying cover! Thanks for the review Jen!
