I could probably have stayed up all night to read this. It got to 2am before I realised and decided to go to sleep but couldn't stop thinking about what might end up happening in the story and should probably have just stayed up anyway. I was pretty hooked.

I figured out quite a few things before Mia did, just cause she wanted to keep everything separate. It was obvious to me that Adam knew more about her than she realised and it didn't take me long to piece things together. I loved Adam. Mia, I wanted to shake violently at times for being so pig headed.

I'm happy that they got a HFN, though I didn't realise their story continued in two other books when I started this. I would like to continue the series.

So I'm currently working through my backlog of Kindle books. Ones that have been on my Kindle for 6 or 7 years and this one was the latest.

2.5 stars

It started quite good and I was enjoying the relationship between Hunter and our girl but my interest started to waver a little after the middle when Hunter kept getting annoyed at being unable to tell her the truth for the thousandth time. I was growling at my Kindle, saying, what are you hiding?!
Admittedly, it did take me a little by surprise but not enough.

And then in relation to a certain boy. I figured it was you from about half way through, probably about the time my interest started to wander, with all your glaring and huffing and general moodiness. A bit too obvious.

A must read!

What a book! An amazing sequel to The Burning Chambers. The detail in the description is exactly what I have come to expect from Kate Mosse’s books and she did not disappoint with this one. I loved seeing Piet and Minou’s family grow. There was the same amount of suspense about whether and how things would work out for them all, and that suspense carried on right until the last chapter and even the last sentences. I cannot wait for the third instalment of this series and to find out more about what happens to they Reydon family and whether they can in fact live their lives in peace or whether trouble will always find them! A must read for anyone who is interested in historical fiction as it touches on some major events in history.
