This is a well-written historical fiction novel about one of my favorite time periods, the 18th century. The characters were memorable, and I intend upon reading more by the author.

Title: Unforgiven
Author: Lauren Kate
Read Dates: April 25th-26th 2019

I chose to read this book because it's by my favorite author and an add on to my favorite book series Fallen. I loved reading a book about Cam and his love interest and think Lauren Kate should make another book adding on to it. Such as their lifes after leaving Hell. I love how they got a happy ending and honestly cried a little. I 100% recommend this book.

"Steinbeck is my favorite author. I own first editions of this book, as well as everything on this list. East of Eden has some of the finest prose and also op-eds buried deep in this beautiful novel."

This is by far my most favorite book from this author. This definitely tested my limits in one part to where I had to take a break. Yolanda never disappoints when it comes to her sick and demented ways.

"Well, my favorite author is Mark Twain. He’s smart, and funny. Huckleberry Finn, especially the chapter all the purists hate, in which Tom Sawyer stages an elaborate rescue of Jim, is a writer having as much fun as possible."

While not my new favorite book like I was hoping, I definitely enjoyed most of it, it just took me a little longer to get into then I would have liked. Will definitely be checking out other books by this author.
  

"A favorite children's author of mine. There are a few particular passages that speak so clearly to me; the description of the stone farm house, the family life contained, the woman’s internal life and finding peace in nature. Balance and beauty."
