*I’m always a fan of historical fiction with dual time lines, especially when it’s a past and present timeline. I was hooked right from the beginning, the author really set the tone and atmosphere perfectly and I could feel the desperation and yearning for answers throughout. Which I absolutely loved of course! This story had SO much to offer and the potential to be perfect, it really was so close. I think what threw me off is that at one point I just really started to dislike all the characters and I’m a very character based reader. I did really enjoy it though, it kept me guessing the whole way through, I just wish the characters hadn’t soured me so much by the end. The ending was absolutely phenomenal as well, I truly didn’t see it coming and it surprised the heck out of me!
