Griep is one author I will always jump to read!

I was a little surprised by the fact this was a book about an opera singer. A different subject to be sure, yet it was done in a way that I was still gripped by the plotline.

I love the era of the setting, the descriptions were absorbing, and the characters ... Ooh, the characters, there is such an array points of view. I like how Griep isn't shy to show different characters from what some authors show in the Victorian setting.

Maggie Lee (A name that makes me think mob for some reason... *shrugs*), is not your usual heroine. Sure, she may have been in hiding much like some heroines but she is unique to the story, her story, and it is new to me. I'm not sure I've read a book featuring an opera star, I know very little of the art. Learning a bit about it was engrossing!

(*face desk* I had to look up character names. I read this book twenty books ago so that's all right, right? I mean no offense to the author since this book is spell bounding!)

Oliver was a hero I wasn't sure I would like, only from the blurb though. I mean once I started reading I couldn't help with like him. He was quite the hero!

Another character who I shall not name was an unexpected character it was an eerie to have his point of view.

The plot thickened as I rounded the fiftieth percent of the book and I loved it! As it ended I was sad that this book was not a part of a series.

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book which I received from the author. All views expressed are only my honest opinion.
