Review:
Wow, was I surprised by this one. I had forgotten to bring a book to work, so I rushed into the bookstore to pick up something to read during my lunch, and I sort of grabbed this without thinking. I thought the authors name looked familiar.

It did not take me long to be captivated by this. What struck me first was the writing, which is rich and beautiful. The mystery is enticing and interesting. I really loved how fascinated I was by all these characters and how well-crafted they were. It just felt so realistic.

I don't have enough words in my vocabulary to describe this. I am, simply, blown away.

I would highly recommend this book to everyone. Go read it!
