If you love Jane Austen...

You will love Blood Rose Rebellion.

In the first installment of the new series, ROSALYN EVES captures everything I love about 19th century English Literature and creates this world that revolves around magic. Anna Arden is headstrong, brave, and yet vulnerable to everything that a teenage girl would be. She wants to love and be loved. But in her world, her lack of magic puts a mark of shame on her and she sets out to change the world. It was captivating, emotional, and if time had allowed I very well might have finished it all in one sitting. I was entranced by the journey of Anna and the forbidden romance that formed. I cannot wait to see what Eves has in store for the heroine. I received this book for review from blogging for books

Shakespeare updated

Being an avid lover of the bard of Avon, it was easy to see the similarities to The Merchant of Venice. Having read it certainly helped to understand. However, it was not quite the compelling read I was going for.
