I went into this with high expectations since book one in this series was a favorite for me, and I’m glad to say that it did not disappoint. I loved the characters just as much and I enjoyed the Paris setting and all the places the characters visits. The murder in this one was interesting to and I actually didn’t guess the murderer until close to the end which is unusual for me! I also loved learning more about insightfulls and I find the way these abilities work to be fascinating. Overall I think this was a well written book and it has placed this series as an official favorite for me!

This book was received as an ARC from Macmillan-Tor/Forge - Tor Teen in exchange for an honest review. Opinions and thoughts expressed in this review are completely my own.

At first I did not know what to expect with this book. I didn't know if it was going to be a fantasy novel, or a historical novel but when I read this book, it was a combination of both with a twisted plot that left me almost confused rather than excited which got me a little worried. Then as I read on, I started to see the direction Jodi Lynn Zdrok took with this novel and started to get into it. In the beginning it was difficult to understand and I know for our teen readers and our book club that is an issue. The middle and the end I did enjoy but the first few pages I know some of our patrons will not finish.

Because of this, we give this book 3 stars.
