My Contrary Mary is the first book in an amazing historical fiction trilogy from authors that have taken has managed to take history (and your favorite novel) and flip it on it’s head. This novel tells the tale of Mary, Queen of Scots, during her time in France when she was engaged to marry Francis, heir to the throne of France. In this tale however, Mary is not only Queen of Scotland, but she’s also a shapeshifter, aka a part-time mouse, in a kingdom where being a shapeshifter is cause for death.

To say I loved this book is an understatement. My Contrary Mary is filled with hilarious and snarky commentary that only helps to make the reader more invested in the ever evolving plot. Each character is more entertaining than the last and you never quite know what turn the book will take next. I couldn’t put this book down and I have a feeling other readers will feel the same way.
