I loved this book so much I felt the characters had become my friends before I finished. That is how seamlessly beautiful this author paints her canvas. The rich details in her landscapes compliment the meticulous presentation of her characters. Ms. Christmas did a standout job setting the stage of an interesting time in London's history; the music scene, the fashions, the unstable political climate, the architecture. The read stayed at a high suspense level that made me fear for Elenore. I don't want to be a spoiler but I was shocked with the outcome of Elenore's love, Jake. His character was much too compeling for that to happen. But if it doesn't rain, the flowers won't grow...hence,the rain that came into Elenor's life bringing death and then life. As the book went on I could see the steel developing in Elenore but I kept waiting for something more to happen; a big climax. But then I remembered it was a series. Without keeping the reader wanting more questions answered, there would not be a series. Right? I was very pleased to have discovered a new author to follow. This read is worth every penny, does not disappoint and believe it or not, will leave you uplifted. This book was supplied to me for an honest review.
