Review: Spellbinding dark fantasy

Despite the dark nature of this story, the characters drew me right in, and I couldn't put it down. This alternative history, set during World War II, incorporates reality in such a way as to make this version feel quite plausible. And that very plausibility is part of what makes it such a compelling read.In addition, the characters in this story are an absolute work of art. We learn enough about each character to understand them and care about them, yet each of these complex characters retain enough mystery about them to allow them to still surprise us and to keep the suspense level sufficiently taut to draw us onward.This is one of those books that weaves such a spell that it will stick with you long after the last page!I received a complimentary copy of this book in order to review it.
