Disclaimer: I received a free copy of this ebook for review purposes. Opinions are 100% my own.I have to admit. This book was a slow starter for me. But, as I got further into the story I found it harder and harder to put down. The closer Ineke's real life came to colliding with her alter ego's life as the Angel, the more pulled into the story I became. It is a line that many women face, even today. Where does one's role as mother end and other aspects of one's self as an individual begin? How does one keep their life as a mother separate from one's career? I was intrigued by the fact that the story was set during Prohibition, too, and that Ineke's background was as a spy (in a time when women's societal value was tied to them being married homemakers raising children rather than working outside the home). I love that Ineke's character seemed to fly in the face of convention in so many ways. I was not ready for the story to end, for sure. And I am very much hoping for another novel in the future! Hint, hint!
