I enjoyed this one a lot! It was well written and well researched, had a compelling story and a tidy happy ending. All the makings of a good quarantine read. My slight quibble is that I didn’t enjoy the storyline about Nina when she was flying with the Nachthexen as much as I did the tense hunt taking place in Boston, so I found myself skimming to get back to the heart of the story. But still gave it 5-stars!

In the years after World War 2 in Europe, Nazi hunters search for a vicious foe known as The Huntress. In America, an imaginative teen has wild theories about her new suspicious step mother.

I love the way Kate Quinn takes pieces of history and spins them into engaging and digestible stories of struggle and bravery. All the characters have great depth and work well together to form a fascinating and compelling story.

It did take me a few chapters to get my bearings with the various characters and timelines, and I thought it felt a bit long in parts. This may not be my favorite of Kate Quinn's books, but it is still most definitely a worthwhile read for fans of historical fiction in the WW2 era!

Audio isn't really working for me. And library doesn't have a Kindle compatible ebook. Will definitely continue this at some point - just need to get ahold of a physical copy I guess!
