I Must Betray You is a very sobering look at an often unrecognized part of history.
It is dark, disturbing, and unsettling, but it is also deeply moving.
This story is fiction, but Romania’s history is not.
I urge you to read this book. It will touch your soul, and remind you never to take anything for granted.
The characters in this story are deeply conflicted, and story builds with a sense that something terrifying is coming.
The middle drags a bit, but when it picks up, you will be unable to look away, but horrified that you want to know what happens next.
Content warnings: Death, mass murder, blood, gun violence, descriptions of injuries that some people may find disturbing, kissing (not graphic).
