I am neither an e-book person nor a historical fiction person, and yet Ava Reid has enthralled me once again. 

Seeing all of the characters slowly being broken down over the course of this book was captivating, and I cannot express how happy I was to see the Lady Macbeth get her well-deserved revenge. She really grew as a character, both internally, with what we saw, and externally, with what she allowed other characters to see of herself. 

You can really tell how well-researched this whole thing was, and I was honestly fully transported back to this time for the two endless days that I couldn’t put this down for. 

I have not read Macbeth, but out of my new-found love towards this book, I will.
