The Book of Blood and Shadow by Robin Wasserman
3.0
This book was NOT what I was expecting! Just from the title I was expecting either a paranormal or something similar. Instead, it was a current, mundane setting with a bit of historical context thrown in.
Nora has been translating letters from Latin to English. During the translation she discovers something that is supposed to lead people to God. But, she was not supposed to discover it. So now her friends are being killed, she is searching for answers in Prague, and a mysterious order is chasing her.
Mystery, intrigue, double-crossing, betrayals abound in this book. It was definitely a good read. It took me a little while to get into it, but I'm so glad I stuck with it. The mix of 16th century intrigue with modern day teens was fun. Spending time in Prague with Czech language was fun as well.
