The Book of Beloved by Carolyn Haines

5.0

Amazing, chilling story! So good it's hard to put down once you've started it! I was lucky enough to be a test reader for this before it was published. I just got done reading the published version, and still as chilling as the first time I read it! An amazing story set in the post-WWI era that reaches back to the Civil War. Raissa is an interesting protagonist. She's educated, smart, and witty who is a trailblazer of her time. She also has an interesting ability. Some parts are very creepy and hard to sleep if you read this at night! I had to read it during daylight hours! Haines is an amazing wordsmith with a true gift!
