I only this year realised that Belle, the book I adored as a late teen was a series. I was worried that my love for Belle, Etienne, Mog, Garth and Jimmy wouldn't stand the test of time. 

I was wrong. Honestly this book had me gripped from page one. The authors research into conditions in the war was well done and I like how she ended Belle and Jimmy's story. The punches kept on coming. 

I look forward to book three.
