Prisoner of Night and Fog by Anne Blankman
4.0

well that was definitely interesting!

prisoner of night and fog is about gretchen, a girl who just so happens to be hitler's "niece" and favorite. as in, hitler calls her "my sunshine." but then! gretchen finds herself falling in love with intrepid jewish reporter daniel. and of course, in typical YA fashion, drama ensues.

this book definitely provided an interesting perspective. this was the first book i've ever read in which the main character was in hitler's close circle, and it was really fascinating to read about! gretchen's transition from believing every word hitler says to completely hating him was interesting to witness. i have to say, gretchen got a bit too melodramatic sometimes and annoyed me, but for the most part, i really enjoyed this book and i'll definitely be continuing on with this series!
