I read this book in three days, which I gave up sleep to read it!!  I love the characters. The only other book I read by the author is Deathless, but I plan to read more.  The acknowledgment is WELL WORTH READING.

Enjoyed the story. Connected to the characters.  Excellent writing. Story flowed well.  Nail biting at times! Very easy read.  I received an advance review copy for free.  I’m leaving this review voluntarily.

Loved so much about this book.  History lessons, life lessons, and humor.  My favorite part of the book is at the very beginning in Italy.
