A story of a sister's love against the backdrop of the Nazi elite.
Well researched, this book shows a different side of WWII, showing the shocking disparities between the lives of German officers and regular citizens. I wanted so badly to like this book, but found it rather hard for me to get into, with the pacing, the characters being in their heads a lot, and I just wasn't a fan of the romantic relationship.
Kat is a headstrong young woman who fiercely loves her younger sister, Ellie who has chosen a dangerous path, and Kat being the elder is willing to do anything for her sister. She is joined by Barrett, a man hired her father extract her sister as well, and together they are swept into a world of intrigue. At some moments there is a lot going on, and in others the pace was slower, and I questioned choices that the characters made.
I really liked how this book takes a different angle and looks at the high society, the parties, and more, getting closer to the glitz and glamour, as well as the gritty truths underneath.
I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
*I would also like to note that this is not a faith focused read.
