So I was kind of hard-pressed not to pick this book up when I heard it was about assassin nuns. No, seriously, assassin nuns. Just take that in for a moment. It is every bit as awesome as it sounds. In fact, given it is that odd and almost-impossible-to-find combination of fantasy and historical...
Upon reading the first pages of this book, my mind immediately went through some thoroughly unpleasant flashbacks to The Hunger Games.A note to all authors: if you're going to write a story in first person present tense, don't make the story sound like it's being narrated in hindsight. The reason fo...
I loved reading this tale. I adore historical paranormal books. Saint Mortain is not one I had heard of before, but he and his Death Maidens certainly intrigued me to keep reading. Isemae is a strong and independent young woman, while it took her a while to realize this for herself it was always in ...

I get this is a young adult book, but honestly if the main character is an assassin there should be more killing, you know more assassinating. And that’s complaint one. Grave Mercy is an interesting idea – take an alternative medieval Brittany, add assassin nuns (...
I gota copy from Netgalley when this title was available as a read it now. A fantastic follow up to Grave Mercy, picking up almost immediately where the first book left off. As much as loved Ismae from the first book, I found myself liking Sybella even more as a character. While the political and ...
