A great read all the way to the end. I love when this happens. An even better mystery, strong heroine. Includes slavery, the underground railroad, ghost and glimpses of southern eating/living. LOVED IT!!

I was excited to read this variation of the Bluebeard tale, made new by featuring Bluebeard's goddaughter rather than a wife.

This book was wonderfully written. Kudos to Jane Nickerson on her debut!Strands of Bronze and Gold was both creepy and intriguing. Bernard scared the crap out of me and gave me the heebie jeebies. He was a very strong character. Probably the strongest I've ever read. But I felt like he had nothi...

As seen on Ed and Em's Reviews!Do you see this cover? It's eye-catching and absolutely gorgeous. The coloring and the font? Sold. I immediately signed on for Strands of Bronze and Gold. I had extremely high expectations. After finishing, I'd have to say they were too high. Strands of Bronze and Gold...

I was initially drawn to Strands of Bronze and Gold because of that gorgeous cover, but I also love fairy tales as much as the next girl. Truth be told, I'd never actually heard of the Bluebeard fairy tale until I discovered this book. Much like my experience with Entwined, I went into Strands wit...

Strands of Bronze and Gold is a re-telling of the Bluebeard Grimm tale. Like most other Grimm tales it is less fairy princess and more dark, gritty, mysterious story. The re-telling was no different. I was constantly wondering what would happen next and how the main character was going to escape her...
