Thank you, Silvermoon! Yeah...the torture scenes were ones that I read fairly quickly because I also don't enjoy them. However, it didn't deter from my enjoyment of the book!

Haha, Constant Ghosts. :lol: That would definitely hold a different storyline. I really enjoyed this book in particular. If you do check it out, hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

Wonderful review. I grabbed this book because I love a story where the main character is a strong and capable woman. I also have a love of tarot cards so learning the history of them intrests me very much. Congrats to the author on being chosen to be BOTD.

Terrific review! I can feel your excitement about this book and I have to tell you that it's infectious. I'm very excited about reading this book. I love the genre and love the fact that each time change is clearly labeled. It's sometimes difficult to follow a book like this when the changes aren't clear. I've downloaded the book. Free today. Thanks so much for sharing.

Thank you very much, Strangerthanfiction! I really did have fun with this read, and I'm glad that it shows in my writing. I also like it when author clearly labels when storylines change, otherwise it can get confusing. If you get the chance to read it, I hope you it enjoy as much as I did!

I did download this book. Thanks for making this one free. The review was very good. I also like to read a book that I am sorry to see end. The story line sounds very interesting. Congratulations to the author on having the BOTD!
