Although I'm not usually a fan of historical literature, this review makes me think of "Beautiful Creatures" which I enjoyed immensely. Thanks for the awesome review. I'm adding this to my bookshelves.

Fantasy, adultery, magic and history? Not to mention war... well from that cover I wpuld have never guessed. I will definitely be adding this one to my list... just need a secret place to runaway to and read for hours... lol, because it looks like this one is a page turner, minus the editing faults of course. Great review!
Between the pages of a book is a lovely place to be...

This one sounds interesting, but I'm having trouble comprehending how these fantasy elements work in with WWll history. From reading the blurb and the review, it sounds like two completely different elements that don't go together. I'll check it out and see if they do.

Sounds like a fun book. I like the premise of having a family with all kinds of paranormal gifts. I'll think about putting this book on my reading list.

I agree with you. So far the grammatical errors are distracting. Your review has given me hope as it sounds like an interesting read. The different characters with their unique 'graces' make it exciting ! I can't wait to finish this book! Thanks for the great review!

Pure drama! A family of locators, shimmeras, faceters, seers, knowers and illusionists is, no doubt, an unusual one. I think the mix of the historical as well as the fantastic in Graced 1943 make it an interesting reading.

Sounds like the premise of the story was well thought out but perhaps the actual execution could be improved with a round or two of editing. Quite an interesting concept however...

While I do typically enjoy smaller groups of well-developed characters, everything else about this book screams that it's something I would enjoy reading. I'm definitely adding this to my to-read list. Thank you for the wonderful review!
