Genre: YA Historical fiction
Read the first chapter to get a feel for the book and was pleasantly surprised. It includes an introduction which I found very useful into telling readers basically what the story entails and the scenery without giving away specific details.
The story is written in third person POV and follows a young woman named Julia who witnesses her father's death in a place she had once cherished. The chapter was very vivid, I could imagine every thing the author described in my head. My initial view of Julia was that she reminded me of Claudia from "Interview with the Vampire". Meaning, she had this innocence about her that I found similar to that of Claudia. It could also be due to the fact that the scenery seemed to remind me of the theater Claudia went to in the movie.
Overall I find this book to be quite promising just from the first chapter. I can't wait to see how Julia copes and tries to discover the mystery.

Kudos with your review! I have only read chapter one. I was drawn to this book by bond between main character and her dad. When she her dead die, it made you want to reach out to your dad.
In Chapter One it mention about "after the chaios quites down. No one notice the figure....." I want to know who did this.
Yes, this is historical fan. Regardless, I am picky. I am Bless to have Bachelor in Histor and being a history intern for online history new site. I am Blessed because despite my three disabilites, I did it!
I want to do some history research on this book. Again, I know it is fiction. I do hate when history get tangles.
Blessings
