Dancing about in an era with a storyline that reminds one of Jane Austen and Georgette Heyer, the author has created a compelling story, complete with the fanciful society setting of the time. It was a quick read despite the length, and the characters of Sterling and her sister are reasonably well-developed, with Sterling being far more flushed out and complete.

The one complaint I do have with this story was the ever-variant point of view. While we have the majority of the story told in Sterling’s point of view, there are passing inputs and perspectives from other characters that are not clearly defined, often requiring me to go back once I have realized the voice had changed. It was the one strong mark against the book in my count, although there were a significant number of deaths, which did mute the tone somewhat.

It was, however, a fun read and as her first published book, certainly one that should encourage readers to follow this author’s career.
I received an eBook copy from the author for purpose of honest review for IOB Tours. I was not compensated for this review, and all conclusions are my own responsibility.
