A little bit about what you'll find reviewed here

A little bit about what you'll find reviewed on this blog: I believe the best books involve characters you wish you could read more about long after the book is finished. Recently, I've been searching for hidden gems from the past. I read mostly fiction, and I'm a bit of a prude. I don't normally enjoy books with sex or excessive language.

Who I am:
I raised two wonderful girls, and I'm super proud of them. I enjoy reading (of course), sewing, cross stitching, photography and writing. I live in the high desert portion of Washington (which I didn't know existed until my husband and I decided to move here) and have really enjoyed my time out here. I am excited to see what God has next in store for my life!

Firstborn (Descendants of the House of Bathory #2) - Tosca Lee

This is the second book in the series.  I think it’s important to read The Progeny before reading this one, it’s a continuation of that story.  There is a little summary at the beginning to remind the reader of where we’re at, but I don’t think it’s quite enough if you haven’t read the first book.

We’re continuing on with Audra’s quest to save her kind and those she loves.  The stakes are raised, and there are some major twists and turns in there.  Audra isn’t sure who she can trust, but she has to choose someone once in a while and just hope she isn’t betrayed.  I won’t say too much, it’s such a good story, and I don’t want to spoil anything.

This was an awesome book.  It’s a page-turner.  It’s written in the first person, which is normally hard for me to get into, but this was brilliantly done.  I had trouble putting this one down, it was so intense!  Not everyone gets a happy ending, but there IS a happy ending in there.

It seems like this is the end of this series, everything seems wrapped up in a neat little bow at the end, but I don’t know for certain.  I always look forward to Tosca Lee’s novels, and this one didn’t disappoint.  Great book!

*I received a copy of this book from Howard Books through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
