I am very excited about my pick this week :) Of course!
Strands of Bronze and Gold
Jane Nickerson
A sweeping Gothic thriller based on the spine-chilling "Bluebeard" fairytale.Stare at the cover.
17-year-old Sophia Petheram has been sheltered by her doting family all her life, until the day her father dies. It's 1855, and with no money and few options, she goes to live with her guardian, the mysterious Bernard de Cressac, at the astonishingly lavish Wyndriven Abbey in Mississippi.
Sophie has always longed for a comfortable life, and she finds herself both attracted to and shocked by the charm and easy manners of her overgenerous guardian. But as she begins to piece together the mystery of his past, it's as if thread by thread, a silken net is woven around her. And when she begins glimpsing the ghosts of his former wives (all with hair as red as her own) in the forgotten corners and dark hallways of the Abbey, Sophie knows she's in de Cressac's trap.
With enchanting romance, chilling suspense, and dashes of the supernatural, Strands of Bronze and Gold is a compulsively-readable debut.
STARE AT IT.
And soak in its absolute and complete gorgeousness.
Now that we've got that over with, let's talk about the blurb. Historical fiction generally isn't my thing, but thrillers are, and romance is a must, so this book sounds like something I would completely fall in love with.
Honestly, I just can't wait. This is bound to be an absolutely AMAZING book.
