There are two books with the exact same title and I accidentally bought and read the wrong one, more’s the pity.

Light, quick read. Interesting story and characters, however, it is a little misleading as the first half of the book seems to be about Caroline Slade, the overlooked sister in the Slade household, but the second half seems to focus on her sister, Laurel. I was expecting the plot to go in a different direction, but I still found the resolution satisfying.

Pretty quick read. A lot crazier of a story than I thought it would be! Good characters!

Meh. I wonder why I read this? Anachronism-laden fluff, although well written by an author in control of her craft.
