danadoesbooks 's review for:

The Nightingale's Castle by Sonia Velton
3.0
dark mysterious fast-paced

Thank you Harper Perennial and BiblioLifestyle for the gifted copy of The Nightingale's Castle!  All opinions in this review are my own.

I am always excited to read about a historical figure I know nothing about and Erzsebet Bathory did not dilsappoint!  While The Nightingale's Castle is definitely more speculative fiction than historical fiction, this was a fun fall read.  I highly recommend reading the Author's Note at the end because Sonia Velton details what we actually know about the Blood Countess and what she imagined into the unknown spaces.
