This series is becoming a favorite: I wasn't a fan of the first story but the characters grew on me and I was glad to catch up with them.
Allison Brennan delivers another excellent thriller, one that starts with a bang and kept me hooked till the last page.
There's plenty of unexpected twists and surprises, I was on the edge till the end and I liked the solution.
Great pacing, storytelling and plot.
Highly recommended.

In some cultures we are alive as long as our memory is alive, as long as someone i calling our name. The people who live far from their country keep the memories alive telling stories about how they lived, what happened, and who came before.
Souvenirs from Kyiv is a book that must be read now as Ukraine is at risk of being destroyed and its people is suffering under bombs, resisting to an invasion.
This is the memory of those people. I studied Philosophy, Politics and Economics at the university and I had to sat some exam about European history but Ukraine was always a sort of ghost as a nation.
I know about Crimea as the Crimean War plays a relevant role in the making of my home country, but that was all I knew. I discovered that one of my favorite writer, Bulgakov, is Ukrainian after the start of the war.
This book opened my eyes and let me know what happened during WWII, the horror and the sufferance but also hope and strength.
Six fictionalised accounts of real people who were relatives of the author.
The foreword is a punch in the stomach as the author delivers pride, strength, and the support to the resistance of a country to an invasion.
Strongly recommended.

This is an entertaining, riveting, and well written story even if it's a bit too slow at times.
I liked the dual timeline but I was enthralled by the parts about the lost Roanoke colony.
It was the most fascinating part and I liked the re-imagining of what could have happened.
The author is a good storyteller, the character and plot development are quite good.

3,5* upped to 4
I supposed I'm too old or too cynical for another depressed millenial story.
I liked the style of writing and think that the author is talented storyteller.
Unfortunately I didn't care about the characters and the story fell flat.
Not my cup of tea
