It has been a long time since I randomly picked a book to read but this one caught my eye from the synopsis alone and I’m so glad it didn’t disappoint. I absolutely loved Sesily and Caleb’s story - so many great one liners and I love Sesily’s wit and sarcasm. If you’re looking for a great historical fiction with some humor and knot in stomach scenes, look no further. The hijinks of Sesily and her friends are fantastic and I love that a band of women are keeping London on their toes.
Favorite quotes - “Don’t tempt me with a delicious challenge.” & “I would walk into fire if it meant seeing you one last time. And I would not hesitate.”
Moderate: Murder and Death
