3 STARS
For me this book was just okay. Granted it did have it's moments. Some of those had to do with the spunky interchanges between Anya and Seb. Both of them had lives through some interesting times; dangerous ones as well.
Anya was clever and resourceful and that has kept her steps ahead of the vile Count who is after her.
There is also some good secondary people in the story. That includes Anya's close friend, Elizaveta who is also on the run with her.
Charlotte added some flavor to the story as did the Dreaded Dowager Dorothea.
There was plenty of Russian fairy-tales, traditions, and superstitions. There is also dangers, attempted kidnappings and rescues.
A surprise twist is waiting towards the end of the book.
I'm glad that there was a H.E.A. but I just wish I had liked it more. Maybe others will enjoy it more.
