I could not get myself to finish this book. As much as I liked the characters, it was just a bit long winded....I liked the premise of the book. I really did. I do love historical fiction. I do!

Yet the wooden beam didn't hit me. I looked up to see it land harmlessly on the pile of bricks a few feet away. The imp, now the size of a horse, stood on its hind legs. I hardly had time to consider what had happened when a creak and another monstrous groan from above signaled the imminent colla...
I wasn't sure where I was going, but I needed cold, fresh air and that meant slipping out of the ballroom altogether. I parted from Samuel who went in search of Myer and found a small parlor blessedly empty of revelers. I opened the door leading out to the balcony and closed it behind me. The bre...
