The Red Magician by Lisa Goldstein (received through NetGalley)
4 stars
A National Award Winning book in the 1980's, this short novel follows one teenage girl and her village during World War II and the holocaust. When a strange red-haired magician comes to Kicsi's Hungarian village to warn them of their impending doom in a concentration camp, he makes enemies with a local Rabbi and as a result the villagers choose not to heed his warning. This is simply yet beautifully written and the descriptions of life in the concentration camp are some of the most heart-breaking that I have read. The magic parts are sometime confusing but I thought this sad yet hopeful book was amazing. I received eBook form of this novel through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
What a Duke Dares by Anna Campbell
3 stars
Cam and Pen grew up together, both dealing with scandalous families. While Pen has tried to escape by traveling, Cam has thrown himself into being an honorable Duke. When Pen's dying brother asks Cam to bring his sister home, they are thrust into an adventurous growing attraction. While I liked the actual storyline of this historical romance, I found myself growing frustrated with the characters whose thought processes just didn't seem realistic. I had no problems finishing this book but I wasn't as entranced with it as I was hoping I would be. I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
