Unbroken Bonds

Circle Of Shadows by Marisa Linton is an entertaining supernatural historical novel that engrossed me from the start.

The action is set in 1904 in Edwardian Britain as we travel between London, Yorkshire and Oxford. We follow a sister in search of the truth. She wants to know who, or what killed her father? And why is it after her sister?

Evie Winstanley is a girl ahead of her time. She is fearless, loyal, brave and true. In a male-dominated patriarchal society, she is not afraid to stand up to both evil, and male bullies.

Marisa Linton draws us into her world from the start. The novel is very atmospheric with its’ dark streets and swirling waters.

We see that all is not as it seems. Characters are not always the same underneath as the image they are projecting.

As the novel progressed and the action ramped up, so did my heart-rate.
