Title: First heartbreak then catharsis
Review: I was caught by this novel right off the bat, a gothic fantasy novel that features lesbians. I'm so there. It was as good as I'd hoped. The characters are well developed, as all Kallmaker characters are, and by chapter 2 I was already in love with both Christabel and Geraldine/Dina (mostly Dina). Their joy and their suffering are palpable (I admit, I cried a little at one point). But what struck me most was what a great job Kallmaker did of smoothly moving between the past and the present, then merging them without it becoming redundant, which it easily could have. Just a fun, entertaining read with great characters, an enthralling storyline, and tight writing.I am so glad that Bella Books is re-releasing Kallmaker's Laura Adams titles (especially for people like me who didn't even know about them). I've already ordered and pre-ordered all of them. So excited!
