The Secret History of the Pink Carnation by Lauren Willig


TITLE:  The Secret History of the Pink Carnation
AUTHOR:  Willig, Lauren
GENRE:  Historical Fiction/Chick-lit
DATES READ:  9/16/2013 - 9/23/2013
MY RATING:  4/5

I found the first and third book within this author's series at the local library book sale, and I am crazy about them!  I definitely have to pick up the second one as well.  I loved the subject matter of this book; from the spies, to the romance, to the action and adventure.  It was all thrilling!  I can't wait to continue reading the series.

It's an effortless mixture of historical fiction, chick-lit, and a little mystery thrown in.  There's swash-buckling, swooning, and snappy witticism.  Very fresh.  An excellent balance for a rainy day read.

I thoroughly enjoyed and cared about each of the characters.  I could picture everything vividly, and there were many twists and turns along the way.  Cheers to Lauren Willig for an enthralling tale.

Will read and write soon!
