This was kind of an odd book. Weirdly enough, it brought to mind a mix-up of 'A Discovery of Witches' and '50 Shades of Grey', albeit tamer than 50 and not nearly as well written and planned as Discovery. I didn't like some of the interactions in the book, the pace it the plot moves at (which is only partially explained in the last chapter), or the back and forth of the chapters between Amiens and 2008. It was, however, a quick, easy, and more-or-less engaging read. I would recommend picking this book up from the library for a weekend trip or a fast summer read, but not as a purchase to keep forever.
