Happy Thursday and Merry Christmas everyone! Welcome back to Books from the Backlog, the weekly linkup I'm taking part of which is hosted by Carole's Random Life in Books. This is a great way to put a spotlight on books that I've had sitting on my shelf for awhile. I don't know when I'll get to my weekly featured book, but I hope to some time hopefully soon.
This Week's Neglected Book:
Published: September 1, 2017
Sometimes, when a person dies, their spirit goes looking for somewhere to hide. Some people have space within them, perfect for hiding
Young Makepeace has learned to defend herself from the ghosts that try to possess her in the night, desperate for refuge, but one day a dreadful event causes her to drop her guard. And now there’s a spirit inside her.
The spirit is wild, brutish, and strong, and it may be her only defense when she is sent to live with her father’s rich and powerful family. There is talk of civil war, and they need people like her to protect their dark and terrible family secret. But as she plans to escape and heads out into a country torn apart by war, Makepeace must decide which is possession—or death.
Why Did I Add It?
I don't think I've ever read historical fantasy set during the English Civil War and this sounds exactly up my alley.
Have you read this or would you read it? Would you recommend it to me? As always, thanks for visiting my blog and perhaps even commenting down below!
Sounds like a good one, though my most recent YA novels were a bit disappointing. And I hope you had a very Merry Christmas! :D
ReplyDeleteI'll find out eventually. I hope you had a Merry Christmas and will have a happy New Year!
DeleteI haven't read this one, but I am a big fan of Frances Hardinge so I would definitely give this one a shot.
