YA, Paranormal and Historical
The St. Augustine Trilogy: Book I
A review on Amazon.com
by Bargain Shopper
“I rarely pick up the first book in what are advertised as trilogies because I am not a patient person. When they are good, I want them all NOW.
“I guess I’m just greedy that way. However, I was offered an opportunity to read this … and I jumped on it. I’m so glad I did (well, except for my lack of patience). I really enjoyed this book.
“I have always liked historical fiction that doesn’t play fast and loose with history (Spats between Napoleon and Josephine? No thank you, you weren’t there.), and this book doesn’t do that. It adheres closely to what really happened, albeit with the necessary introduction of fictional characters able to tell the story from outside history itself.
“It also explores an area of American History that is not very well known, and does it in a way that will hold the interest of even those who aren’t attracted for the history side. It has a paranormal/urban fantasy-ish side as well, which I also enjoy. How ever else would a modern character tell a historical story with accuracy? lol.
“So now I wait impatiently for the next book, which I am sure will be worth the wait. Read this one. If you’re a ‘grown up’, don’t let the YA designation put you off. It is well worth a read.”
