The Thirteenth Tale

The stack of books had been sitting on the cart for a little while, and every so often, I'd pick up a copy of The Thirteenth Tale, think about reading it, then put it back.  It took Katie saying YOU MUST READ THIS BOOK for me to finally do just that. The Thirteenth Tale is a wonder!   An eerie page turner, that has you hooked from the first sentence. The book has the swirling dark feverish mood of Jane Eyre, (which is referenced throughout) and the page turning aspect of...what? A thriller? Hard to say. There are so many twists and turns in this layered and nuanced work of art that it is difficult to categorize.

I am reluctant to give away anything, because trust me you don't want to have one drop of this magical book ruined for you.  Suffice it to say, I stayed up reading 2 NIGHTS IN A ROW until 3:00 a.m.  I was also a little nervous going to sleep because the book does have a spooky element - but thats a whole other story!  (And one I can't tell you without ruining the plot!)
