What really happened to Anastasia Romanov?
Anastasia Romanov thought she would never feel more alone than when the gunfire started and her family began to fall around her. Surely the bullets would come for her next. But they didn't. Instead, two gnarled old hands reached for her. When she wakes up she discovers that she is in the ancient hut of the witch Baba Yaga, and that some things are worse than being dead.
In modern-day Chicago, Anne doesn't know much about Russian history. She is more concerned about getting into a good college—until the dreams start. She is somewhere else. She is someone else. And she is sharing a small room with a very old woman. The vivid dreams startle her, but not until a handsome stranger offers to explain them does she realize her life is going to change forever. She is the only one who can save Anastasia. But, Anastasia is having her own dreams…
So, I loved this book. It is amazing. Anne was sweet, but was pretty tough at times. Anastasia was really cute and sweet. Ethan was totally swoon worthy, if the whole book about him doing regular things, I would still read it. The plot was action pack and really exciting. The originality was really good. I have never seen a book like this and it was totally awesome. I am excited for what else Preble will write, because I am sure that it will be just as amazing.

I really wanna read this.
ReplyDeleteWow, that's some blog tour! Great review, this is supposed to be a great read. I like the infusion of history and the swoon worth male.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know what this one about, but I didn't think it'd have anything to with Anastasia. That's an interesting twist for me. Nice review! :)
