My Thoughts
This book was
amazing, and I enjoyed it from start to finish. Kaye Dacus is a truly amazing author. I loved how the story
unfolded, with twists that you didn't see coming. William and Julia
were such amazing characters that you couldn't help but love, and
Julia's greedy relatives had you longing to reach through the pages
and give them a good beating. As soon as I read the last page I could
not wait to pick up book two, Ransome's Crossing
