![]() ![]() They join forces to bring her to justice. ![]() ![]() Both Ian and Nina have the same enemy: the vicious predator known as the Huntress. The second storyline follows British war correspondent Ian Graham who has become a Nazi hunter. When she is stranded behind enemy lines, Nina becomes the prey of a lethal Nazi murderess known as the Huntress, and only Nina’s bravery and cunning will keep her alive. When the Nazis attack the Soviet Union, she risks everything to join the legendary Night Witches, an all-female night bomber regiment wreaking havoc on the invading Germans. There’s Nina Markova who always dreamed of flying. This novel features three storylines at mostly different timelines. The Huntress is very different, however, it shares those same qualities! It’s so well-written and a complete story. Quinn’s prior novel, The Alice Network, is one of my favorite historical fiction novel I’ve read (check out my review and discussion questions). ![]()

There was no doubt that Emmanuelle Holmes was the only love of his life, as his previous relationship paled in comparison. In Kaleidoscope, you have a second chance at love, but one that you KNOW, as a reader, was Jacob Decker's first heart choice. When I finally decided to listen/read Kaleidoscope, it was like coming back home to VINTAGE KRISTEN ASHLEY. Sooooo, I ended up taking a sabbatical from reading anything K.A. because I didn't feel she delivered a romance that readers could believe was undoubtably a "forever romance" between Ham and Zara (due to February.in my heart I believe Zara was Ham's second choice since February was taken). I hated the love "set up" so much that I was really upset with K.A.
