Book Review: The House of Velvet and Glass

I've been devouring books lately. And some were actually worth sharing with you. First I read The House of Velvet and Glass, which is by the same author as The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane and really all you need to know is that The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane is better.

Haha just kidding.

That isn't all you need to know, but honestly The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane IS better.

The House of Velvet and Glass is about a rich shipping family in Boston in the early 1900's and saying much more would give away plot twists that made me exclaim awkwardly while sitting by the pool in North Carolina, because they were just so shocking!

Well, shocking and obvious. That's the problem with this book, its trying to be surprising with its plot twists, but with a little knowledge of the time period and global history its pretty clear from almost the beginning what they are. Its a good story and has a classic beginning middle and end while the main character figures things out about herself and her family, they climax, and are then resolved.

Its just that, the other book I've read by this author was better.
