1789. The Bastille is marked for destruction. Skirmishes in the city are rife and revolution is in the air. When a gruesomely murdered rebel is found in the prison morgue, a plot is suspected.
pickIf you are looking for a thrilling adventure novel, you could do much worse than The Bastille Spy. It's a thrill ride from start to finish, with bad-ass girl power, and charming pirate and revolutionary heroism. Every chapter is fun and engaging, and I have a sneaking suspicion many of us will read it through the night just to find out what happens next.
Didn‘t love this one, but it did include more than one #swordfight

I haven‘t read this one yet - it‘s an ARC from #readersfirst that I haven‘t yet got round to....
However, given that it‘s set during the French Revolution, then #ipredictariot!

pickA fun and entertaining read, a real rollercoaster of a ride. It gathers pace and never lets go until the end. I loved the mix of fact and fiction. There‘s a great sense of time and place and ‘The Terror‘ is vividly described. It‘s very well written with some humour thrown in, easy to read and kept me captivated from the the first page. There is more than a hint of James Bond in this story, it‘s action packed and full of ‘Q‘ worthy gadgets. 5⭐️
Look who replied to my review on Goodreads!!!
Glad she took it well, it wasn't a bad review but it wasn't a rave review either, if you want to see what I wrote check out my review on Goodreads or here. 📚📖
I am using the tagged book for my #52booksin52weeks challenge. As I visited Paris in February.

pickGood. Even though it took awhile to get going, once it did the story was fast paced and you can tell the story was researched well. Thank you #ReadersFirst for the free copy.

pickI read this through Jellybooks, so it‘s not actually released until August. It‘s a cracker! A rip-roaring adventure story, with a strong, intelligent female lead, who can teach the men a thing or two! Not bad for a woman in the 1700‘s!
So I‘m still up way past my bedtime, waiting for my husband to get home with my son - they‘re in Accident and Emergency, waiting to see a doctor who will look at the X-ray and tell us whether he has broken something in his arm. They‘ve been 2 hours and will probably be longer. So I‘m reading this off Jellybooks to try and take my mind off the wait. It‘s not really working, but it‘s a good book so far!
