I have feelings of hostility towards Ms Mcfadden. How could she treat Sugar this way?! This was well written but so very grim.

The only requirement of any friendship is loyalty once that‘s lost through betrayal lack of sense prejudice jealousy misunderstanding or misguided friendship with another that friendship is doomed and enemies are created , who was it that said you can never trust a friend who is friends with your enemy . Wonderful second instalment to what has become one of my favourite series so far , I can‘t wait to jump into the last of the trilogy .

Amara complicated her already precarious life so much in this book. It was incredibly stressful. The ending we got in this book was the exact result of her decisions and it was unfortunate but I couldn‘t see any other way out of it. Curious to see how this trilogy will end. I love some of these characters, I‘m scared for them and I‘m hoping happy endings. That being said, there is also a couple characters I want to see dead ☠️🤬

Pompeii - yes I found my photos from my last trip - il post some more ! Go go go ! And read wolf den what an amazing 🤩 page 📄 turner can‘t believe I had it on my TBR for so long !! Thank goodness 😅 there‘s now 2 more in the series . @TheAromaofBooks it‘s thanks to bookspin bingo I got around to reading this wonderful book 📖 thank you ☺️😘

JenReadsAlot I visited pompeii this year! 9mo
BethM @JenReadsAlot whhhhaaaatttt?! That‘s amazing! 9mo
JenReadsAlot @BethM It was! I went to Italy for 2 weeks in September! 9mo
Bookbuyingaddict Oh my goodness @BethM plan a trip ! Take the kids it is an amazing experience. My advice if you go in summer ;take lots of water 💦 to drink as once you in the ancient city (which is huge) there are no shops ! It‘s stunning how well preserved it is. Warning ⚠️ modern Pompeii isn‘t great , it‘s easy to catch the train 🚆 there from sorrento also wonderful. Trains are abit run down but cheap. You will need the whole day or 2/3 days to see it all ☺️ (edited) 9mo
TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!!! 9mo

Wow! Didn‘t work on audio for me but reading it blew me away. what a wonderful sweeping saga . It also helps that Iv been to Pompeii 4 times and have visited the brothel seen the stone beds and the murals and the house with the faun fountain (still in tact ) an amazing story really doing justice to what our sisters had to endure 😣and to the legend of Pompeii if you‘ve never been you really must put it on your bucket list it is Atlantis.fantastic

I couldn‘t put this book down! Friendship, betrayal, forbidden love, drama - it just had everything I was looking for to pull me out of the reading slump.

On my TBR for yonks and started this evening it has great reviews in the times and im surprised it‘s not more widely read on here. Wish It had been published when I was actually in Pompeii in 2017 ! We did go into the brothel the stone beds were tiny and stone !! Not very comfy and the murals still painted on the walls , so a punter would come in and ask for one of the numbered murals 😖those poor poor women ! Anyway it‘s a slow start,let‘s see

This was good! It is quite a tough read though. The reality of Pompeij brothel is brutal but I was happy that it wasn't toned down or romanticed. Characters were well written and I loved the description of the women's friendships. I think this book handles the topic of slavery and ownership of one's body really well. The story followed the route we walked through Pompeij last year when we visited there. I remember a lot of the locations.

ReadingRachael This sounds really interesting. I‘ve wanted to visit Pompeii ever since my high school/secondary school Latin teacher brought it to life for us. I ended up taking 3yrs of Latin (grade 11, 12, & 13) and our class followed the story of a family up until the eruption of Vesuvius…so so tragic 😭 11mo
Martta @ReadingRachael You should definitely visit there! I've been there twice and it is just amazing! There is so much to see. Last year we walked there like 7 hours and saw many of the places mentioned in this book. We got to visit many of the villas and the theatre, arena, forum and so on. It is quite a unique experience! 😊 11mo
ReadingRachael That sounds fantastic, it would be so interesting 😊 11mo

Started reading this. It feels quite brutal. I love the location though. I visited Pompeii a little less than a year ago and saw many of the actual locations mentioned in the book.
