The author of the Hangman‘s Daughter series has created a new series surrounding 13 year old Luka who must flee for his life after his family is killed and his sister is dragged away. Excellent and I can‘t wait to read the next book.

Here's a peek at my Goodreads page with what I am #currentlyreading for #photoadaynov16. I am most into the Book of the Night, which some others are saying is too juvenile compared to Potzsch's Hangman series. I am enjoying it, though, despite the sometimes awkward translation and anachronisms that usually mark his books.
