Welcome to Litsy!

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.

The second on this trilogy, we continue the story of Amara, now living as a concubine to a rich man. Set in Pompeii and rich with detail of the lives of slaves, prostitutes and rich Lords and ladies.

I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new. Don‘t judge me - I have a lot of books. Join in if you want!

Amara makes me so anxious. I don‘t know whether she‘s a good person making bad decisions in a bad environment or a bad person trying to make good decisions and failing miserably. I don‘t know whether she‘s selfish or brave or foolish. I‘m terrified that she‘ll end up badly and equally worried what harm her “success” might inflict (on herself and others). But it‘s atmospheric and real and you can bet I‘m coming back for the third installment.
