The Vespertine




This book is so addicting! I read it in a day! With that being said...I finished this book a little confused! It starts out in one place and then you find yourself in another...and unless you carefully read the headings in between...you will be lost too!


Amelia is sent by her brother and sister in law to Baltimore to find a husband and to be properly formed. Instantly she forms a strong friendship with Zora and her other "cousins". At the same time something weird happens...Amelia has a vision at sunset...even more weird...it comes true! At the same time she meets the mysterious Nathaniel who seems to appear when ever she wants him. She is drawn to him and can't figure out why. Suddenly, AMelia finds herself thrust into society where people want her to see a vision for her, which isn't a bad thing until they start coming true...and there is lots of death involved.


This is where I got confused! The ending was a little murky! At first Amelia is blamed for the all the bad things happening...and then it's Nathaniel...They say that he has posessed her...not sure about that! There is something about Nathaniel that seems a little off...but that's all you get! There are so many questions left at the end...but I guess that's why there are sequels right? I really did like this book, and I am interested to see what happens in the sequel!


I gave this book 3 apples
