Sending to Kiptos through BookRelay
Received in the mail today, thanks devon612. Have been wanting to read this for a long time. Will start on it after my current read. And thanks for the lovely postcard.
Quite a good read but I built up too much expections for this book while waiting for it, so when it didn't meet my standards, it was a little disappointing. Dumb but I never learn. :P
About a plain woman Nell Calder whose face was ruined and given a new face which transformed her into a swan. Initially, she wanted to die as she felt guilty over not being able to protect her daughter, but Nicholas Tanek who saved her, gave her motivation to live: revenge against the murderer who had killed her daughter.

I picked this up wanting something engaging to take my mind off revision stress and it certainly did that. Nicely paced and well written, a bit tense, a bit of romance, a twist part way through that I didn't see coming - great!! Will definitely look out for more of her books.
Thanks again Kis!!

Journal Entry 15 by perfect-circle from Newcastle upon Tyne, Tyne and Wear United Kingdom on Tuesday, July 14, 2009
A nice change from my previous couple of books, which I've struggled with, this was a well-paced thriller with a good twist that I definitely didn't see coming. A great read.
