The Diamond Secret by Suzanne Weyn REVIEW


Summary:

Nadya is a mischievous kitchen girl in a Russian tavern. Having nearly drowned in the Iset River during the turmoil of the Revolution, she has no memory of her past and longs for the life she cannot remember.
Then two young men arrive at the tavern and announce that Nadya's long-lost grandmother has sent them to find her. Yearning for family and friendship, she agrees to accompany them to Paris for the joyful reunion. Nadya eagerly embarks on her journey, never dreaming it will be one of laughter, love - and betrayal.

My Thoughts: 

This book was good, but not as good as I expected it to be. It's a retelling of Anastasia - but it doesn't really talk about her life before she survived the killing of her family, except for the first one or two chapters and Nadya's dreams.

The romance seemed kind of forced into the story.

I like the story of Anastasia, but I didn't really like this one.

My Rating: 2 stars
