"Treacle and Treason" by JoAnne Kenrick {Book Review}



Book Description:


It’s Bonfire Night, but the fireworks in Estella’s boudoir are more impressive than any rocket or sparkler. She has more pressing things on her mind than trivial traditions like burning the Guy and crunching her canines on treacle toffee. A spot of unrequited love, and her little deady bear’s rotting body.

What better way to distract herself than to entertain you with a ghostly retelling of the infamous Guy Fawkes and the Fifth of November legend.

In York, England—new job, new life—Tansy finds herself both fascinated and scared by the haunted history this cobbled-street city has to offer. Determined not to let her fears chase her back to her small home town, she spends the night in the birth place of Guy Fawkes on the anniversary of his arrest. When she comes face to face with the spirit of Britain’s most notorious conspirer, he kisses her oh so scandalously. The ghost of his lover joins the interlude, and takes over Tansy’s body. Possessed by Marie, she is powerless to interrupt the passion exploding between them. Not that she’d want to. Pleasure abound, their story is unraveled…

…and it’s nothing like the history books depict.

Review:


"Treacle and Treason" is the fourth book in the 'Coffin Series' and the first one I've read by the author. A short novella that is filled with vampires, zombies and sex. I would suggest reading the books in order as I was confused on some parts that I'm sure I missed in the previous books. A nice easy read that will get your blood boiling.

I give "Treacle and Treason" a 4 star rating.
