5 Stars Easy!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The Huntress by Kate Quinn is the book I thought The Lost Girls of Paris by Pam Jenoff would be. (See review here) Having only read The Alice Network by Kate Quinn before I didn't have much to go on. I was hopeful my reading experience would be similar because I loved that one!
Thankfully, The Huntress was FANTASTIC. The story is told from three different perspectives, but I was never bored or wished to "get back to" another character. Jordan (a 17 year old girl in postwar Boston who dreams of becoming a photographer), Nina (a Soviet WWII night bomber or "Night Witch" as the Germans call them and Ian (a young British war correspondent who tracks down Nazi's after the war to bring them to justice).
I laughed, I cried and I learned so much from this book. You could tell Ms. Quinn did her research and it showed, but it was never boring. I enjoyed the mystery within the historical fiction and couldn't have asked for a better book.
I read that her next book will be on Bletchley Park and I can't wait!!

Great review. Can't wait to read this one. I have it on hold at my library. Hopefully soon.

I do and thanks Michelle.
I’ve been hesitant to pick this up because I didn’t care for the authors last book. Your 5 stars has me wavering though! :)
I enjoyed this book, too, and I loved your review of it!

They are all very likable characters who are struggling with something and it's fun to watch them figure it out.

Wow, what a review, Michelle! I’m really excited about getting into this one now. I hope I love it as much as you did!!!
