Huge thanks to Ballantine Books and Net Galley for providing me with this free e-galley in exchange for an honest review. A lightning –quick string of arpeggios launches the melody into a frantic maelstrom of notes that make the hairs suddenly rise on my arms. There are two timelines to the story, modern day events surrounding Julia interspersed with the story of Lorenzo, the composer of the piece which span back in time to just before and during the second World War in Vienna. A beautiful, heart-warming story of two broken souls who find salvation in one another and a romance that is a testament to the powerful force of true love.

I had hoped to discover more in the medical or musical realms, perhaps pining for more mystery than history. Shen crafted a raw, honest and heart inducing story with a stunning storyline that left me breathless. Gerritsen taps into the historical mistreatment of the Jews, told from an Italian perspective, but it is the modern-day story that drew me in a little more.

I’m already dreaming about some snack being shoved inside her vagina, chocolate is too 2019 maybe he will use something like a vegan protein bar. You will become consumed with both of their tragic pasts and cheer them on both individually and as a couple. I can't wait for people to read this story, get ready for the most angst book by this author to date, is an emotional ride that owns my mind, heart and soul! However, after she plays it for the first time, she begins to believe that her toddler daughter hates her and is capable of depraved violence. I know without a doubt this book and the characters will stay with me forever, there’s just no forgetting these two, they’ve etched their way deeply into my heart and I’m captivated by everything that is them.

Julia doesn't understand what is happening to her daughter, but she thinks she knows what's causing it. While the whole book wasn't creepy, taking the reader back to the holocaust might as well have been.This causes her to embark on a journey to Venice in hopes of finding out more about the music that seems to be causing so much havoc! The strength she has to endure, the evolution of her character, and the girl she is at the end are astounding.

first of all, the same night West met Grace he slept with this OW Tess, who Grace is semi-friends with because they're in the same program. I felt so consumed and captivated by the story that I stayed up through the night just to finish it!

I love a book that slowly unveils the depths of each character, and Playing with Fire knocked it out of the park! Her strength (such an incomplete word) and her resilience are astonishing, as is her grace, in the face of all the crap life keeps throwing at her.
