Critiques
Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing.I enjoyed the first two-thirds of this book. The author created suspense around a bright, young woman, named Carrie, who goes to Oxford to unravel the mysteries about her deceased mother. I was totally unprepared for the introduction of the supernatural elements which did not fit with the first part of the book.
Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing.Cassie comes to Oxford University to try to learn more about her mother, who died when she was 14, and possibly identify and locate her father. She becomes caught up in researching a secret society which may have led to her mother fleeing Oxford. I enjoyed the first half of this book, as Cassie looked for information about her mother and adjusted to the Oxford society. I was less enchanted by the second half as Cassie got more into the supernatural aspects of the secret society.
