Colleen Coble’s Butterfly Palace is set in the early 1900’s.
“Austin, Texas, 1904: Abandoned by the love of her life and still mourning the
loss of her mother. Lily Donaldson has turned her back on the pain and come to
Austin for a fresh start.” After the death of her father and then her mother
Lily needs to survive and finds employment in Austin. She faces life head on because she must.
There are several twist and turns in this historical, mystery, and romantic
novel.
Although I wouldn’t say
I was left wondering what was going to happen I really enjoyed reading
Butterfly Palace. The characters were fun and colorful. I really want a house
like the Butterfly Palace with all of its corridors and rooms. One thing that I
look for when reading this type of book is how well the imagery is. I want to
be able to feel like I’m there and that I can hear and see the people and the
location. Ms. Coble did a good job pulling me into the story. I would suggest
this book to anyone who loves historical romances with a little action and
mystery thrown in. It’s a fast and easy read because it is so much fun.
The only con I could think about this book is that it is
pretty predictable but that’s okay with me when I’m looking for something to
read so I can sit back and relax. This is a good vacation book.
I received this book from Booksneeze at no charge in
exchange for an honest review.
