Jane Seymour, The Haunted Queen

I recently finished my NetGalley copy of Alison Weir's fabulous new novel JANE SEYMOUR: THE HAUNTED QUEEN.  Wow, what a fantastic story.  I've always thought of Jane Seymour as a mousy, quiet woman.  A woman who was the antithesis of Anne Boleyn.  The calm after the storm.  Well, this book throws all my preconceived ideas out the window.  I have no doubt she was the calm after the storm that was Anne Boleyn, but she was no shrinking violet, either.  The Jane Seymour portrayed by Alison Weir (one of THE BEST historical novelist I've ever read), is a calm, but highly intelligent young woman.  One who happened to catch the eye of Henry.  The only woman who was able to give him the son and heir he required and craved.  She was full of life and joy, but the title tells it all.  She was haunted.  There is an element of the supernatural in this book.  She is haunted by a dark figure; she feels partly responsible for the death of ...

Selah Kilbrid may descend from the goddess Brigid, but her heart beatsóand breaksóthe same as any human. Yet enduring the scorn of London's most noble lords and ladies is a small price to pay for a chance at true happiness. Selah would endure much more for love, and her betrothed, Lord Henry Fitzalan, is prepared to challenge anyone foolish enough to stand in their wayóeven another goddess born.

But when a captivating young gentleman draws Selah into a world shadowed by secrets, she is forced to confront her darkest fears. What if some differences are too great to overcome and a future with Henry is doomed from the start?

With these doubts threatening her impending marriage and the very last of Brigid's fire draining from her soul, a violent attack on an innocent child pushes Selah to the very edge of her power. She must find a way to cross into the Otherworld and regain her strengthóor forfeit the streets of London to death and disease.

MY THOUGHTS:

Selah and Henry continue their story.  They are now in England, amid the discontented Princess Amelia (Henry's betrothed), most of London and King George...yes even the king is in on it.   

There are much darker forces at work.  An evil is keeping the two apart, this evil is after Selah...
We are introduced to many new characters throughout this book.  I loved most of them. 

Action, intrigue, adventure...this page turner has it all, as well as one incredible cliff hanger. Stay tuned for the third installment. 

If you enjoyed the first book, you will love this one..

ROMA AMOR: A NOVEL OF CALIGULA's ROME by Sherry Christie

Roma Amor: A Novel of Caligula's Rome by Sherry Christie Publication Date: April 15, 2016 Bexley House Books Paperback; 496 Pages Genre: Historical Fiction      READ EXCERPT .  Marcus Carinna hears a voice whisper, "Your turn," as he rides past his family tomb. An unseen presence also startles the Germanic priestess Aurima, whom he is bringing to Rome.
