{Review} Maid of Secrets @Jenn_McGowan

Seventeen-year-old Meg Fellowes is a wry, resourceful thief forced to join an elite group of female spies in Queen Elizabeth’s Court. There she must solve a murder, save the Crown, and resist the one thing that will become her greatest freedom–and her deadliest peril. 

For Meg and her fellow spies are not alone in their pursuit of the murderer who stalks Windsor Castle.

A young, mysterious Spanish courtier, Count Rafe de Martine, appears at every turn in the dark and scandal-filled corridors of the Queen’s summer palace. And though secrets and danger are Meg’s stock-in-trade, she’s never bargained on falling in love…

I was over joyed when I received this in the mail from Night Owl Reviews. Because not only was it something that I really wanted to read.  But it came as a finished copy which just made me even happier!  However the happy stopped there.  I started reading this and finished it in about a day or so.  But I had some real issues with this book.  From the author describing everything every few minutes to things just tending to drag on and on.  It is not what I would consider a fast paced book.  I really loved Meg and understood her thoughts on marriage etc.  She really seemed like she was a character in that time frame.  So bravo to the author!  I loved that the author used the time frame of Queen Elizabeth court and loved the idea of her having her own persmaidonal spies!  I really hope that book two does not end up in a love triangle!  So although it isnt a must read for me this year!  I would recommend this one to those who love spies, mysteries, and the time setting!
