This week I'm featuring Romanov by Nadine Brandes releasing May 7, 2019.
About the Book
From the author of Fawkes comes a magical take on the story of Anastasia Romanov.
The history books say I died.
They don’t know the half of it.
Anastasia “Nastya” Romanov was given a single mission: to smuggle an ancient spell into her suitcase on her way to exile in Siberia. It might be her family’s only salvation. But the leader of the Bolshevik army is after them . . . and he’s hunted Romanov before.
Nastya’s only chances of survival are to either release the spell, and deal with the consequences, or enlist help from Zash, the handsome soldier who doesn’t act like the average Bolshevik. Nastya’s never dabbled in magic before, but it doesn’t frighten her as much as her growing attraction for Zash. She likes him. She thinks he might even like her . . .
That is, until she’s on one side of a firing squad . . . and he’s on the other.

Why I Need It
I've loved every Nadine Brandes book I've read and am excited that she's got another historical fantasy coming out soon. It should be a really interesting take on the Romanovs.
What upcoming release are you excited about?
OHMYGOSH! I haven't read any of Nadine's books (though I do plan to remedy this), but this one is HIGH on my must-read 2019 list. I've been enchanted with Anastasia since childhood, so yeah... I'm curious!! Hope you enjoy, Ashley. :)
