8 posts | 7 read | 1 reading | 5 to read
A boy arrives at a remote village in the dead of night. His name is Ludlow Fitchand he is running from a most terrible past. What he is about to learn is that in this village is the life he has dreamed ofa safe place to live, and a job, as the assistant to a mysterious pawnbroker who trades people's deepest, darkest secrets for cash. Ludlow's job is to neatly transcribe the confessions in an ancient leather-bound tome: The Black Book of Secrets. Ludlow yearns to trust his mentor, who refuses to disclose any information on his past experiences or future intentions. What the pawnbroker does not know is, in a town brimming with secrets, the most troubling may be held by his new apprentice.

Such a great book! It was addicting, a bit mind blowing, and wonderfully written. I'm so infatuated with the characters, can't wait to pick up the next one!! 4.25/5

This book is doing a great job of showing us greed. Kindness and compassion are rarely taken for what they are. Instead there's this expectation that by showing said kindness, there's a given that you're taking responsibility for the well-being of that person. When you don't act accordingly, you're shown blame and hatred for their pre-existing misery, no matter how self-inflicted it is. Human greed & selfishness at its worst.

I apologise for being so inactive on here this past week. I've been focusing more on bloggging, but I'm back & better balancing it all. 🙂 I'm almost finished with this book & there's much I love about it! The notion that luck is a choice & experiences help shape fate, but fate is inevitably in your own hands. Also, this book is very dark & twisted, esp. for middle-grade; so AWESOME!!

Borrowed this from Sir BF today. I felt like reading something fast-paced & relatively short. When he rec'd this, I figured why not. It definitely hooks you like a hungry fish from the 1st chapter! A young boy escapes a terrible torture before it's too late & flees for his life! It's a Victorian, middle-grade book that I suspect will have some sort of dark magic elements!
