New York Times and USA Today Bestselling author Nicole Blanchard has written a Skeleton Key novella. Included is an odd yet exhilarating mix of love and hate, loyalty and betrayal, life and death. The title suggests a story about robots or Artificial Intelligence of some kind. The concepts were well defined, the language clear and very convincing. The author’s imagination seemingly having no limits, the ideas developed. When Caroline Abernathy finds the skeleton key, she’s thrown into an unknown and dangerous world ultimately meeting Ezra Castle. As they find themselves reluctantly relying on each other for survival, they start to develop tender feelings. The storyline, though a bit predictable, did have a twist at the end that may surprise you. I enjoyed this novella and recommend it to all Fantasy fans. This is one of 26 books in the Skeleton Key Book Series. Do yourself a favor and pick up this read, you won’t regret it. This ARC was gifted to me in exchange for an honest review. ( )
