Bury the Living by Jodi McIsaac

4.0

While this book started slow for me and I initially found it hard to like Nora, when it got into the main story set back in the 1920s Irish Civil War, I felt like both Nora and the story found its purpose. The mix of historical fact, intrigue and spying with fantasy/fairy tale elements really worked for me as did the friendships Nora formed with the Gillies women. If you are a fan of romance novels, you will not find a lot here as the women's friendship seemed to be more of a highlight but that is a choice I prefer anyway. The ending was a little unsatisfying as it left loose ends that do not seem like they will be resolved even in the next book although the setup for the next book does sound interesting. All in all a solid 3.5 that is a fun, quick read with some interesting Irish history and folklore.
