A review by lyndee_rreadng
Blood Secret by Kathryn Lasky

Jerry hasn't spoken since her mother left her so long ago. It's not that she can't she just chooses not to. Why should she? The nuns tell her that the priests are praying for her mother, but she doubts that she will ever see her mother again. Her mom was just that type of woman, the wandering type. Jerry has to go somewhere though, so she goes to her great aunt Costanza's house. Here, Jerry works to find her voice, her identity, and her past and she finds in the most interesting of places.

I really loved this book. I'm actually taking a Hispanic Civilizations class right now and we are studying the Spanish Inquisition and Cortez and that era, so this book has been extremely interesting to me. The book is much more that the first few chapters let on. I really liked it and I would recommend it to anyone who loves history.
