A Song Unheard by Roseanna M. White (book 2 in the Shadows Over England series)

Roseanna M. White has released her newest book in the Shadows Over England series. A Song Unheard is the second book in the series and tells the story of Rosemary's sister, Willa Forsythe. You can find my review of the first book in this series, A Name Unknown, by clicking here.
Willa's story picks up with Mr. V where Rosemary left off. Mr. V has another daring mission that will need Willa's expertise, but will Willa be able to complete her mission?

From the Back Cover:
Willa Forsythe is both a violin prodigy and top-notch thief, which makes her the perfect choice for a critical task at the outset of World War I--to secure a crucial cypher key from a famous violinist currently in Wales.
Lukas De Wilde has enjoyed the life of fame he's won--until now, when being recognized nearly gets him killed. Everyone wants the key to his father's work as a cryptologist. And Lukas fears that his mother and sister, who have vanished in the wake of the German invasion of Belgium, will pay the price. The only distraction he finds from his worry is in meeting the intriguing and talented Willa Forsythe.
But danger presses in from every side, and Willa knows what Lukas doesn't--that she must betray him and find that key, or her own family could pay the same price his surely has.

My Thoughts:
I really enjoyed Willa's story. I majored in Piano Pedagogy in college, so the addition of music to this story was fun for me. The story is fast-paced and will take you on a thrilling ride from covert missions, to romance, to betrayal, this story has it all. I think the author did a fabulous job in writing Willa's character. She is a puzzle that makes the story interesting. You never know what she will do or what she is capable of. Willa's character goes through much change in this book as she contemplates questions she's never had to face before. Can a thief turn good? Does being a thief define who she is for the rest of her life? In order to find out the answer to those questions, pick up your own copy of A Song Unheard and find out how Willa's story ends! And make sure to keep an eye out for book 3, An Hour Unspent, which will tell the story of Barclay Pearce. This book will be released, September 4, 2018.

My Rating: ★★★★★
