Review

"A Drop of Night" by Stefan Bachmann is a book that makes you feel like you're watching a thriller movie. It is very fast-paced and keeps you interested. The book switches between the viewpoints of a noble-born girl in France during the French Revolution, and a seventeen-year-old girl who has been selected (along with four other teens) for the archaeological exploration of an underground French palace. Needless to say, things go wrong and the teens find themselves being hunted down within the palace. The story felt very unique and would appeal to fans of "The Maze Runner." Unfortunately, while the book kept my attention, at the end I had several questions that remained unanswered. Not a must buy. ~Reviewed by Kate Radke
