Streets of Shadow by Rebecca Bischoff
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Kenna is a 15 year old young lady when she finds out that her dear sister, who is more like her mother, has been murdered. When Kenna goes to her Grandfather, the Earl, she is comforted by him, but only briefly. Next thing she knows, she’s being put in a carriage and taken to Stewart’s Close. It’s an alleyway that is in the most extreme poor of communities. She’s also being accused of the murder of her sister. If that’s not enough, Stewart’s Close is under quarantine because of Kenna…she may have brought the plague to them.

Kenna has suddenly gone from a Lady to a beggar. She’s sleeping in the filthiest of places and stealing for food. It’s a battle of survival for her! No one wants anything to do with the “Poisoner” until Donny and his wife decide to take her in…but at a price.

Will Kenna be able to avenge her sister’s death? Will she ever regain her rightful place as a Lady in society? Will she even be able to survive?

This book grabbed me from the get-go! It’s full of adventure and history. There are plot twists at every corner as well! This is my first read by this author but I’ll be looking for more of her work!
