Streets of Shadow by Rebecca Bischoff – Review by Tia Martel

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

The year: 1665.

The problem: 15 year old Kenna has watched her sister die. She suspects her sister’s husband and thinks if she stays, she’ll be next.

So she runs. During her escape she is kidnapped and locked in at Stewart’s Close, an alley trapped in the poorest section of the city and there’s only one way out.

She’s accused of leaving a home struck by the plague and a guard is set at the gate to make sure no one enters, and no one leaves. Kenna wants nothing but to avenge her sister, if she can survive.

I found this book to be well written, however, it wasn’t my usual style of a read so I wasn’t fully involved in the story. I enjoyed Kenna’s determination and love she has for her sister. I think she’s a well done character with a heartbreaking story. You definitely find yourself rooting for Kenna and the misfit band she gathers along the way.
