Goodreads synopsis:
“Princess Jehosheba wants nothing more than to please the harsh and demanding Queen Athaliah, daughter of the notorious Queen Jezebel. Her work as a priestess in the temple of Baal seems to do the trick. But when a mysterious letter from the dead prophet Elijah predicts doom for the royal household, Jehosheba realizes that the dark arts she practices reach beyond the realm of earthly governments. To further Athaliah and Jezebel’s strategies, she is forced to marry Yahweh’s high priest and enters the unfamiliar world of Yahweh’s temple. Can her new husband show her the truth and love she craves? And can Jehosheba overcome her fear and save the family–and the nation–she loves?”
My review:
Mesu Andrews is definitely an amazing writer. She knows how to take biblical stories and turn it into a great fiction story. I loved reading about Princess Jehosheba and her family members. Someone asked me about the title and why would I want to read about Jezebel. The story of Jezebel is in the Bible so why not read about it. I have to confess about one thing. This book had a lot of names that started with J and the writing was a little more advanced than I normally read. Put these together and confusion sets in. I had to read this book a lot slower than most books. This is why I gave the book a 4 out of 5 stars.
I received this book in exchange for my honest review from Revell Reads.
