#BookReview: Gone by Nightfall by @deegarretson

Synopsis: A young woman is torn between her home and her dreams during the Russian Revolution.

It’s 1917, and Charlotte Mason is determined to make a life for herself in czarist Russia.

 When her mother dies, Charlotte is forced to put her plans to go to medical school aside to care for her unruly siblings. Then a handsome new tutor arrives. 

Charlotte has high hopes that he’ll stay, freeing her up to follow her dreams of becoming a doctor. But there’s more to Dmitri that meets the eye.

Just when she thinks she can get her life back, Russia descends into revolution and chaos. 

Now, not only does Charlotte need to leave Russia, she needs to get her siblings out too--and fast.

Can Charlotte flee Russia, keep her siblings safe, and uncover Dmitri’s many secrets before she runs out of time?

Rating: ★★★★★
My Review: This was an amazing look at the life of one teen trying to keep afloat a hospital her mother made, her siblings, and step-father.  All while keeping everyone out of the clutches of the secret police.  I had an amazing time reading this one and can not wait to see what else this author has in store for readers.  This was a great stand alone but I could see the author coming back and doing another companion novel.  I loved the characters and the story and just the fast pacing of the story.  If you are looking for a new historical title to dive into look no further than this one right here. 

Go Into This One Knowing: Russia 

Praise for All is Fair:

"Amid spy intrigue, coded messages, fairly improbable escapes, a budding romance, and bold derring-do, our quick-thinking, thoroughly engaging protagonist triumphs and the plot never slows. Garretson reaches beyond adventure, too, providing a haunting nuance to the horrors of war through her heroine’s eyes. ... An action-packed, yet sobering journey into the war to end all wars." 
―Booklist

"This is the sort of book you want to hide in your closet and read so that no one disturbs you until you're completely finished." 
―Samantha Hastings, author of The Last Word
