About the book:
1865--Marietta
Hughes never wanted to be a spy, but the family legacy of espionage is
thrust upon her as the War Between the States rolls on. Unknown to her,
the Knights of the Golden Circle--a Confederate secret society bent on
destroying the Union her brother died for--has been meeting in a hidden
lair beneath her home. Faced with the secrets of her late husband and
his brother, whom she thought she could trust with anything, Marietta's
world tilts out of control. Can she right it by protecting a Union agent
infiltrating the KGC?
Slade Osborne, an undercover
Pinkerton agent, is determined to do whatever is necessary to end the
conflict between the North and the South. When he infiltrates this
secret cell, it isn't just their inner workings that baffle him--it's
the beautiful woman who seems to be a puppet for the new leader and
yet...so much more.
Do they dare trust each other in
this circle of intrigue? Will their shared faith sustain them? And can
Mari and Slade stymie the enemy long enough to see their beloved country
reunited?

My thoughts:
The Culper Ring series has been a great historical/spy series and Circle of Spies was a wonderful conclusion. I loved the thread of redemption and forgiveness in the story.
Marietta was definitely one of those characters that goes through a lot of change. At the beginning of Circle of Spies she wasn't that likeable, but she does get better. Her unique ability (which I won't name, since it's not mentioned in the book's blurb) was so intriguing!
I absolutely loved that Slade was an undercover Pinkerton agent! I always enjoy books with those types of agents. :) There were also quite a few humorous moments, which was great!
Overall, a wonderful historical read with romance AND suspense! I definitely recommend Circle of Spies and this entire series.
