The story is set in Germany and is based mostly around one character , a young woman called Ella , Ella lives with her aunt who is a firm Nazi follower but Ella does not feel the same as her aunt and this makes her life more difficult and a lot more dangerous at a time when neighbor could turn against neighbor and it was hard to know who to trust . When Ella’s friend finds herself in a terrifically dangerous position Ella plots to help her but to what cost ...
The story is an emotional rollercoaster in all the right ways , Ella has a sensible head on her shoulders but the risks she took were nail biting , I had to admire her bravery and those like her trying to help others at a harrowing time in history . The book did have me reaching for the tissues as some of the details of the crimes were gut wrenching but this was a book to savor and take my time with as the characters made a lasting impression on me and the historical details felt accurate and well researched . This was an awesome book and I can’t wait to see what this author writes next . Loved it !
I received this book in exchange for an honest review .

About the book
What would you risk to save your best-friend?
As a young girl, Ella never considered that those around her weren’t as they appeared. But when her childhood best-friend shows Ella that you can’t always believe what you see, Ella finds herself thrown into the world of the German Resistance.
On a dark night in 1941, Claudia is taken by the Gestapo, likely never to be seen again, unless Ella can save her. With the help of the man she loves, Ella must undertake her most dangerous mission yet and infiltrate the Nazi Party.
Selling secrets isn’t an easy job. In order to find Claudia, Ella must risk not only her life, but the lives of those she cares about.
Will Ella be able to leave behind the girl of her youth and step into the shoes of another?
Perfect for fans of The Tattooist of Auschwitz, The German Midwifeand Kate Furnivall.
