Summery:
Colette Iselin is
excited to go to Paris on a class trip. She’ll get to soak up the beauty
and culture, and maybe even learn something about her family’s French
roots.
But a series of gruesome murders are taking place across the city, putting everyone on edge. And as she tours museums and palaces, Colette keeps seeing a strange vision: a pale woman in a ball gown and powdered wig, who looks suspiciously like Marie Antoinette.
Colette knows her popular, status-obsessed friends won’t believe her, so she seeks out the help of a charming French boy. Together, they uncover a shocking secret involving a dark, hidden history. When Colette realizes she herself may hold the key to the mystery, her own life is suddenly in danger . . .
Acclaimed author Katie Alender brings heart-stopping suspense to this story of revenge, betrayal, intrigue — and one killer queen.

What's not to potentially love about this book? It's sounds terribly amazing. As in it sounds possibly as terrible as it sounds amazing! It's sure to be super campy from the name, to the cover to the summery. Basically, I can't wait to get my hands on this one!
What are you waiting for this week? I wanna know!

There's absolutely nothing wrong with a campy novel and this one certainly sounds campy in the delicious "could be horrible but is actually wonderful" sort of way. Thank you for sharing!
