This book begins as a WWII story of two friends who both drive tanks for the Nazi regime. It describes how towns are decimated by both sides. When the town and families of these two are destroyed they are inducted into the Teutonic knights. Only one young daughter survives and she is taken in by a neighbor. This is when things start to get really strange-------
I'm still trying to figure out whether or not I like this book. It is definitely well written and the plot is easy to follow so I will give it a 5. I think perhaps this is a book geared towards men but I could be wrong-I have been before!

I love reading and watching WWII anything. It makes my heart sink and always so intriguing. All the stories are so sad. So I would love to read this!
Strange plot on this one. Thanks for your honest review. It sounds like a very specific genre that you either love or hate.
I will look for this book to give to my FIL for Chriustmas. I think it would like it.
I rarely read ever read PyFy! I always enjoy how you venture into so many different books. I agree that my husband would enjoy this one.
I love books that are easy to follow, and easy to read...I may have to check this out!
My husband loves war movies and books... learning all he can about them. I bet he would love this book!
I love reading books like this even though I'm not a huge war fan, for some reason books about wars or that take place during wars intrigue me.
I'm not a huge war buff - but my husband is! I think he will LOVE this book and I really need to pick him up something for Fathers Day!
This looks like such an interesting read! I can't wait to check it out!
Thanks for the great write up on the book. I need to head to the library soon to check out some new stuff.
This book sounds interesting and I may have to read it. I always loved hearing about my grandfather in the military and that is one of the reasons I had joined the Army. Thanks for the information.
I am not one to really pick up war related books, but I do like that this has a supernatural twist to it. Might be worth a read.
I definitely haven't read this book but it sounds like something my stepson would love. I love the title! Thanks for sharing.
Hmmm...if you're not sure about it, than neither am I LOL
My husband LOVES books that involve war, especialy WW11, so I think this would be perfect for him!
I'm not up for weird or strange when neighbors take people in. Not sure this one would be for me.
Another interesting one and i'm all about the weird and strange.
Sounds like the author know what he's writing about. But I think you're right, it might be a bit too male book for me.
I love reading books. Thanks for you review. Might have to give this book a try! Not what I;m usually into but who knows I might like it!
This sounds like a great read, love stories like this!
My uncle will love this book. His father is a war veteran, and loves all sorts of things related to that.
This sounds like an interesting book a bit out of my comfort zone. I like to change things up a bit from time to time though, so I might check it out.
Perhaps you are right. Many men seem to enjoy this type versus perhaps a chicklit :)
I dnt like war stories, but strangely my brother only read war stories... and his birthday is coming, so this can go in the gift basket, I am trying to make for him. :D
It's funny because I LOVE war movies, but not so much with the books. However, this is one the boyfriend would dig.
sometimes it's interesting to read book about world war however i prefer the real not the fiction
I can't help but to think about Life Is Beautiful and the impact that movie had in my life. Concentration camps were so sad, and to think that some people, including children, in the world are still being mistreated. It breaks my heart!
I like books that incorporate history into them. This would probably be a really fascinating read being that the setting is WWII!
