The Parisians by Marius Gaberiel

This book wasn't my typical historical fiction, World War II resistance fighters sort of story. This book was for sure considered a slow burning book. I spent so much time while reading this book, wondering when things are going to get a little more spicy. I was unfortunately a little disappointed with the results. With that being said though I still managed to get my way through the book (took a little longer than expected),but I also never experienced a moment while I was reading this book where I had to talk myself out of quitting reading this one and move on.

I consumed this book way too quickly for my own good, I rated this book 4/5 on my goodreads account. Some of the twists and turns I feel were a little obvious. By no means does that mean that I saw all of them coming. There were certainly times where I had to put the book down for a minute to attempt to p...
