I have to say that I was first intrigued by the plot synopsis of Regency and Regicide by JJ Fischer. Who wouldn’t be interested in a story about an author who unknowingly plunges herself into the world she created? This book did not disappoint.

Its innovative storyline and wonderful characters pulled me in from the opening. Fischer creates a superb underlying romantic tension that vibrates throughout the plot, adding page-turning pulses while not distracting from the overall Robin Hood-type adventure.

I enjoyed the subtle author humor sprinkled in the text as the main character navigates her inner secrets while delving deeper into the world she created. My heart went out to Diana as she faced her insecurities unique to an author sharing their work.

This book was well-written, captivating, and perfectly paced. I found the characters Diana and Nash to be extremely relatable and also frustratingly stubborn. They engaged in spirited discussions, dissecting the qualities of a good protagonist, their opinions clashing as they argued about the story’s true hero. With toe-curling plot twists, this is a hard-to-put-down book. I am so glad to have read this story. Looking forward to more by JJ Fischer.
