Forbidden romances. Unexpected dangers. Anthropomorphized human conditions. Throw in a little jazz music and you've got the recipe for The Game of Love and Death. 
 We start the story with a great set-up for massive drama, and then the drama keeps ratcheting up throughout the book. Hidden disabilities, illicit love affairs, amnesia, Prohibition, and WWII looming over the horizon... with a mix like this, the reader can't help but feel some serious tension. 
 I highly recommend this one! Full review to be posted on my blog closer to pub date.
