OK so this book really blew me away. I think after a long time I picked up a book (recommended by my friend Poonam) that I thoroughly enjoyed. This is probably my first alternate history novel (I don't think 1984 counts.. does it????) and it's a scary thought. What if Hitler had won World War II!! The book doesn't focus too much on the atrocities that were perpetrated by the Nazis on the Jews. I think it assumes that you know enough to be horrified from the start but I wish they had focused on it a bit just to give that extra fire to Yael's character. So the book is about a race, the Axis Tour, where 20 people race to be crowned Victor and bring pride to their countries. Yael of course has her own objectives and it is an engrossing read from the start to the finish. I found it really hard to keep the book down and I can't wait for Blood For Blood 
 (view spoiler)[ I found Felixe very whinny even though I know he's trying to protect his sister who Yael is impersonating. Luka was a treat to read and I loved the chemistry. A lot of Adele and Luka's back story is answered in Iron to Iron so do pick that up. The ending was a surprise and probably makes sense now when Hitler's preference for blondes was mentioned.
