Upcoming Book Review: Mistress of Rome by Kate Quinn

This book is AMAZING!!! Yes, I did just sing that. At the top of my lungs, because wow. This book is now a cherished part of my most treasured books on my bookshelves. Anyway, I can't wait to post the review and get the word out to everyone that they need to read this book.

Excerpt from the book:

First Century Rome: A world of depravity, blood, and secrets. The ruthless and enigmatic Emperor Domitian watches over all, fearing assassination from every direction...but not from the woman who fascinates him the most.
Passionate, musical, and guarded, Thea is a slave girl from Judea. Purchased as a toy for the spiteful heiress Lepida Pollia, Thea becomes her mistress's rival for the love of Arius the Barbarian. Rome's newest and most savage gladiator. His love brings Thea the first happiness of her life-but their affiar ends quickly when a jealous Lepida tears them apart.
As Lepida goes on the wreak havoc in the life of a new husband and his family, Thea remakes herself as a polished singer for Rome's aristocrats. Unwittingly, she attracts another adirer in the capricious and charismatic Emperor of Rome. But Domitian's games have a darker side, and Thea finds herself fighting for both soul and sanity. Many have tried to destroy the Emperor: a vengeful gladiator, an upright senator, a tormented soldier, a streetwise child, a Vestal Virgin. But int he end, the life of the brilliant and paranoid Domitian lies in the hands of one woman: The Emperor's mistress.
