the Mark of the King by Jocelyn Green

With the gorgeous cover I was utterly excited to read the latest from historical fiction writer Jocelyn Green especially since it was about a little read on time in history, the early settling of  New Orleans.
This book started off with such great promise but for me anyways it really did not live up to what I was hoping. The historical detail was top notch but the story line was a
 bit too depressing for my taste as it seemed like one bad thing after another happened which got a bit old.
It wasn;'t terrible I just feel this book didn't live up to all that it could have been.
I received a copy of this book in exhange for my honest opinion.
