The Write Reads Blog Tour Book Review ~ Aliza in Nazi-Land by Elyse Hoffman

The Holocaust may be over, but for sixteen-year-old Aliza Aumen, the death of Adolf Hitler brings no peace. Adopted by a fellow survivor and given a new life in America, Aliza cannot escape the ghosts of her past: the parents she lost, the memories stolen from her, and the future that was taken from her in Europe. A life of comfort is no solace—she wants revenge.

When an angel offers her a chance for vengeance, Aliza is thrust into a terrifying role as a warden in Hell. Given dominion over the souls of Hitler, Himmler, and other architects of the Holocaust, she now possesses the power to torment them for eternity.

In Hell, Aliza is a god. But as she unleashes her wrath upon the Nazis, she begins to feel the seductive pull of power. The line between her rage-fueled retribution in Hell and her actions in the real world starts to blur.

Is Aliza, a young girl consumed by vengeance, ready to wield such godlike power? And what will it cost her to wield it?

Holy crap. How do I review this without giving anything away? 

I love the writing. As I have for all of the books in this series. The characters though? Well, they make me mad. No, furious. Not all the characters, just two of the main ones. Ok, let’s just say this book drew out many emotions in me and I end up, at the last page, just… gah! How dare the author do this to me?! *grabs hair with both hands but does not tear out because ow* Now I’m standing here with my arms folded and a scowl on my face waiting for the next book to come out so I can see what the hell just happened. If you like Historical Fiction then this entire series is one you can really sink your teeth into.

Apologies for this being so late past the tour. Real life can be so rude.
