Opulence. Beauty. Glamour. Decadence.
By Maybelle Law / Spinebreakers Crew
The Luxe depicts New York City 1899 in the midst of society’s elite with the glitz and thrill of devious notes, stolen moments, magnificent dresses, and the corruption at the heart of the aristocratic.
The scandal is calamitous; the plot is thick and the outcomes momentous.
New York City embraces the entwinement of society’s finest families: the Hollands, and the Schoonmakers. However behind closed doors, there is conspiracy, secrets and unrequited love.
The Luxe travels at full speed constantly and every other page is another scandal or secret uncovered. The book is rife with hidden pursuits in the dark corridors away from the lights of the party, forbidden love, and the poor-boy rich-girl situation.
This book ensures you cannot put it down, because ultimately something is uncovered that will affect the general turning of the book’s direction almost every page. The scandal keeps the adrenaline pumping, and the dazzling ball gowns, the alluring but forbidden relationships, and the glittering parties’ grasp the reader’s attention. The Luxe drags you into the story until you can feel the silk, smell the perfumed musk of the ball room and hear the whispers of gossip.
I would recommend this book to any reader who wants to be drawn so deep into the plot and the excitement that they feel as if they are dancing the waltzes themselves.
