A Spy in the House by Y. S. Lee (_Zoe_)
_Zoe_: I actually didn't enjoy A Spy in the House nearly as much as Wrapped, but I know others have a high opinion of it, and there are enough similar elements that readers who enjoyed the one should at least be aware of the other.
10
Crocodile on the Sandbank by Elizabeth Peters (_Zoe_)
_Zoe_: Again, strong-willed 19th-century woman meets Egyptological mystery.

Good commentary on the status quo of that era. Nothing new, but at least there's no overplayed romance...
Relies too much on Jane Austen to draw people in though. (

teen fiction; historical romance (London in the Jane Austen era) mummies curse! I only read through the first 50 pages or so, but it seemed promising. (

I thoroughly enjoyed this book! The narration was lovely, the characters interesting, and the plot intriguing. Of course, I'm a sucker for almost anything with a Victorian/Regency setting, and so it was engaging for me right from the start. Fun, fresh, and recommended to YA readers or adults alike. (
