Perfect

This is the type of book that you read on a rainy day. You wont be able to put it down, it is very well written with twists and turns that keep you guessing. You will laugh and maybe even cry with this perfect story A must read about the Civil War.

A great book!

I've read all of Ms. Stahls adult books and liked them for their creativity but frankly some were very poorly written. This one is the best of her books, very rich and unique. She develops the characters very well and there are so many secondary charaters that add to the overall storyline. It is about a girl that is indentured to a cruel Uncle but it is very UNpredictable. If you just like an interesting book (and a nice romance) don't miss this one!

childhood memories

I have been reading the Covenant since i was 10 years old. I absolutly love it. Each time i read it (and i have it memorized by now) it sends me through an emotional wirlwind. Between my neighboor and myself the book is now falling apart and my dad is searching for a place to rebind it! If you have some time on your hands, definitly pick up this book, i garentee you won't be able to put it down.

totally surprising!!!!!

This book really surprised me because, quite frankly, I didn't expect it to be that good. I figured I'd just spend a day or two keeping my mind occupied,I didn't think that the book would be so good the I wouldn't be able to put it down. Stahl paints a colorful picture for her readers equipped with just enough detail to make her story interesting without it being over the top. If you ever find yourself with a full evening and nothing to do, pick up The Covenant and see how far you get before you angrily find that you are too exhausted to read another word.
