Rome, 1942.
Cordelia Olivieri is a young, determined hotel owner desperate to escape Mussolini’s racial persecution. But as Fascist leaders gather in Rome, Cordelia is suddenly surrounded by the world’s most ruthless and powerful commanders.
In an effort to keep her Jewish heritage a secret and secure safe passage out of Italy, Cordelia forms a dangerous alliance with the British army who want to push the Axis out of North Africa once and for all.
Going undercover, Cordelia begins obtaining and leaking military intelligence to a British agent, hoping the intel will secure her freedom. But the more Cordelia uncovers, the greater the risks – especially for one handsome German Afrika Korps officer.

I have to say I do enjoy a good historical fiction especially about WWII. WWII is such an interesting part of history for me and I just loved this. The writing was rich and well developed and you can clearly see that Christina Loggia had done their research. The cover really fits the book as well and I really liked the narration style. The book was also split up in parts which helped move the story along.

Just as she’s on the verge of leaving Rome to head to safety, Cordelia Olivieri finds herself caught up in a power game that she has no option but to play. Momentous events of the second world war are made up of thousands of smaller stories, like that of Cordelia, that have an enormous impact on the world’s fortunes.
Lucifer’s Game is a really engaging thriller that presents a series of intertwining stories in an adept way that builds tension throughout. It is very well researched and the places really come to life. I loved reading about Rome during this period. You feel like you are on this journey with Cordelia as she is betrayed, loved, threatened, imprisoned, and more. Strong recommend.

I've read many WWII fiction, but I don't think I've read one that Involved spy's and a spy ring. I enjoyed this fast paced spy novel set during one of my favorite historical fiction time periods. I also loved that it got me out of my comfort zone for the genre.

I loved this fascinating book. Another one set in WW2 but this time it dealt with spies which made it very exciting and an “edge of your seat “ thriller. I found it so compelling I couldn’t put it down. Highly recommended. My thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for giving me the opportunity to read this book in return for an honest review.
