Myths, magic, and...Marilyn?
A strange magic.
A beloved woman dies, and the crimson diary appears. Over and over again throughout time. What mysterious magic do its pages hold? Its glowing red cover should serve as a warning. The peculiar red iridescence is ignored when so much good fortune befalls those who open it and read its words.
And it chooses her.
An overlooked librarian.
When shy librarian Kacey Wiltson finds an ancient red diary on a shelf, she doesn’t hesitate to open it and read its entries. Stories of influential women throughout history unfold, and her own life transforms in ways she couldn't have imagined. Soon, Kacey becomes the newest object of America’s affection as her fame soars with her association with a dashing director and a starring role in a highly anticipated movie about King Arthur and Guinevere. Everywhere Kacey turns, people shower her with adoration, or even cross the line into obsession, and she knows it’s the book’s influence. All the newfound attention is exhilarating.
But at what cost?
A ruthless seer.
Sibyl has tirelessly pursued the crimson diary through the ages, witnessing the havoc it wreaks upon countless women’s lives and playing her part in ensuring the demise of each Keeper. Sibyl has her own special powers and lifetimes of experience and wisdom. Yet, the diary keeps evading her, and it’s cost her everything time and again. She won’t stop until the precious enchanted book is back in her hands where it belongs.
Come hell or high water.
With intriguing suspense, bewitching characters, and a unique conception of myths and magic in the modern world, The Crimson Diary is a spellbinding contemporary fantasy thriller about the cost of magic and fame and about the redemptive power of love.
Review:
This Book remind me kind of a freaky Friday kind of aspect. We have a librarian who basically is forgotten by all those she interacts with . When she finds a mysterious book her whole world is turned upside down and things that would never happen to her like being a model or in a movie are happening left and right. The time jumps as we learn the back story of one of the characters were a bit boring and i found myself wanting to quickly get back to Kacey and see what else was gonna happen while she had this book.
