Leveraging Lincoln A Civil War Novel The Liberator Series Book 1 eBook Stephenia H McGee

The Civil War. Lincoln. Conspiracy. Annabelle Ross, beautiful Southern girl with Unionist leanings and her friend Peggy (former slave) get caught up with a group of men planning to kidnap the President of the United States. Matthew Daniels, soldier in the Confederate Army along with his brother George (who ends up captured by the Yanks). Matthew will do anything to secure his brother's freedom. Even desert. Even get involved in a plot he doesn't understand. There's romance, but it's not the romance which drives the story. Don't start reading this book until you have a block of time because once you start, you won't want to stop. Right now I'm counting the days to the release of book 2 in Summer 2016. While you wait, read Stephenia Magees previously published novels. You can't go wrong reading this gifted author's books.

Leveraging Lincoln
(Liberator series, Book #1)
By Stephenia H. McGee

If you're after realistic historical fiction in the Civil War era,
put Stephenia McGee's Liberator series on your wishlist!

With a colorful cast of characters and multiple plots going, you won't want to stop after reading the first book.

....and in a few moments Annabelle found herself trailing a group of soldiers, who were more likely to be spies, into a cold morning
and down the road that would lead her ever farther from home.
e-book version, page 203

...."I don't like the looks of what's goin' on here.
Something's up with this whole thing.
They's plannin' somethin'.
I just know it."
Peggy
E-book version, page 257

Annabelle is strong, stubborn, and a challenge to men.
Peggy is the nosy friend who always knows how to get to the truth (and a lousy horseback rider).
Matthew is a soldier who will fight for those he loves ... even if he is branded a traitor and deserter to do it.
Other characters fall in the "love to hate" category,
such as "Grandfather" and O'Malley.
From a plantation used as a field hospital to battle to the 2nd inauguration of Lincoln,
each plays a part in the future of a country that hangs on a thread....

I'm looking forward to reading the other two books in this series!
I love history. I studied it in college. Civil War history is some of my favorite. Having lived in areas a lot of Civil War battles happened in and visited many historic places I love to read books about them. I didn’t know what to expect from a book about such a famous figure as Abraham Lincoln. I was pleasantly surprised with this book. I actually bought the other two from the series when I finished this one.
The story is about a young woman, Annabelle Ross, who finds herself way in over her head. She accidentally gets involved with conspirators plotting to kidnap the president. The whole scenario seems crazy, but the way she accidentally stumbled into such a mess intrigued me. When she gets in trouble she finds herself “rescued” by Matthew Daniels a Confederate officer.
She herself is a Southerner, but she has abolitionist tendencies. She has a terrible home situation due to the war and greedy relatives. She is trying to escape an arranged marriage when she finds herself traveling across state lines and into the North with a band of deserters gunning for the president. I love all the trouble she gets into. She lies and all kinds of things digging herself deeper into messes, but she has what she feels is best in mind as she does this. She tries so hard to do the right thing but finds it to be difficult at best.
This book series had me googling different events mentioned and plots against Lincoln to learn more about the truth behind the fiction. The story has a lot of truth to it even though Annabelle and her involvement are fictional. I particularly love the quotes from John Surratt's​ journals at the start of each chapter.

I bought this book full price for my reading pleasure.
"To get your brother back, you need leverage."

Captain Matthew Daniels never imagined that the kind of leverage he was being offered, in order to find his imprisoned brother George, was the kind that could cost him his life and misrepresent him as a traitor to the Confederacy. How could he have gotten himself mixed up in such a scheme? Not only that, a beautiful young woman, a "Miss Smith", has unknowingly gotten herself involved as well, serving as a messenger in a dangerous game of coded missives. The blond spitfire seems to straddling both sides of the same fence, what Daniels wants to know is, just what does she have in mind?

Annabelle Ross is desperate to escape her step-grandfather's nefarious plans for an arranged marriage to his despicable son, ultimately confiscating her inheritance, and ruining Annabelle's chances for the kind of future that her father wanted her to have. Already their once beautiful Mississippi plantation had been mercilessly plundered by Union troops, and more recently served as a makeshift hospital for the wounded on both sides of the nation's bloody civil war. Her only hope arrives in the form of a delivery, hopefully sending her closer to her true uncle who can save her from the clutches of an unwanted suitor. How could she have known the cyclone of events that would ensue or that a face from her past would continually resurface?

"Leveraging Lincoln" is really quite fascinating, as the author skillfully weaves a complicated web of conspiracy in and out of history, with both fictional and actual characters intersecting beautifully in a tale that could easily be believable. What a great story, . . . . which has only just begun.
