The Nested Charmer: A Matryoshka's Hidden Legacy by JM Broyles is a thrilling novel that takes readers on a journey through time and across continents. Audrey is a young girl living with her alcoholic mother in the United States. She is chosen as the Keeper of an old matryoshka, a powerful Russian doll. The story begins during the Russian Revolution in 1917 when fortune hunters disguised as revolutionaries hunt for the matryoshka and its owner, and a similar fate awaits Audrey.

The prologue sets the stage for the story and builds suspense right from the start. The author has done an excellent job of maintaining an air of mystery throughout the book, only revealing the secret at the end in the intense climax. The author's vivid descriptions of the characters, events, and settings make it easy for readers to picture the action. The characters are well-developed, especially the protagonist, whose entire life is laid bare for the reader in an engaging and relatable way. All the characters are given balanced exposure, which adds depth to the plot. The Nested Charmer: A Matryoshka's Hidden Legacy by JM Broyles is a well-written book that will keep readers engaged from the first page. It is a perfect blend of history and fiction, aided by the author's evocative writing and the emotional twists, making it a must-read for anyone who loves a good mystery.
