Black Roses (Clara Vine series #1) by Jane Thynne

This is one of those series of books that seems to take place during WWII. A lot of people, including myself, seem to be interested in that particular era of history. Maybe it's because there are so many intricate events during that time? Who knows! Even when it's historical fiction, it's still great to read about. This particular series, by British author Jane Thynne, centers around a half German, half English actress named Clara Vine who gets involved with the spy game, spying for British intelligence while working at a Nazi-run studio in Berlin, the very heart of Nazi Germany, called Ufa Studios
Summary
-Berlin, 1933. Half German, half English actress Clara Vine has just stepped foot in Berlin, hoping to make it in the movie industry. Her biggest hope is start working at the famed Ufa Studios, known for making stars out of people like Marlene Dietrich. But fate has other plans. By the purest of chances, Clara ends up befriending Magda Goebbels, Annaliese von Ribbentrop and Emmy Sonneman, whose husbands are members of the German High Command. Hitler now has plans to create a master race, a pure white Aryan race and as a result, Clara is approached by Leo Quinn, who asks her to take a chance and spy for Britain, since she is friends now with the wives of the German High Command
