This book is an indulgence for me. It's having toasted muffins with butter and peanut butter and a big mug of tea at ten o'clock at night. It's really an adult version of Twilight and just as compelling for me to read as Twilight is for a 16 year old girl. The first two books of what will no doubt be at least the Assassini Trilogy are set in 15th century Venice with all the mystique and intrigue that the true historical period holds with Krieghund (werewolves) and the Fallen (vampires) thrown in. Add a tortuously complicated love affair between the main character and the heiress to Venice and you have a Romance mixed with some good action all underpinned by Mr Grimwood's excellent writing skills. Please start at the beginning of the series for a more full enjoyment of the books and whenever you see one of Mr Grimwood's books be sure to grab a copy. They are not all these books and some will challenge you due to his sometimes sparse drawing of characters and opaque plot lines but I have found them all compelling and some to be absolutely stunning, particularly his earlier books.3 s Denise6,796 124

I enjoyed my return to this dark fantasy version of renaissance era Venice more than the first outing. The story felt more coherent and I had a better sense of the characters, which made it easier to get sucked into this world of violent passions and passionate violence. Looks I need to go buy the third part after all.own read-20211 Sidsel SanderAuthor 13 books60
