by J.S. Hope
Goodreads blurb: From New York Times and USA Today bestseller
J.S. Hope comes a brand new five-part tale of passion and intrigue!
Reporter Alessandra "Alex" Donati is in Venice chasing the story of her career. While the city prepares for the Christmas festivities, Alex is hot on the trail of a group that celebrates a much older - and much darker - festival, one that offers sex and sacrifice in exchange for power and wealth.

My Thoughts - 4 out of 5
Unicorns - I really liked it!!!
***Received a copy of the ebook for
an honest review, but I already owned this one :)
The
cover is very steamy with a Alessandra sandwich, but it also has Venice and the
moon in the background. I like it :)
Okay
things you need to know, this is a serial with five parts. This means that they are pieces to the whole,
and you shouldn’t expect a whole story.
It is like a TV series, so while there is some closure with each episode
expect yourself to be screaming at where the part you read ends. Something else important, this serial is not
complete at this time. Only the first
two parts are currently out, but I believe everything will be published by
March. The good news is Part One is free :)
This is also for adults only because there is a very steamy scene
not meant for kids.
Now
onto the story, WOW not what I expected at all!
This book surprised me big time!!
When I started reading, you got Alessandra’s background and the buildup
of the setting. Mind you these are the
parts while necessary, I usually find kind of boring. Then she gets to Italy and BAM, the story
takes off and leaves me in the dust thinking what just happened. I got sucked into the story, and there was so
much going on that I can’t tell you because it would ruin it for you. I definitely have some questions rolling
around my head that I want answered about some characters. This is not one of those stories where
everyone lives happily ever after, so be forewarned.
Okay
when I looked up the author bio, I realize this is written by two writers
writing as one. Wow, I couldn’t tell any
difference in reading that it is being done by two authors. They are writing together pretty seamlessly. I loved the details in the writing, and how
easily they pulled me in.
I
recommend this book to readers who like serials that are hmmm…I guess the best
description is paranormal mysteries who don’t mind not being able to see
everything coming or what is happening….very intriguing :) I can’t wait to read the next one :)
Interested in reading???
