Really enjoyed this book! Finally a Twilight-esque love story for grown-ups. I was imediately drawn into a world of books magical and otherwise. Diana Bishop's world of alchemy and history was interesting and intelligent, her love affair with the gorgeous and devoted Matthew Clairmont made for a "can't-put-it-down" read.
I was unaware when I started this book that it was the begining of a trioloy. I was both happy and dismayed. I was thrilled to get two more oppertunities at living in Diana and Matthew's world. Dismayed because it will be a year before the next book is ready!
It was a bit long and drawn out at times I do feel like it could have been a bit more ruthlessly edited. Although I do love the love story and the characters were very interesting and different. While the love story was Twilight-esque the vampires were not. They were definately not sparkley, even Matthew was deadly and made no excuses about it.
Read it, Love it and feel good about getting a bit of an education while doing it! Can't wait until the next installment!
