This is one of the best first-person narratives I've ever read.

Tosca weaves a story of such suspenseful twists that I kept looking forward to getting back into the story. I did NOT see the end of this one coming! Excellent! Looking forward to starting Firstborn, book two. (

I just didn't like this story. I thought that it would be akin to historical fiction or rooted in something along those lines but it was more on the magical realism side, based on a historic fact. I think that the protagonist got on my nerves and made the story so far fetched and unbelievable that it turned me off to the mystery. Who erases their mind, then believes some stalker and tries to find out why their mind was erased in the first place, when it will mean people will be hurt? Makes no sense to me... (

I think it mght be a disservice to compare this book with The Da Vinci Code and others of this genre. This book stands on its own from the very first page. I held my breath from the first page to the last and then....... The storyline might be a bit fantastic or maybe not but the author knows how to write a fast moving, sharp, twisty read. Suffice it to say that I will look for the next edition of this series.
Thank you NetGalley for the advance copy. (

This was an on a whim read and I enjoyed it thoroughly. It had intrigue, adventure, not a lot of action but it did keep me on the edge of my seat anticipating what might happen next. It ended with a surprising cliffhanger that now has me wanting to read the next book asap. (

Twist and turn carry you through the mystery surrounding the descendents of the Blood Countess. Each descendent is hunted so they may pay for her crimes. But is she really the one responsible for the serial murders or was she wrongly accused?

Every descendant of Elizabeth Bathory is relentlessly hunted and killed for the sins of their ancestor. Elizabeth, or the Blood Countess, was accused of being a serial killer, but is that just what the real killer wants you to believe? (
