This was a pretty good horror read - reminded me a little bit of the movie franchise "Scream" as the characters in this book get murdered in horrific ways. It is your typical hack/slash horror book. Four star read on this one.
I won this book in a Goodreads First Reads giveaway, otherwise I would have put it down after the first few chapters. I think the author must have had a thesaurus by his side as he came up with words like "viridian" and "rubiginous" in the first two pages alone. The characters are one-dimensional; for example, John is EEEVILLL, and Richard is Valiant. I also was annoyed by the abrupt end to the story. There seemed to be no resolution to the conflict.
This was in between a “Meh” and an “It’s okay”. These are the thoughts I wrote while reading the first 3/4 of the story:
Story Jumps around too much. Having a hard time connecting emotionally at all. I’m seeing nothing in my mind outside of the words I am forcing myself to read.
Here are my thoughts on the last 1/4 of the story:
FINALLY! I’m finding some interest in the story. Still reads disconnected but there is enough going on that it’s got me feeling I can complete the story. Feeling some anger that the people I want to see live are dying. It at least got some feeling out of me.
I was so hopeful when reading the book’s description. Love this time period, love the Plantagenet’s. This book has a sequel but I’m not sure I want to spend the time reading it. I have noticed others really enjoyed this and have given 4 and 5 star reviews so please don’t let my feelings sway you to try it if you love Medieval Historical Fiction.
The sequel to this book is ‘The Lion Unleashed’.

Twists and turns throughout this book as it throws you right into the story in the first chapter and keeps you in suspense till the end. College campus life is not all what it seems for one girl as her roommate disappears and no one seems to know what happened to her.
The book takes you on a twisting ride all the way to the end when finally you find out what happened to the girl. Not giving away spoilers, so you will just have to read the book. Four stars on this one.… (plus d'informations)
