Technically I did not finish. I made it to about 58% and I just couldn't read anymore. I absolutely hate it when a plot stops for romance, especially when that plot involves life threatening circumstances. So there's that. I've also cheated a bit and read reviews of the later books and apparently yo...
"A Discovery Of Witches" has a strong sense of place and how people live in them, even though the places are disparate - academic life in Oxford, long-established aristocracy in a Château in rural France, an old Family home in Madison New York. The creatures in the book - witches, vampires, demons, ...
I had never heard of the All Souls Trilogy until I received an email from the publishers about the final book. They very kindly sent me this one, the first in the series and what a good book it is! The blurb about the books liken them to the Twilight Series but I found this to be much darker. I like...
Publication Date: Available now from Headline Thank you to the author and publisher for the review copy via Netgalley. In this tale of passion and obsession, Diana Bishop, a young scholar and the descendant of witches, discovers a long-lost and enchanted alchemical manuscript deep in Oxford’s Bo...
Diana's a professor who just happens to be a witch as well, but she sort of ignores that part. Matthew is also a professor doing research who happens to be a vampire. As Matthew starts his pursuit of Diana, she starts tripping over more and more bits of her magic, which she really wants nothing to d...
Second read-through of the book. *Disclaimer: I like my book relationships to be very different from my real-life marriage. If my husband tried controlling me like Matthew does with Diana, I'd punch him in the face, then walk away. But since it's a fantasy, I'll allow it.This book has a lot going...

This book doesn't seem to fit nicely into any one genre, whether it is romance, contemporary fiction, historical fiction, mystery, or even paranormal-fantasy. The fact that the majority of characters are witches, vampires or daemons is important enough to the main storyline (where did these three cr...
I don't know. I just don't know. This is one of those books where a connection with the writing seems to be thisclose … but not quite made. The buildup has been excruciating; I would much have preferred even just a little more forward motion in the plot to what I have instead: an awareness of how mu...
