I enjoyed Venom, the first book in this series. If, like me, your memory is a little fuzzy, Belladonna also does an excellent job of recapping the action in Venom. For me, these books are all about the setting. I was excited that Belladonna moved the story action from Venice to Florence. Though I d...
Much like it's predecessor, Belladonna got off to a bit of a slow start for me. But knowing that the author takes her time building the story, trying to catch her stride, I knew that I'd get to the middle and practically be unable to stop reading. And that's exactly what happened.Fiona Paul has do...
Phew, what a read, another fantastic instalment of the Secrets of the Eternal Rose series. This secret society seems to be getting even more intriguing and mysterious with each book and I cannot wait for Starling. I loved Venom and loved Belladonna even more. Ms Paul’s writing style is fantastic, so...
*****FINAL RATING: 4.65 STARS*****CATCHALLI am a huge, huge fan of Venom. Everybody knows that, because I literally Never. Shut. Up. About it. Which is fine by some of you.

Unfortunately, I really didn't like it. I had to force myself just to keep reading since it didn't hold my interest and the charac...
Due to copy and paste, formatting has been lost.I have to say, Venom really surprised me. I mean, I love historical and strong lead characters, but for some reason I had convinced myself that this wasn't for me. But then Inky from Book Haven Extraordinaire kept telling me that it was amazing. She fi...
3.5/5 stars.First of all, I want to make sure I mention just how gorgeous this book is. Aside from the fantastic cover, the pages are done with that sort of "rough edge" quality (I'm sure this has a fancy name, but I don't know it), and all of them have a really pretty pattern printed on them where ...
