I was excited to finally get my hands on this as I really loved the first book. This book was such a disappointment. There were a bunch of little things that bothered me as read this book but three things really ruined the book for me.I found Gallowglass calling Diana Auntie extremely annoying after...

There are many issues I have with this book that prevented me from liking it. My major grievance is the fact that they were supposed to be following the family tradition of vampire hunting, and yet Daisy and her family seemed like amateurs when faced with actual combat. Just because they have collec...

As the second novel in Deborah Harkness’ All Souls’ Trilogy, Shadow of Night fills a necessary role in Diana and Matthew’s story. The threat of the Congregation and Peter Knox fades somewhat as the need to find Ashmole 782 and help Diana learn more about her powers takes center stage. Throughout it ...

Magical trip thru the past with a witch, vampire and all the creatures they encounter in the late 1500's London, Prague and several other places. Many historical figures are woven thru this tale including Shakespeare, sir Walter Raleigh, Christopher Marlow, Queen Elizabeth, and the list is huge. O...

I can't take it anymore! Even though this is an audiobook it felt like with each chapter, a little more of my life was being drained from my body. This book is SO boring and so wordy and Diana can just go kick rocks. She's dumb. She's a book smart person with no common sense - the worse kind of dumb...

Ashmole 782?★★★★★ (This is a review of the audiobook.) I’ll be honest and say it took me several attempts at this one. After failing three times, I just put the audiobook in the car; I figured there I would be a captive audience. I was really beginning to wonder how this book ever received GoodRe...

This book is one of the first great vampire/witch books I've read in an extremely long time. With the genre being so popular, I've started and dropped tons of books in the genre over the last 2 years or so.This book did not disappoint me at all. I listened to it on audio and the narrator was great w...

First things first: this book is not a complete story. It doesn’t have the kind of white knuckle cliffhanger ending that makes me want to kick the author’s butt, but it’s definitely an investment in an ongoing series. I thought it was a worthwhile investment, an engrossing, atmospheric, very romanti...

Diana is a witch, but she is resistant to her magic and strives to be a normal human. Ironically she is a historian who is quite familiar with alchemy. The story opens with her calling an alchemical manuscript that has been missing for 150 years and is under a spell. Now all creatures daemons, witch...

While this book was a little slow at the beginning, it didn't take long before I was on the edge of my seat trying to figure out what was happening to Diana. Deborah Harkness has created a world within our world full of witches, demons, and vampires using a new (to me, at least) and refreshing mytho...
