Every single book in this series is awesome. I am inclined to think that not only does the author have a vivid imagination, but that she is tapping into a fountain of etheric creative source material. The momentum does not let up, and the reader is kept riveted from beginning to end. I particularly ...
Seduction by M J Rose is certainly a novel of suspense. The story is set in the past and the present and is a story of reincarnation and mythology. This is out of my normal comfort zone and after seeing the beautiful cover of this book I was intrigued. I am happy to say I continued to be intri...
I loved the writing and the way M.J. breathed life into such a diverse group of characters. The format of her flowing from one year/time to another. I enjoyed the style of writing and the fact she wrote this book long hand. There were events in the story I did not care for, but that is my personal o...
Seduction takes place a few weeks after the events of The Book of Lost Fragrances. There are a few mentions about the happenings of that book, but I think most people could get away with not reading it before this one. I definitely liked this book a lot better than Lost Fragrances. It was more fo...

They stand out easily on t...
I received my copy from Atria through NetGalley and rated it 4.5 starsBefore I start on my thoughts about this book I should probably point out that I only read one previous title in this series: The Reincarnationist. Although it is quite possible that I missed connections because I didn’t read all...
The writing in this book was like a delectable treat, each page a different layer of expertise waiting to lifted from the page. Rose does have a way with words. Nothing overly pretentious or any attempts at pseudo intellectual space filling drivel. Instead it was a steady stream of confident and bea...
Rose's novels are great summertime thrillers, mixing history and intrigue with a hint of something possibly paranormal-ish (reincarnation). In this one, she slightly changes up her formula to focus on a famed historical figure -- French novelist Victor Hugo -- and brings back a character from her p...
