A bit of cover lust got my attention for this one, plus YA murder mystery in Renaissance Venice? A must have. The first 150 pages or so were quite good, intriguing. The mystery was fairly compelling, even if the main character did make me roll my eyes a lot. I just didn't like her. By the middle o...
It took me a long time - more than half way through the novel - to really get into Venom, and there was a time when I contemplated not finishing it. Something about Cassandra and her predicament refused to click with me, and I couldn't see the so-called romance between her and Falco as anything but ...
Short and Sweet: Venom is definitely one of those books I thought I would like much better than I did. It wasn't a bad story, just not a very compelling one at times.

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.

They soon realise that the murderer knows that Cassandra saw the body, and the murderer starts targeting ...
2 stars. Giving Venom a two star rating is actually pretty merciful on my part. It was very tempting - and trust me, veeeerrry tempting - to give this book a one. It just didn't appeal to me. Let's start off with things we notice right off the bat: the sultry cover.Okay, so I'm a girl, and I'm strai...
