By Emma V.Leech & Roisin O'ConnorThe truth can kill you…
Taken as a small child, from a life where faeries, sirens and mythical creatures are real and treacherous, Jéhenne Corbeaux is totally unprepared when she returns to France to stay with her eccentric Grandmother.
Thrown headlong into a world she knows nothing about she seeks to learn the truth about herself, uncovering secrets more shocking than anything she could ever have imagined and finding that she is by no means powerless to protect the ones she loves.
Despite her Gran’s dire warnings, she is inexorably drawn to the dark and terrifying figure of Corvus, an ancient vampire and master of the Albinus family.
Jéhenne is about to find her answers and discover that, not only is Corvus far more dangerous than she could ever imagine but that he holds much more than the key to her heart…

One of the many things I love about this book is that it's a different take on Vampire tales. Besides being set in France, the characters are rich and varied with the kind of protagonist, Jéhenne, who a reader can identify with, regardless of their individual circumstances. She seems extraordinarily real in increasingly supernatural circumstances. The book is an easy read but not simple, by any means. Enough plot twists and adventures exist to keep any reader interested and the romance, well, enough said. If you long for adventure, romance in a lush, supernatural setting, this is your book!

The story is set in France and the opening chapters make use of french words and phrases which are well delivered in a melange of french and english. "Ah merci Jéhenne, mon Dieu it's as cold as the grave today." The names of places such as Nontron and Brantôme added colour as I know the area. This french flavour faded as the story progressed which was a shame. Although the story is based on an old theme of vampires, witches and may other creatures the author was able to work in imaginative new ideas that I thought worked well.
For me the end could have been stronger/more believable. The taster of the second book presents familiar characters that instantly had me wanting to know more. More french please.

I found the book well written & compulsive reading, an impressive feat of imagination.
The writer weaves a spell with words which draws you into the story making you feel you have glimpsed experiences no mortal ever had.
Cannot wait for the second book to be finished.
