    About this audiobook

    A woman's quest for the truth...A medieval icon that holds the clues...And an ancient book with the power to shake Christianity-and humanity itself.

    London tour guide Caroline Clifford has never believe in vampires- until her uncle is brutally murdered at a Bulgarian archaeological site, and a vampire hunter who corresponded with him seeks her out.

    Strange anagrams on her uncle's passport lead them to a cliff-top monastery in Greece, where a shattering revelation connects a relic Caro inherited to an age-old text on immortality-and an enigmatic prophecy that pits the forces of darkness and light in a showdown that could destroy all they know...

      Urban fantasy thriller. Start of a series. some romance.
    • 5/5
      When Caro Clifford's beloved uncle is killed on a dig in Bulgaria, she goes there to claim his body. What she gets there is a lot if information she would rather not have, like, by the way, vampires are real and she is carrying something that the lots of other people, and vampires want. She also meets a hunky scientist, Jude, who is trying to protect her but comes off like a stalker. Finally, she joins forces with Jude as they try to solve the puzzle of her uncles death, and the mysterious icon she owns.OK, that was pretty basic. But so much happens. I really enjoyed this book. I found Caro an interesting, if somewhat stubborn, character. Jude is just yummy despite his nerdiness. This book has been compared to The DaVinci Code, which I have never read so I don't get the connection. Maybe that is why I enjoyed it more than some. However, I really got invested in this story and have already checked out the next one. If you like globe trotting adventure and a paranormal twist, you should give this one a try.Warning: -- it does end in a sort of cliff hanger so if you hate those, you might want to pass.

      I haven't read a book like this in in ages and it was nice to read something different. I actually really enjoyed the book and found myself flying through the pages. Parts of the book were very intense and extremely well done. Other parts I didn't really love and found myself picking it apart a bit. The book I can think of that I most recently read that was at all similar was The Historian {the book is actually described as a mixture of a Dan Brown thriller and an Anne Rice Vampire Chronicle book}. The Historian had some drawn out and more boring parts that this book didn't have {this one moved along much faster} and really they are quite different from each other, just a bit of a similar feel as Caroline flees for her life and to discover the truth. She is armed with a secret message in code and has to put pieces together. The book isn't predictable in any way. I never could figure out the twists and started to be super paranoid cause it was often hard to know who was really the good guy and who was the bad. I had my eyes glued to the pages through the majority of the book eager to learn more and see where things went. This was probably the best part of the book, discovering new things as Caro did and being surprised over and over again with the twists thrown in.I did think parts of the book weren't really realistic. I didn't think it was realistic that a billionaire who was concerned for his reputation and company would hire such messy 'people' who didn't seem to have any sort of reason to follow his instructions and all went on crazy killing sprees just for fun and didn't even bother trying to keep people alive per the billionaire's instructions. And yes, we see some of those 'messy' bits so this book does have some gore. I didn't feel like I had a real connection with the characters, but this was more of a plot driven novel, not so character driven. It wasn't a huge issue but if I had felt more of a connection it would have made this book much better. I thought the way the romance played out wasn't real realistic and it moved forward much faster then I would have thought. There's a bit of a reason for this, but still- it wasn't really to my liking. I also didn't like some things that Jude did later in the book that made me like him less. Now it's not that I didn't like the characters, I just didn't feel a real connection to them. The book ends on a bit of cliffhanger after a very intense and extremely twisty ending. My press release does say that it's the first in series and it definitely leaves lots left for the next novels. I enjoyed this book quite a lot though I had a few issues. I'm still anxious to see where things go in the future books and am eagerly anticipating them. I recommend this book to those who enjoy a bit of a thriller with a twisted and crazy plot with some paranormal thrown in. This book is suited for adults only.
