Stand alone or series: Second in the Jaqueline Kirby series but can be read as a stand aloneĪ couple of months ago, news surfaced in England that a skeleton found beneath a car park in Leicester had been confirmed as that of King Richard III. and racing to untangle a murderous puzzle before history repeats itself in exceptionally macabre ways. Jacqueline Kirby, an American librarian on hand for the festivities, suddenly finds herself in the center of strange, dark doings. But the fun ends when the masquerade turns more sinister. In a remote English manor house, modern admirers of the much-maligned King Richard III–one of Shakespeare’s most extraordinary villains–are gathered for a grand weekend of dress-up and make-believe murder. And as the Blue Blood enclave weakens yet further, fate leads Schuyler to a terrible choice that will ultimately map the destiny of her heart. Help arrives in the form of Deming Chen, a Venator from Shanghai, who must untangle the web of deceptions before the killers strike again.Īs the young vampires struggle for the survival of the coven, they uncover a deadly secret, a truth first discovered by Schuyler’s mother during the Renaissance but kept buried for centuries.

After inheriting the dark Van Alen Legacy, Schuyler fled to Florence with her forbidden love, Jack. This radical choice in perspective demands that the reader, rather than interpreting them as the imaginary manifestations of a troubled girl, accepts their presence as a reality. These entities plot and scheme from within her, influence her actions, strategize to protect her and act as bemused witnesses to Ada’s human concerns. The narrative alternates between a collective “we” and singular spirits who appear over the course of her life, especially Asughara who first materializes around the time of Ada’s puberty.

I'd prefer a more mature voice.ĭid Not for Sale inspire you to do anything? Would you listen to another book narrated by Jennifer Woodward? Maybe this wasn't the best one to start with (it's the first of hers that I've listened to). I've read reviews of her books and they sound great. Would you be willing to try another book from Sandra Marton? Why or why not? at one point the female protagonist has to leave home to avoid being burgled/possibly attacked she packs virtually nothing and then seems quite happy to stay with a man who she hardly knows for an unknown period of time.
