A Discovery of Witches - Deborah Harkness


Dear readers

If you are one of those readers whose guilty pleasure is vampire fiction you will enjoy this book whole-heartedly and without guilt. It is a well written adventure with sincere characters who manage not to cross over into the pathetic realm. You will meet strong women with men who compliment them and a story that carries itself well. It is good and evil again while each character sits well and is a joy to read. Anne Rice fans will appreciate it, even it is more mellow, and Twilight fans will hopefully be elevated. If you are a Rosalind Miles fan I will be truly shocked if you do not like it. It is a book not to be missed by any woman who enjoys fantasy. I know that I am boasting by comparing but I really do not want to give any plot details away. A story of love and family that is also a series. Yes, unfortunately the second installment will only be out next year, so if you are a reader who prefers to wait till a whole series is out before reading, don't. After all, the suspense is a part of the fun.
