Product Description
Synopsis
Melke is a wraith, which means she has the ability to walk unseen. After being forced to steal a necklace, she is hunted down by the victim of the crime, Bastian sal Vere. He explains that the necklace was strung with tears, and that without it, Bastian cannot break the curse that is destroying his family. He orders Melke to regain the necklace, in exchange for her brother to be healed. But she had given the necklace to the salamanders, the fire breathing creatures that live underground. She must risk her own life. Meanwhile, Bastian becomes involved in solving a brutal murder of a young pregnant girl in the town of Theirry. This is a strong character-based fantasy, full of romantic tension and gritty storylines.

Format:Mass Market Paperback
I was looking for a one-off read, i.e. no trilogies, when I came across this book. For the first time in a long while I completely finished a book within the space of hours. It is very character driven and you are drawn into their lives in the very first chapters. You really feel for the characters and get a sense of their pain & joy, and, if you also prefer a bit of romance then this is for you. So, for a good read on a rainy (or sunny) day I give this the thumbs up! I really do hope the author has another book in the pipeline.

A romantic fantasy that has a truly interesting plot, with some really novel ideas (I loved Bastian's dog so much!). A very easy read that you can pick up and get into from the first chapter so a great summer read! If you like romantic fantasy you should enjoy this book.
Looking forward to her next book!

Format:Mass Market Paperback
I happened upon this book on a boring Tuesday afteroon and found reading it engaging and interesting. For serious fantasy fans... this story is esentially a romance. Shallowly buried under a few layers of mythology and lore the protagoninsts are essentially destined to overcome each other's prejudices and fears in order to become better people and the plot is personality driven. Whis is nice for the protagonists and good to read about. What distinguishes this book from the mass typed misstypings of people populating other people's genre reading lists is that the characters are more deeply drawn than usual, the peripherals are actually interesting and some elements of the plot are really original. This coalesces into a pleasant afternoon's escape and a warm glow that only a believable happy ever after can provide
Hopefully this author will continue to produce in a similar vein..
overall not a masterpiece but nor is it a bad read either
