Mozart's Blood
Free Kindle download--thank you, Amazon!Very creative, origina, and well written. Dances back and forth through time, but it's easy to follow and clearly done. If you're not an opera fan before you read it, you may well be by the time you're finished. The author obviously cares about the beauty of the art, and that care comes across loud and clear.Would recommend this to anyone who enjoys a well-crafted story.
I loved how I knew some of the different operas that were listed in the book and how the author used actual real life people like Teresa Sapporiti (forgive me if I spelled it wrong) and Mozart. I loved the writing style of Louise Marley, however I got confused every once in a while when switching back and forth between Octavia's current and her past. I love the character of Massimo Luca!
Sweeping, lyrical, gripping - can't say enough good things about this one. A must read!
Octavia Voss is an ethereal singer whose talent belies her young age. In truth she's a centuries old vampire who once "Shared the tooth" with Mozart himself. Ugo, her ancient friend and protector stalks the streets to find the elixir that feeds his muse's soul. When he inexplicably disappears, Octavia is left to fend for herself, unprotected. When she learns the truth behind his disappearance she realizes too late, that the life hanging most in the balance is her own.Personal Take.Beautifully
The plot, characterization, and setting in Mozarts Blood are superb. My only warning to readers would be that the book contains a great deal of exposition. The scenery truly makes the story, so dont expect an action-packed bloodfest. While there is action, blood, intrigue, and a fair bit of terror, those elements are woven into the storyline rather than splattered on the walls.Full review available here: http://bittenbybooks.com/?p=29306#mor...
