Kate Pearce is one of my all time favorite authors and her Tudor Vampire Chronicles are great historical romance woven with paranormal intrigue. This is the second book in the series and we revisit the betrothal of Christopher Ellis and Rosalind Llewellyn. Things aren't as rosy as the last book ended. Christopher and Rosalind haven't heard from each other in a year, and there's a new vampire threat to King Henry the Eighth. I particularly enjoyed the subplot concerning Christopher and the Cult of Mithras. This is a great historical/paranormal series and I recommend it to everyone who enjoys that kind of story. I was lucky enough to receive this book from Kate through first reads. Thank you so much. When I received this book I hadn't yet read the first of the series. So I set about doing that and I seriously love this series.Kate has managed to blur the lines between good and bad, giving this series another dimension of sworn enemies working together and the reader being drawn into their lives. The main characters all believing they are on the right side are characters that you get invested in. They are all struggling with their own believes while also having to open them selves up to the believes of their enemies. Showing that the world is more grey then black and white, right or wrong.I cannot wait to read the next in this series!
I didn't enjoy this one as much as the first. Was a little disappointed...
