Ilustration To Books The Raven (The Florentine #1)
From the New York Times bestselling author of the Gabriel Series comes a dark, sensual tale of romance in a city shrouded in mystery…Raven Wood spends her days at Florence’s Uffizi Gallery restoring fine works of Renaissance art. But an innocent walk home after an evening with friends changes her life forever. When she intervenes in the senseless beating of a homeless man, his attackers turn on her, dragging her into an alley. Raven is only semi-conscious when their assault is interrupted by a cacophony of growls followed by her attacker’s screams. Mercifully, she blacks out, but not before catching a glimpse of a shadowy figure who whispers to her…
Cassita vulneratus.
When Raven awakes, she is inexplicably changed. She returns to the Uffizi, but no one recognizes her and more disturbingly, she discovers that she’s been absent an entire week. With no recollection of the events leading up to her disappearance, Raven also learns that her absence coincides with one of the largest robberies in Uffizi history – the theft of a set of priceless Botticelli illustrations. When the baffled police force identifies her as its prime suspect, Raven is desperate to clear her name. She seeks out one of Florence’s wealthiest and elusive men in an attempt to uncover the truth about her disappearance. Their encounter leads Raven to a dark underworld whose inhabitants kill to keep their secrets…

Sylvain Reynard has taken me by surprised. I thought it will be a romance novel with a twist of art history and I didn't expect there will be vampires in it. I would have guessed demons, merely because of The Divine Comedy. Still, I find this fascinating. I think this is a spin-off series for Gabriel's Inferno trilogy because of the appearance of its characters in this book. It's nice to see Gabriel Emerson and Julianne Emerson again. I miss these two badly and I'm in awed of their love story.Things I know:1. I'm lucky because I beta read this.2. I liked this BETTER than GI/GR/GRed and I have mad love for those books. 3. You'll fall in love / lust with the male lead. Dare I say, he's possibly hotter than Gabriel. POSSIBLY4. The way the two series are linked is so genius that I hate SR a little bit for being so smart and awesome for thinking it up.5. Raven is KICK ASS.6. I honestly can't wait for you guys to read this so I have someone to talk about it with.7. February isn't that far
The Raven is the first installment in Sylvain Reynard's The Florentine series. It is marketed as a paranormal romance, and it is, but it is also full of art, mystery, Italian culture, history...all with a gothic undertone that melds everything together beautifully. As the story progressed, the focus became more centered on the romance which disappointed me just a bit as I was really enjoying how the other elements were proportioned, but the vampire/human dynamic was not your typical paranormal
Review-Jo Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheHopelessR...TSU: https://www.tsu.co/HopelessRomanticsBlog: http://thehopelessromanticsbookblog.b...I loved, loved, loved this book. Move over Edward Cullen and Damon Salvatore, there is a new supernatural star in town and this one is going to rock your world! I am not a big fan of paranormal stories so I wasn't expecting to enjoy this one. How wrong was I? I am so glad that I took the opportunity to read this book because it is my favourite of the
Upon another reread: I still adored this story. I did not skim read this time and read it cover to cover. I found I forgot many of the details, and several scenes I remember seem to be in book 2 and not book 1. I wasnt able to put this down and I cannot wait to finally get to book 3 and see how Raven and Williams story ends. I love the way Sylvain Reynard weaves religion and art and mythology into his books and creates such beautiful plots out of them. This series cements him as my favourite
Paranormal love is my new " IT"genre and I am certain that Sylvain Reynard is one of the best writers for this type of books. I loved the Gabriel Series and wanted to read as many books that I could from him, in order to explore his style more.There isn't much to say about this book except that it's BRILLIANT. You have everything that you need between its 2 covers: love, action, passion, thrill, angst and sadness. A lot right? But all this elements are so well combined that you won't let this
