    <body><![CDATA[This is the first time I've read anything by this author, and she has a fantastic writing style, she really knows how to draw you into the story right from the first page. The story is fast paced and really interesting to read, flicking between modern day and ancient Rome, as Josh Ryder is experienc...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/47258419">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I’m really not much of a mystery/thriller reader. I tried them out in highschool and just couldn’t seem to get into it; usually too formulaic, especially with the twist endings. Still, though, interesting concept, interesting execution, even if it was predictable and somewhat shallower than it h...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/6570488">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[My review of this book may not be a fair reflection as it was read under extraordinary circumstances. A couple of days after starting this book I had to travel to the other side of the world because my mother had fallen ill while on holiday. The book, being hardcover and a library copy, was left beh...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/64755056">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This book was a good tale with simplistic language and a skillful plot weave going back and forward in time.  I was however, very disappointed with the ending as it came too abruptly and didn't tie up the loose ends. It is not a good book for someone grieving.  The author tries to take you through h...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/41793961">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This book was wonderful fun, although the ending disappointed me. The plot centers around a photojournalist who survives a bomb blast at the Vatican. The experience awakens potential past life memories of being a pagan priest in Rome during the brutal reign of Theodosus who forced conversion to Chri...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/38978869">more...</a>]]></body>
