The Book of Life (All Souls Trilogy, #3)

I mean, let's face it, this is "Twilight" written by a college professor. The love scenes are embarrassing and clunky, but the archive scenes are hot. All those old books with their archival boxes slowly being removed and their parchment being stroked. The two main characters are tedious and unlikable, but since there are thousands of pages at our disposal, some of them have been filled with other characters you can like. At the end of the day, the plot didn't make a lot of damn sense, but who cares if you're reading it by a pool with an umbrella drink?

The love scenes made me cringe. You are so right on. That said, I still enjoyed reading these books, it was fun, but not anything I want to buy or read again.
I enjoyed the books but you're right, the love scenes were Harlequin Romance and it was like an upscale Twilight with interesting historical facts thrown in!
LOL at "Twilight written by a college professor"
This review made me laugh - it's Library-Porn isn't it?
