Engrossing, beautifully-written and atmospheric
I’ve been a fan of Dianne Sylvan’s work for some years, and was thrilled to see that she’s written fiction (at last)! And what a beautiful book it is. I’ve been making it last over recent weeks, so that I can then slip into the sequel as soon as it’s been released!
‘Queen of Shadows’ is far from the generic ‘supernatural romance’ genre that seems to have grown up lately. It does contain a love story, but that’s far from the only plot. The protagonist is utterly sympathetic, believable and realistic, with her situation understandable and reactions (potentially) accurate – I couldn’t say honestly on that final point, not having personal experience with powerful vampires! But despite the supernatural element, the suspension of disbelief is easy. The book really does grab you and hold on, creating a wonderful mood that it was a pleasure to return to.
Many thanks, Dianne – do keep writing!
