5 Stars
Loved, loved, loved this story
Karlsen pens a magnificent Victorian era story in A Venomous Love. The twist in this story is that it's a detective story as well. I have read work from this author before, and I really enjoyed it. Even though that story was 5 stars as well, I must say this story just made me read it from cover to cover. First, it's 1890. A time where there was no crime scene investigators or modern science just the wit and knowledge of the detective. Bloodstone has his own demons, a haunting that follows him wherever he goes, but still he has a case to solve, a murder, before there are any others. It's an amazing story and you can definitely tell that the author did her research not just about the era, but the police procedures. Bloodstone is a unique character, with a lot of depth, and has many different layers, making up a determined man. Determined to find a killer. This author is not just a writer but a great storyteller. The thrills and intrigue is written clearly and the characterizations are engrossing. Love this story. This story was intriguing and kept the reader guessing. This read is more than just words on a page. A Venomous Love is a definite recommendation by Amy's Bookshelf Reviews. I look forward to reading many more stories by this author.
