[Jasmyn · Rating 4 out of 5]

At the end of cursed I felt like there was a little something missing. A bit of drama and excitement that hadn't happened. Well, Cate Masters just saved it up and put in into book two, Charmed. As Bruno goes through the transformation back to a man, Melina begins to do some research on his condition and look through his vast library of books. What she stumbles upon opens a door full of trouble.

You may have noticed that I labeled this as a Paranormal Romance and an Urban Fantasy. The story continues to explore Bruno and Melina as they try to figure out where their relationship is going, but this section of the story really concentrated on the magic and myth of the world. Ancient magics and warring factions appear and it seems like all hell is going to break loose. We learn more about DaVinci's secrets and Melina has a surprising discovery about herself.

Then it stops!!! Yes, a bit of a cliffhanger and now I must find out when book three is going to be released. I love where Cate is taking these characters and I really want to know where they end up.

Cate Masters spins a spellbinding tale of love, mystery, suspense and intrigue like no other. In The Vitruvian Man Trilogy we meet Melina, a self proclaimed boring genetic scientist who on holiday meets the mysterious Bruno diCesare, who is much more than meets the eye. The trilogy follows the pair through Venice and deep in to Da Vinci's secret world of magic. Melina proves herself worthy of what a great heroine strives to be in an epic battle that shows off her quick mind and her tenacity to hold on to what she holds close to her heart and you want to weep for Bruno, who after centuries of torment, is finally freed from a prison he had thought was permanent.

These books had me from the first chapter and I couldn't put them down. Paranormal romance has met it's match with these books and the history that is wound within the story sets the tone for what the underside of Venice is for those of magical persuasion.

I honestly cannot say enough about this wonderful story and once again proves that vero amore conquista tutti
