Witch Ancestry

Buried Lore #1

by Gemma Liviero

"Marek - Buried Lore Book 1" (renamed from Witch Ancestry)

1309: When a mysterious messenger arrives on his beautiful Mediterranean island, a young carpenter discovers secrets about his mother which his father has kept hidden to protect him.

Marek's search for answers about his heritage takes him on a perilous journey to a remote castle in the icy dark forests of the north. There, he will discover more shocking truths about himself, and the seductive castle inhabitants who attempt to lure him towards a way of life which will both thrill and repulse him.
Witch Ancestry is a dark and gothic tale of warning. Hiding among us – often disguised in beauty – is another kind of being: ruthless, sadistic and hungry for human souls. And even the purest of hearts can be tempted to join them.

[Mattie · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a good read if you're keen to return to the gothic style of vampirish stories, which more recently has taken a modern slant. A 17 year old boy, Marek, searches for his half sister, Oleander, and along the way discovers some very strange skills. Snippets of love there, but mostly he has to deal with his personal demons as well as 'the grotesque ones' who want to destroy him. Dramatic, not overly fast paced, but characters unusual and intriguing. Worth the money....
