Venom by Fiona Paul
Genre: Historical Fiction, Young Adult
Release Date: 30th October 2012
Cassandra Caravello is one of Renaissance Venice’s lucky elite: with elegant gowns, sparkling jewels, her own lady’s maid, and a wealthy fiancĂ©, she has everything a girl could desire. Yet ever since her parents’ death, Cassandra has felt trapped, alone in a city of water, where the dark and labyrinthine canals whisper of escape.
When Cass stumbles upon a murdered woman—practically in her own backyard—she’s drawn into a dangerous world of courtesans, killers, and secret societies. Soon, she finds herself falling for Falco, a mysterious artist with a mischievous grin... and a spectacular skill for trouble. Can Cassandra find the murderer, before he finds her? And will she stay true to her fiancĂ©, or succumb to her uncontrollable feelings for Falco?
Beauty, love, romance, and mystery weave together in a stunning novel that’s as seductive and surprising as the city of Venice itself.

I am looking forward to Venom as well. Historical fiction is fast becoming my favorite! :D
Care to stop by my WoW?
Every time I see this book I can't take my eyes off of the cover and then when I read the summary again my excitement vanishes. It's not that it doesn't sound interesting, it does, I just don't like the idea... Too bad. I hope you enjoy it!
Come check out my WOW post.
I like the fact that this book plays in Venice! :D
Take a look at my WoW.
A beautiful cover, enjoy!

NOTE: I haven't been commenting on other blogs lately because my laptop's charger is broke so until I get a new one I am using another computer but I guess there is something wrong with it because I can't leave comments on other blogs at all so sorry about that but I'll try and fix that asap. Thank you!
