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 fiancé, 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 fiancé, 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!
