A library bingo board? Never heard of that. Can you explain for those of us who haven't heard of that before?holsam_87 wrote: ↑16 Jun 2018, 01:41Overall I would rate this book as 3 out of 4 stars.

The imagery was superb and Ami did transition well and did a good job of integrating three couples from three time periods.rocj wrote: ↑23 Jun 2018, 09:43 I have a mixed reaction to this book. I thought it was a thriller. I anticipated more action and less romance. The fight scenes were tamed. The villain wasn't as evil as I thought he could be. The investigator's character was a bit of a cliche. He's studly, rich, and wants to be the hero. However, the plot is unique. Kodus to the author for writing one character as three different people living in three different time periods. The dialogue flowed naturally. I was in awe of how much she brought Italy to life. The settings were so vivid I thought I was there. I rate it 3 out of 4 stars. I think anyone who loves romantic thrillers would enjoy this book. The author's imagination exceeded my expectations.
I struggled with some of the dialogue between Alex and Angela. It was a little cheesy and dull at times.

It can be so hard to prioritize with so many great books out there. At first I was frustrated when there were no books available for review that I was particularly interested in but after a few months I enjoy the break where I can read a BOTD I was really fascinated by or go back to reading something from my non-OBC want to read list.FictionLover wrote: ↑23 Jun 2018, 16:19 I really liked the opening to this book and want to continue reading it, but just have not had the time. I like the art history connection and thought the paranormal slant on things was fun.
With all the BsOTD and trying to read books to review, I feel like I am behind the eight ball trying to keep up.

At first I was getting overwhelmed by all the reading, especially reading the sample every day, in addition to the book I am reviewing, and I usually have a paperback going, too. But, I am falling into a routine.
I am not big into non-fiction anymore, and was a little disappointed that two of my review books have been non-fiction, but they were (are, I'm just beginning one, and finished the other) easy enjoyable reads and very inspirational.

It is an excellent book, but as some have been arguing the title can be misconstrued. While leonardo Da Vinci is present in the book it does not revolve around him rather one of his paintingsBookwormgirl1 wrote: ↑26 Jun 2018, 11:24 I typically enjoy fiction books that incorporate art and history into the overall theme and mystery of the story. I have yet to read this book, but I am excited to read it and learn more about the time of da Vinci and see how he must have lived.
