I liked it a lot and gave it 3 out of 4 stars. It was interesting to follow all the plot twists. I like books told from multiple perspectives, too. It could have been more fleshed out though. I wish they characters had developed more.

I plan to read this book. I wanted to know if it would be interesting. I don’t like starting a book and stopping.. I feel incomplete so I wanted to see if it was worth a read. Thank you for your opinions

I have just finished my own review of this novel, and dare I say it was great. I'm not a fan of history at all but this book tells it in a more fun and romantic way.

I loved it. It had great emotions and adult scenes. As well as a mix of history and war. It's a great story I recommend to those who like romance and history.

A great mystery Novel that has a mixture of art and romance, who can resist its charm? From the book’s title and its cover lay out, I certainly was not able to resist it, so I grabbed myself a copy when it was selected BOTD! I know everyone will be drawn to this book’s well-written story too. Very deserving of its 4 out of 4 stars rating :tiphat: thanks again for the FREE book♥️and Congratulations to Author Belle Ami for being #BOTM for the month of June👏👏👏

First of all, I love Da Vinci’s mysteriousness so I believe that this is a very interesting book for me. In addition, I like the paranormal activities plus romance! I promise there’s nothing in this book that I don’t like.

I like that it has multiple perspectives. The art and history aspect also sounds interesting enough. I might read it, though not so sure.

The Girl Who Knew Da Vinci Is an intriguing, mystery-filled book with very interesting characters.
I like how the author switches scenes.
The overall plot was well developed. I'd give this book a 4 out of 4 stars.

If you want to be remembered long after you are gone, WRITE books worth READING or DO things worth WRITING about...

I would recommend it to people that enjoy mystery novels or romance. I gave it a rating of 3 out of 4. I thought it was well written and fast paced. It kept my interest. It focused a little too much on the romance when I found the search for the painting a much more jterestkgn storyline. I thought the author could have spent more time on developing the villains but overall I would recommend it.

bookowlie wrote: 05 Jun 2018, 11:19 I enjoyed the book although I felt the mystery could have contained more clues. There is too much emphasis on the paranormal elements in solving the mystery. I would have liked a more traditional set of clues. When I first reviewed the book, I felt the painting mystery was the principal focus. After mulling it over, I think the romance and paranormal elements overwhelmed the mystery and made the story less serious. I still liked the book and found it a quick read.
I completely agree. I too was hoping for more mystery and clues to the missing painting. Instead the paranormal element took over the story. I liked the book and found it an enjoyable read, but I was hoping for more.

A book which contains a story beyond the mainstream history is very attractive to me. This book is the thing to pick up.
A joke is to entertain people. If it fails to do so, it's something else!

I really liked this book because I've always wanted to travel to Florence and this book gives you very detailed scenes about the country and the towns. I'm a big fan of romance novels so that aspect of the book appealed to me. I would recommend this book to anyone who is a fan of history and romance.
Give me the courage to get through this week...or at least a big bar of chocolate :D

Ever since a kooky art history course during undergrad I have had a side love affair with art’s little mysteries. Choosing da Vinci was a great choice on behalf of the author because there is so much symbolism to be decoded in his work!
After reading the review and your comment I am thinking that this is a book I should check out! Looks like it’s right up my alley

I agree - I recently finished reading this book and enjoyed the mystery and the paranormal aspects added a new spin. I enjoyed reading this book.
