The Girl Who Knew Da Vinci by Belle Ami is a romantic, thrilling, fictional novel about three distinct personalities who appear as one in different eras of existence, a type of reincarnation. This intriguing novel covers the genres of love, romance, trust, and greed.

In the book, Alex and Angela, entangled in the web of reoccurrences, tried in every possible way to prevent history from repeating itself. The two lovers had found solace, comfort, and contentment in each other's arms, tied together by fate and destined to fight for a particular cause even when it seemed unlikely. They had to go through a lot to avoid the impending danger hovering over them—the same threat and tragedy that they faced centuries ago during their past existence. What could be the cause of this? How possible is it for them to come out victorious from this tough fight against recurrence? Are they truly not meant to be? Read this book to find out more about this thrilling, mind-blowing novel.

I love Belle Ami's writing style. As illustrated in the book, Angela's visions and dreams of the past concerning the present are mind-blowing. The touches of suspense in some scenes in the book made it compelling and fun to read. An instance of this was when Angela was locked in the New Sacristy by some unforeseen forces, and the door, which they had never locked before, refused to open despite the efforts of Alex and several security guards; it was a strange, unexplainable situation. Another instance was when Angela was injected with the truth serum. One would have thought the end had genuinely come as she led the greedy Scordato and his wicked cousin, Enrico, to the secret cave that harbored the long-hidden treasured painting for centuries, but there was more to be unfolded. The book has many captivating scenarios, making it exciting and fun to read.

My favorite character is Alex. He was like a backbone to Angela, a great support to her whenever she fell back into the past. He was kind and responsible. His intentions towards Angela and finding the long-hidden painting were pure, sincere, and genuine, unlike Scordato, who was driven by greed and lustful desires. My favorite scene was when the ghosts of Sophia, Gerhard, Fioretta, and Giuliano appeared in the cave to encourage Angela; that scene triggered unexplainable emotions.

Although the book is easy to read and comprehend, there are some aspects where the writer used the Italian language, which made me curious about the interpretation of those passages. It would have been nice if the author had provided an understanding of those passages. However, this did not impede my reading progress, as the book was well-written, edited, and well-structured. The writer's writing style is simple and exciting, which makes the book captivating and compelling. Therefore, I rate The Girl Who Knew Da Vinci 5 out of 5 stars.

I recommend this book to lovers of fiction, love, and romance stories. Those interested in stories that have to do with reincarnation and art histories will find it interesting to read as well.
