Thanks for the nice feedback! Tarafarah7, the book is a pretty fast read in case you are considering reading it for the June BOTM.

I am really looking forward to reading this. I am little disappointed to hear that the plot progression is slow, but I am hoping it will still be a fun read.

I was always a sucker for Dan Brown's books and this seems to lean in that direction a bit. Anything with art history is interesting to me and the thrill of a chase really sparks my interest! I can't wait to read this when it's book of the month!

Thanks for your review, the book sound engaging, a thriller mixed with romance and past lives stories is uncommon and original. I am waiting for the book to be published. I hope I could read it very soon.

I was instantly drawn to the cover of this book and the title added a little more intrigue to the desire to read this book. Thanks for the detailed-filled review about the characters and synopsis of the story. I think that I will be able to relate to both the characters and plot of the book. Appreciate the background information regarding time period, Will start reading soon and will return with more information about the book.

I love books that develop in different time periods! And I definitely enjoy a book that can engage me completely. Plus, anything art related is always so enriching. It goes to my want-to-read shelve, thanks for your thorough review.

Your review is well written and detailed. With regards to the book, I love the blend of genres you talked about. I think its realistic that way since life itself is a blend of genres. I love mystery and might consider adding this book to my reading list :eusa-think:

This seems like my kind of book. Mystery, intrigue, and art? It looks so cool. Besides that, I love a good mystery, and this review leads me to believe that it is (even with the errors). I have it on my to be read list, but it's bumped itself to the top. It just sounds that awesome.

The cover looks cool, but I do not know what the book is about. Can someone enlighten me without giving anything away? Thank you. All the reviews and posts were very positive about this book, I just don't know anything about it.

Kandscreeley - there were other noticeable errors that I didn't list, but the author has since corrected them in the updated copy of the book. Manay9 - there are more paranormal characters, but I don't want to give away too much of the story. Gali - as someone who normally don't like a lot of time jumps, many of them were necessary to move the plot along.
Oh! It makes me so happy that the author has fixed the errors! This book seems like a fun read (I do not always look forward to the BOTM). Thrillers of all sorts are a fun read for me, and I don't mind a little touch of the paranormal. Thanks for the review.

reading these reviews have sparked my interest in the book.
Da Vinci is a figure shrouded in layers of myth and mystery. Two things I love in my choice of literature.

Totally my kind of book. An artist myself, I'd pick this read up anytime. Plus, the suspense factor completes it all. I was glad to find out that the typographical errors were the only drawbacks. In this case, I don't think that'll be a killjoy for me :)
Thanks for this review!
