We are jumping back in time with one of my favourite authors taking the centre stage spotlight. I hope that you will agree with me.
Prince of Shadows
By
Rachel Caine
A thrilling retelling of the star-crossed tale of Romeo and Juliet, from the New York Timesbestselling author of the Morganville Vampires series.
In the Houses of Montague and Capulet, there is only one goal: power. The boys are born to fight and die for honor and—if they survive—marry for influence and money, not love. The girls are assets, to be spent wisely. Their wishes are of no import. Their fates are written on the day they are born.
Benvolio Montague, cousin to Romeo, knows all this. He expects to die for his cousin, for his house, but a spark of rebellion still lives inside him. At night, he is the Prince of Shadows, the greatest thief in Verona—and he risks all as he steals from House Capulet. In doing so, he sets eyes on convent-bound Rosaline, and a terrible curse begins that will claim the lives of many in Verona…
…And will rewrite all their fates, forever.

Review:
This took me back in time when Romeo and Juliet lived. I liked the magic, the love story the mystery even. The grandmother was one of the best villains in this and the risk that Rachel Caine writes in here reminds me why she is one of my number one authors to read. I wasn't disappointed at all and I can't wait to see what else that she read. I'm glad that she decided to do this novel for its just perfect and its something that needs to be savoured. This is a book that takes time and I recommend it with a glass of wine.
I couldn't have loved this more.
