Sandrine Salome flees New York for her grandmother's Paris mansion to escape her dangerous husband. The house, famous for its lavish art collection and elegant salons, is mysteriously closed up. Although her grandmother insists it's dangerous for Sandrine to visit, she defies her and meets Julien Duplessi, a mesmerizing young architect. Together they explore the hidden night world of Paris, the forbidden occult underground, and Sandrine's deepest desires.

Sandrine discovers her erotic nature as a lover and painter. Then darker influences threaten - her cold and cruel husband is tracking her down and something sinister is taking hold, changing Sandrine, altering her. She's become possessed by La Lune: A witch and a 16th-century courtesan, who opens up her life to a darkness that may become a gift or a curse.

I like this story in general. I need to find out if I like the whole story by reading the second book. Her characters were interesting and I liked the Paranormal aspect of the book. Yes I would recommend this book especially to people who liked the Paranormal genre. I need to read second book to the series. To be continued...

Have to read the second book

Darkly captivating

Over all a well written and nicely performed book. I struggled to connect with the main character, and found her too helpless and self-destructive for my tastes.

A decent story
