I am delighted to share my review of The Vengeance by Emma Newman<\/strong>. This is the first book in The Vampires of Dumas<\/strong> series, and I adored it. <\/p>\n

My huge thanks to Solaris Books<\/strong> for accepting my request to read this title via Netgalley<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Morgane grew up at sea, daughter of the fierce pirate captain of the\u00a0Vengeance<\/em>, raised to follow in her footsteps as scourge of the Four Chains Trading Company. But when Anna-Marie is mortally wounded in battle, she confesses to Morgane that she is not her mother.<\/p>\n

The captain of the enemy ship reveals he was paid to kill Anna-Marie and bring Morgane home to France and her real family. Desperate to learn the truth about her lineage, Morgane spares him, leaving the\u00a0Vengeance<\/em>\u00a0and everything she knows behind.<\/p>\n

Her quest reveals a world of decadence and darkness, in which monsters vie for control of royal courts and destinies of nations. She discovers the bloody secrets of the Four Chains Trading Company, and the truth about her real mother\u2019s death, nearly twenty years before\u2026<\/p>\n

MY REVIEW<\/strong><\/p>\n

Now and again, it is nice to dip into the world of vampires, and I have to admit, when I saw this book\u2019s cover, it caught my eye. I mean a skull and crossbones with swords, cutlasses, ships and various other bits, it is distinctive.<\/p>\n

So obviously, this is not a straight-forward swashbuckling action adventure story; it does have vampires. The main character is Morgane, who sails with, who she thought was her mother on The Vengeance. Anne Marie is the captain, and it is on her deathbed that she drops this revelation. This sets Morgane on a path that will change her life. She is not aware of vampires, like I was when it is mentioned in the title, so it also goes that she is not aware of any others\u2019 plans, plots, schemes, and shenanigans to either help or hinder her on the search for her real mother.<\/p>\n

This is a fabulous book and just what I needed, it is a dark book that is the first in the series.. There is a good amount that is not mentioned until a lot later in the boo,k and while this may put some readers off I liked it. It meant I got to know Morgane\u2019s thoughts, expectations and how she had been brought up on as a pirate on a ship in the Caribbean. After the death of her aunt, Morgane travels across the world to France, where she is unaware of how society expects women to dress, act, or speak. She is supposedly from a moneyed family, but not having access to the education that young ladies would have had, she was brought up with drinking, cursing, climbing the rigging and wearing practical clothing.<\/p>\n

Her arrival in France is not straightforward. It is fraught with danger, and no sooner does her foot touch land than she is in trouble. She gains a friend, however, when she is rescued, but who her rescuer is and his role are something she is not fully aware of.<\/p>\n

A good amount of this book deals with Morgane, giving the details of her life. I really enjoyed this as it meant the culture shock was more prominent and gave a sort of credibility to the way she behaves. Luckily, she gains an ally, and between them, they can travel, learn more about Morgane\u2019s family, but also hear some strange mutterings about things lurking in the dark. This adds to the suspense of the story and the danger that seems to follow Morgane, although the full reasoning behind this is not revealed until much later.<\/p>\n

This is the first book in the series, and it ended well; it gave closure to one part of the story while leaving it open for the next in the series. This is an action-packed adventure story, a thriller and a fast-paced plot. It has a lot going on and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It is one I look forward to continuing with and one I would definitely recommend.<\/p>\n

Many thanks for reading my post, a like or share would be amazing \ud83d\ude42 xx<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
