Victoria Gardella Grantworth is about to make her debut when destiny intervenes. Like countless Gardellas before her, she is meant to become a Venator â" a vampire hunter. Victoria must be on guard for the familiar âchill at the back of her neck' that signals a nearby vampire. And the vampires seem to be everywhere. With the help of her Great-Aunt Eustacia and her fellow Venator, Max, Victoria fights to keep London safe from Lilith â" a seductive and powerful vampire. But when Phillip de Lacy, Marquess of Rockely, asks for her hand in marriage, Victoria is torn between her duty and her heart. Which will win?
This book combined two of my favorite genres â" Regency romance and vampire tales. What's not to like? Gleason has taken the ordinary vampire story and added new twists â" a vampire queen, a dynasty of vampire hunters, a love triangle, and a tragic ending.
The Rest Falls Away grabbed my attention and didn't let go â" I read it in less than 24 hours. I found Gleason's characters to be interesting, the dialogue easy to read, and the plot well thought out.
While I did thoroughly enjoy this novel, there was some information I missed. I wanted more background into the Gardella dynasty â" how did they become Venators? What about Max's background? And then there is Sebastian â" how does he fit in? Hopefully these questions will be answered in the three remaining books in The Gardella Vampire Chronicles. I can't wait to find out!
