Goodreads description--The Last Magician meets A Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue in this thrilling tale filled with magic and set in the mysterious Carpathian Mountains where a girl must hunt down Vlad the Impaler’s cursed ring in order to save her father.Some legends never die…
Traveling with her treasure-hunting father has always been a dream for Theodora. She’s read every book in his library, has an impressive knowledge of the world’s most sought-after relics, and has all the ambition in the world. What she doesn’t have is her father’s permission. That honor goes to her father’s nineteen-year-old protégé—and once-upon-a-time love of Theodora’s life—Huck Gallagher, while Theodora is left to sit alone in her hotel in Istanbul.
Until Huck arrives from an expedition without her father and enlists Theodora’s help in rescuing him. Armed with her father’s travel journal, the reluctant duo learns that her father had been digging up information on a legendary and magical ring that once belonged to Vlad the Impaler—more widely known as Dracula—and that it just might be the key to finding him.
Journeying into Romania, Theodora and Huck embark on a captivating adventure through Gothic villages and dark castles in the misty Carpathian Mountains to recover the notorious ring. But they aren’t the only ones who are searching for it. A secretive and dangerous occult society with a powerful link to Vlad the Impaler himself is hunting for it, too. And they will go to any lengths—including murder—to possess it.
What are you guys waiting on this week? Let me know!
This reminds me so much of the cover for the Megan Shepherd book that came out last year, I keep thinking it is a sequel whenever it pops up. But I guess not. It sounds good! Great pick!

I'm curious for this one as well but there is a similarity to the Megan Shepard cover Lisa mentions.
ReplyDeleteI've seen this cover art/book on Goodreads, but don't think I've really given it a second look. Still since it's by Jenn Bennett (who I've recently read two books by), I may have to keep it on my to-look-at list. :) Sounds fun!
ReplyDeleteOh nice one! Love the sound of this! She's actually a fairly new author to me!
ReplyDeleteHappy Hump Day! Here's my Wednesday post. I pinned your book cover!
