I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for my review.This story takes place in 2011 Venice, but started in 1508. The main characters are the Mantell family: mother, Penny, father, Gideon and 10 year old daughter, Venetia.Some events happened long ago that are soon to be revealed by a team of archeologists including Penny and Gideon. I was 50% into this book when I thought that the best part so far was the prologue. I felt there was too much detailed description of Venice that had nothing to do with the story. I wasn't prepared to be reading a travel brochure.On the other hand, half way through, the suspense started building up at a fast pace and without realizing it the supernatural elements are slowly woven into the story. For the remainder of the book, I couldn't stop reading until the end.I recommend this book, but please don't give up on it. The end it worth the wait.
