About this listen
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.

Have to read the second book
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...

What?
I didn't actually hear very much of this book. The story looked really good, however, I was unable to focus in on the story. The narrator spoke way too soft and fast to really be able to understand her. It could also be that because she is English and so with the softness of her voice and how quickly she speaks, because I am an American, I was unable to hear what she was saying. Too bad. But again it looks like a really good story and I will probably look this one up as a kindle read. Try it out for yourself and see.

A decent story
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.

Excellent narration
I do love me some Natalie Ross and Phil Gigante. This story grew on me, and had some wonderful twists and turns. I did not, though, like it enough to listen to the rest of the series, since the narrators are different.

I'm not overly fond of the female lead.
Natalie Ross was outstanding in her narration of female characters. Phile Gigante was very good too with slightly French accents.
