A Fall of Water: An Elemental Vampire Fantasy

Still grieving from their loss in the far East, Giovanni Vecchio and Beatrice De Novo are called to Rome and instantly discover that nothing is quite as it seems in the Eternal City. Joined by Carwyn and Tenzin, unexpected clashes greet them immediately, and rivalries churn beneath the glittering facade of the old Roman court. Allies might be enemies, and ancient rivals could hold the key to a deadly secret.

Sometimes, finding the end means going back to the beginning. Fire, Earth, Wind, and Water finally meet with devastating results in the conclusion of the Elemental Mysteries.

[Hunter] writes vampires like Anne Rice would have written them - cunning, cautious, extremely political, clever and very, very dangerous. They might act like spoiled children sometimes but there are always multiple layers and reasons to their motivation.

A brilliant series finale for Ms. Hunter. I love the complexity, mystery, and subterfuge woven throughout the story. The cast of characters was as strong as ever.

The bottom line: this novel… is one of the most satisfying ends to a series that I have encountered in a very, very long time. [Beatrice and Giovanni’s] story is over and it is an ending that is so very appropriate and gratifying.
