A discovery of witches - All souls 1

In the beginning I had some struggles with reading the story, on the one hand because of the long sentences and on the other hand because the content of the book didn’t meet my expectations. I expected a lot of action because of the promised titles but it seems more a long and bittersweet love story.

That’s not a category for me and I almost stopped but later on you get the promised excitement. This first part of the story is really profound, when everyone – the witches, the demons and the vampires – want the book Ashmole 782 for different reasons.

Diana Bisschop is becoming a witch and when she asked for ashmole 782 in the library something magical happened and all souls were warned. Everyone is hunting on Diana because of ashmole 782 but she gave it it back to the library where it disappeared   again.

The vampire Matthew De Clairmont has his own agenda about ashmole 782 but he protects Diana. They fell in love with each other. For finding the book they travel back in time 1590…
