AMAZON: 5 Star Review:
Cocktails and Books: Sinner’s Opera is poetic and beautiful -a love story that touches as deeply as some of the most romantic classics. The story is sophisticated in nature, bringing with it a rich and tasteful air of sensuality. Its unique take on the all too familiar vampire novel is a welcome change, adding uncharted territory to a popular genre in need of some new ideas. The characters are brilliantly penned, every detail of their being painted like a beautiful picture, exposing their strengths, weaknesses and emotion. The main character of the book, Morgan, is a vampire that’s waited centuries for his one true love, the stunning Isabeau. He struggles to keep her safe from his dark enemies and from himself,
as he fights his thirst for the blood that runs through her veins. He’d risk everything to keep her safe – including his heart and his life.
This story drips with romance, wit and charm. It is addictive, exciting and grips you from the very first page to the very last. Morgan and Isabeau are characters that could be placed in the same category as some of the most famous couples in romance history – Romeo and his Juliet, Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy – and their romance plays out like one of Beethoven’s famous love letters.
As a sucker for anything that rings classical romance, this one drew me in and captured me. It ended with the hint of a sequel (and hopefully beyond). If that comes to pass, I can honestly say that I’ll be first in line on release day.
Author Beth Trissel: A riveting concert pianist and former Royalist fighting for the ill-fated English King Charles 1st, Morgan D’Arcy is a class act and the most arresting vampire I’ve ever encountered in literature or films. His sophistication soars above others in his league. What am I saying? There are none in his league. Morgan’s arrogant
veneer–actually, he is rather proud of his mesmerizing appeal–conceals a powerful love for the intoxicating woman he’s waited centuries to have and to
hold. But not bite. And therein lies the tremendous struggle. His hunger for the life giving flow running through Isabeau’s lovely veins is an ever-present
temptation he must resist. Nor is Morgan without enemies in his dark world who would gladly see this formidable rival fall from the heady heights he’s achieved
and rob him of the beautiful Isabeau. Can he safeguard her from them, from himself? Or forfeit all? A far greater battle faces Morgan than preserving a
king, and the stakes are higher. The cost if he fails, his heart. And his life, but what is life without Isabeau?
Fascinating, gripping, and seamlessly penned, Author Linda Nightingale introduces us to the unforgettable Morgan D’Arcy in his debut novel fittingly entitled Sinner’s Opera. I eagerly await my next encounter with Morgan. This novel begs for a sequel, or two, as do I. – Author Beth Trissel
..a fascinating journey through the psyche…
“Sinners’ Opera is a beautifully written love story with vivid imagery, dry humor, sarcastic wit, and sensuous love scenes. The descriptions of Charleston bring that cityto life. It’s also a fascinating journey through the psyche of a man who’s lived through the centuries but is now willing to die for the woman he loves and to bring his kind into the light of the mortal’s world.
And thereby hangs this tale of love, deception, murder, and revenge.” — New York Journal of Books
