           ANGELS & DEMONS : A NOVEL ( ROBERT LANGDON ) BY DAN BROWN 

SYNOPSIS:

        When world-renowned Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon is summoned to his first assignment to a Swiss research facility to analyze a mysterious symbol - seared into the chest of a murdered physicist - he discovers evidence of the unimaginable: the resurgence of an ancient secret brotherhood known as the Illuminati...the most powerful underground organization ever to walk the earth. The Illuminati has now surfaced to carry out the final phase of its legendary vendetta against its most hated enemy -- the Catholic Church.   Langdon's worst fears are confirmed on the eve of the Vatican's holy conclave, when a messenger of the Illuminati announces they have hidden an unstoppable time bomb at the very heart of Vatican City. With the countdown under way, Langdon jets to Rome to join forces with Vittoria Vetra, a beautiful and mysterious Italian scientist, to assist the Vatican in a desperate bid for survival. Embarking on a frantic hunt through sealed crypts, dangerous catacombs, deserted cathedrals, and the most secretive vault on earth, Langdon and Vetra follow a 400-year-old trail of ancient symbols that snakes across Rome toward the long-forgotten Illuminati lair...a clandestine location that contains the only hope for Vatican salvation. Find out what happens in this thriller adventure.                        

MY THOUGHTS:

I thought it was well written with all its twists and turns. It kept you guessing until the very end. How deep into the Vatican will Robert Langdon have to go? We find out the many secrets of the church and the length they go to hide them. Are we angles and do good in the world or demons always doing bad things. We are both, just like the priest character in this book. When he does not get what he wants he goes about to destroy that very thing he has grown to love. Why do we always seem to go down that damaging road of distortion. I liked the influential aspect of the priest in his struggle with the church and the way the clues are exposed to Robert Langdon's character. How we ride along bit by bit to unearth the real killer with in the story. Love the ancient aspects that pull you in and won't let you go until the end. Yes I quite enjoyed this book and cannot wait to move ahead with the series to find out what happens next for Robert Langdon.  

I give this mystery thriller 4 out of 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

 The Devil's Queen : A Novel of Catherine de Medici by Jeanne Kalogridis 

In this book, Catherine de Medici is born into one of the most powerful family of Florence and seems to have everything a young girl could want but soon a violent conflict erupts in the country. She then find herself in the hands of her enemies only to end up in prison.  Later Catherine is forced to marry the handsome Prince Henry of France but is soon overshadowed by his mistress the much older and conniving Diana de Poitier. Having a hard time conceiving children Catherine decided to turn to the dark arts of sorcery,  when she teams up with astrologer Cosimo Ruggieri. She then must deal with the consequences of her actions by paying the price of what she had done.  With Catherine's blood-soaked visions for the future, Kalogridis reveals great love and desire Catherine bore for her husband Henry and the shear determination to keep her sons on the throne of France.

I found this book a joy to read. Going a long for the ride as the author Jeanne Kalogridis brings Catherine de Medici a live through the pages of history again. It shows the hardships Catherine had to go through as a young girl growing up into adulthood. I loved driving into the French court and knowing the ins and outs of what Catherine had to do to achieve to become one of the most famous monarchs in France. I feel that the author did a fabulous job creating these characters, and the quality of each person who lived during those times. She developed the story line as it made you feel like you were stepping back in time and immersing yourself into the French country side. I think the last chapter could of been a little longer but the author has a section at the end to wrap up Catherine de Medici's time line until her death. If you want a glimpse into French history in the 16th century and love a good historical novel this book might be for you.

I gave this historical fiction ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4 out of 5 stars. Loved it.
