Review of The Girl Who Knew Da Vinci
Belle Ami's The Girl Who Knew Da Vinci delves into the Italian allure shaped by Leonardo da Vinci. Angela Renatus, an art historian at the Getty Museum, contends with Dr. Alberto Scordato's unwelcome advances and mysterious visions. Joining forces with private detective Alex Caine, they venture to Italy in pursuit of a possibly non-existent da Vinci painting. As Angela's reality blurs, Scordato's sinister interests heighten the stakes. Against a backdrop of art and danger, the quest to unravel the truth becomes a gripping race, leaving us to wonder who will emerge unscathed.
I like how this novel seamlessly blends romance, history, mystery, and the supernatural. The story initially puzzled me with elements like reincarnations and visions. However, I embraced the unique vibe and enjoyed the well-crafted narrative that effortlessly shifts between the present and history. With captivating plots and characters from different eras, the book caters to various tastes, offering historical fiction, romance, suspense, mystery, and supernatural elements. It's a compelling read for fans of time travel and the Renaissance period, skillfully intertwining three love stories with Angela's intriguing visions of her past lives.
Aside from the sexual scenes, which may seem excessive to some readers, I don’t think there is anything wrong with this book. I found no errors, and it was exceptionally edited. I also enjoyed the setting and scenes because the author’s writing was so impressive that it helped me create lucid images of these scenes.
I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars. I give it this rating because this was an impressive read and I had fun reading it. If you're into stories with a mix of art, mystery, and historical vibes, "The Girl Who Knew Da Vinci" could be your thing. Especially if you like diving into the Italian Renaissance scene, love a bit of Leonardo da Vinci, and enjoy unraveling complex characters in a suspenseful plot. It's got a good dose of romance and takes you on a journey from California to Italy, making it a solid pick for those who dig tales with a bit of everything: art history, romance, and a quest for truth in cool places.
