This sounds like an exciting story. I always enjoy a good detective novel. However, I am not in the mood for one at this time. I have read several along the same storyline as this and want to switch direction, but I am sure there will be many readers who love this genre who will read this one! Thanks for the enlightening review!

Not so good first impression, because the cover looks alike "Caprica" poster and I am not fond of the series. Fortunately, it can't be said about the book itself, since the description is quite promising and interesting not only offering the intriguing storyline, but spark thoughts about eternal values ​​in life, even though genuine relationships of any kind are invaluable. My sincere congratulations on BOTD!

This book sounds really intriguing and the fact it is based on facts to do with both history and Luminata's family makes it even more appealing. It's also already got me thinking about who would have my back if need be. Fantastic review, thank you.

This seems to be a really interesting read. I love historical novel because it gives me the opportunity to experience the past through the eyes of the characters. A historical thriller is even more exciting.

A story set in Romania during the communist regime. A story about true love, and friends determined to find their missing friend. A mystery waiting to be unraveled. I hope I get to read this historical fiction and find out how it all ends.

The novel "The House of Spark" is set in Romania and the period of communist rule. Maybe that's why the book emphasizes the importance of true love and friendship. I like the book, it is full of suspense, with a lot of twists and turns.
