The Lady Rogue
by Jenn Bennett
Disclaimer: I received this book from Netgalley! Thanks! All opinions are my own.
Book Series: Standalone
Rating: 5/5
Publication Date: September 3, 2019
Genre: YA Fantasy
Recommended Age: 15+ (some language, some violence, some gore, history, and lore)
Publisher: Simon Pulse
Synopsis: Some legends never die…
Traveling with her treasure-hunting father has always been a dream for Theodora. She’s read every book in his library, has an impressive knowledge of the world’s most sought-after relics, and has all the ambition in the world. What she doesn’t have is her father’s permission. That honor goes to her father’s nineteen-year-old protégé—and once-upon-a-time love of Theodora’s life—Huck Gallagher, while Theodora is left to sit alone in her hotel in Istanbul.
Until Huck arrives from an expedition without her father and enlists Theodora’s help in rescuing him. Armed with her father’s travel journal, the reluctant duo learns that her father had been digging up information on a legendary and magical ring that once belonged to Vlad the Impaler—more widely known as Dracula—and that it just might be the key to finding him.
Journeying into Romania, Theodora and Huck embark on a captivating adventure through Gothic villages and dark castles in the misty Carpathian Mountains to recover the notorious ring. But they aren’t the only ones who are searching for it. A secretive and dangerous occult society with a powerful link to Vlad the Impaler himself is hunting for it, too. And they will go to any lengths—including murder—to possess it.
Review: holy cow this book was a worldwind! I absolutely loved this book and it's definitely on my reread list! It has an Indiana Jones vibe and the characters are fun and infuriating but in a likeable way. The worldbuilding was great and the writing was amazing. The pacing was also very well done, it was not too fast or too slow for me.
My only issue with the novel is that the ending fight scene was a bit chaotic and hard to follow and I expected a loose end to come back and it didn't.
Verdict: Indiana Jones for the young!
