The Glamourist | Luanne G. Smith
11 posts | 13 read | 7 to read
A spellbinding novel of bloodlines, self-discovery, and redemption by the author of the Washington Post bestseller The Vine Witch. Abandoned as a child in turn-of-the-century Paris, Yvette Lenoir has longed to uncover the secrets of her magical heritage and tap her suppressed powers. But what brave and resourceful Yvette has done to survive the streets has made her a fugitive. With a price on her head, she clings to a memento from her past--what she believes to be a grimoire inherited from the mother she never knew. To unlock the secrets of her past, Yvette trusts in one woman to help solve the arcane riddles among its charmed pages. Elena Boureanu is the vine witch of Chteau Renard, noted for its renowned wines. Even as she struggles with her own bloodline--and its poisonous threat to her future--Elena can't ignore a friend on the run. Joined by a cunning thief, the proprietor of an enchanted-curio shop, and a bewitching black cat, Elena and Yvette are determined to decode Yvette's mysterious keepsake. But what restless magic will be unleashed? And what are Yvette and Elena willing to risk to become the witches they were destined to be?

It is the second part if The Wine Witch. It was a nice read, I love when the writer don't duplicate the first book.

I wasn‘t blown away with the second Novel in the Vine Witch series.

I found it hard to get into it and I stopped/started a lot as it didn‘t complete hold my interest.

Overall it was a nice continuation of the first novel however it almost went completely off course with Elena being unable to work the vineyards which she fought so hard for in the first book.

I will be checking out the next in the series, hopefully it will focus more on Elena!

While I didn't enjoy this as much as The Vine Witch, it is still a good follow up. Character development was the focus of this novel & there was less atmosphere than was present in the first. The magic usage, development, & history were the best pieces & I loved some of the added side characters. The pacing was a bit irregular, but the good writing pulled it though & the ending was very well done. No cliffhanger, but enough left for the next book.

Thoroughly enjoyed this sequel to The Vine Witch. We get to learn more about one of the first novel's interesting witches.

No spoilers, but I LOVED the way they went with protagonist's ancestry. Another fun summer read!

I loved The Vine Witch and wasn't sure I would be as into a book centered on Yvette, but this was just as captivating. While I missed the vineyard, the time period and the world Smith built kept it interesting. I'm looking forward to the third book to learn more about Sidra's story.
