Chronicle Toward Books The Dead Travel Fast

A husband, a family, a comfortable life: Theodora Lestrange lives in terror of it all. With a modest inheritance and the three gowns that comprise her entire wardrobe, Theodora leaves Edinburgh--and a disappointed suitor--far behind. She is bound for Rumania, where tales of vampires are still whispered, to visit an old friend and write the book that will bring her true independence.

She arrives at a magnificent, decaying castle in the Carpathians, replete with eccentric inhabitants: the ailing dowager; the troubled steward; her own fearful friend, Cosmina. But all are outstripped in dark glamour by the castle's master, Count Andrei Dragulescu.

Bewildering and bewitching in equal measure, the brooding nobleman ignites Theodora's imagination and awakens passions in her that she can neither deny nor conceal. His allure is superlative, his dominion over the superstitious town, absolute--Theodora may simply be one more person under his sway.

Before her sojourn is ended--or her novel completed--Theodora will have encountered things as strange and terrible as they are seductive. For obsession can prove fatal...and she is in danger of falling prey to more than desire.

Evaluation About Books The Dead Travel Fast

I must say that this book was quite a surprise and I absolutely loved it from page one to the very end. I am not a mystery reader and that is where the story took me by surprise but it was a good surprise. It's supposed to be a paranormal romance but I would say it's more of a paranormal mystery with a dash of romance to wet the appetite.Our heroine Theodora has just lost her grandfather a few months past and is working with her sister and brother-in-law to settle up his estate when Theodora

Enjoyable enough, I guess, but it could have been so much more atmospheric and just better overall if more work had been put into it. A wasted premise, imho.

This book reminded me of one of those classical gothic tales. It moved at a leisurely pace as the story unfolded slowly with interesting details. I enjoyed the atmosphere of the castle in Transylvania, the descriptions of the neighboring countryside, the many characters within the story and the heroine's will to be independent. However, I wish I had a better grasp of the hero in the story. Got glimpses of him, but they were just that, glimpses. I never really felt the character was totally

On a scale of 1 to 10, where 1 is Lady Julia Grey and 10 is Veronica Speedwell, Theodora is dead center. She is not particularly annoying or particularly exciting. From the reviews I had very low expectations, which ended up working in this books favor. The setting is striving for an atmospheric feel and the mystery was a slow burn, but it keep me reading. The prose is a little rough in places, but my main complaint with this book is our MC's name. Theodora Lestrange. I have a irrational dislike

2.5/5I'm a huge fan of Deanna Raybourn's ongoing Veronica Speedwell series. I enjoyed her other stuff - that I've read - for the most part. This one, sadly, didn't quite get there. But what could possibly happen to me in Transylvania?The Dead Travel Fast is one of Deanna Raybourn's standalones. It's the story of Theodora Lestrange, a young writer, who travels to Transylvania to visit a school friend and ends up having a bit more of an adventure than she bargained for. The time is the Victorian

Up front, this book is NOT a Lady Julia book (one of my very favorite mystery series). It's been sitting around a while and I just decided to clear it off my Kindle. I liked it, but didn't LOVE it. Basically if you like a good period-ish Gothic romance set in Transylvania, you might really enjoy it. To me the main character didn't have enough flaws, and the beginning chapters were a bit clunky, but the meat of the book was quite satisfying and interesting. Fluffy one-off that Gothic fans might

Can we PLEASE go back to the original cover style for her books so I'm not embarrassed to buy them?
