This novel tells of a bewitched book of alchemy found on the shelves of an Oxford library and the creatures who have been searching for it for millennia. The finder, Diana, a historian and witch, sends it back to the stacks, but not before vampires, daemons, and other witches feel the call and surround her in the library. Protected by Matthew, a vampire, Diana finds herself attracted to him, something that is not just unseemly but outright illegal in the ancient law. One of the most entertaining books I’ve read in a long time, A Discovery of Witches takes place in today’s world and is filled with science and juicy tidbits about the most famous people in history. ~ René
