About this listen

The saga of Victoria Gardella continues as the glorious nineteenth-century city of Rome gives rise to a new threat from the immortal undead . . .

Lady Victoria Gardella Grantworth de Lacy has been a vampire slayer for just over a year, balancing her life as a peer of Society with the dangerous role that takes her out on moonlit streets, stake in hand. She has learned brutal and heartbreaking lessons about the sacrifices that must be made in order to save humanity from the evil that secretly preys upon it, but she has not wavered in her vow to fight on.

Now, in Italy, a powerful vampire is amassing the power to control the souls of the dead. As Victoria races across Europe to stop what could be the most deadly army the Gardellas have ever faced, her unlikely companion is Sebastian Vioget—a man as tempting as he is untrustworthy.

But when Victoria discovers she has been betrayed by one of her most trusted allies, the truth will challenge all her powers as a Venator . . . and as a woman.

I love this series!

Rises the Night, the second book in the Gardella Vampire Chronicles is just as good, if not better than the first, The Rest Falls Away.


Possible Spoilers below...


This book starts off with an emotional and angry Victoria, fresh from the loss of her husband prowling the streets of London in search of something to kill. When she does just that, and realizes it was blood on her hands and not ash, she takes out her Vis Bulla and spends a year grieving and learning to cope with the rage and loss inside her.

A year later, she is back on the streets, but after the destruction of the book, Lilith has retreated to her mountain hide away and taken all of the vampires with her. Max went back to Italy, and Sebastian is still missing. What's a girl to do?

Return to society of course.

Victoria comes out of mourning and accepts an invitation from the Starcasset siblings to visit their estate in the country. If she can't kill vampires she might as well enjoy her nights... right?

This series is packed with action and emotion, some romance, and a few surprises along the way.
It is a definite page turner and one you'll want to read again!

Victoria has finally grown up some in this book. She is no longer the immature young girl she'd been in book one; she understands the severity of her duty, her calling to serve the greater good, even if that means giving up the life she wanted. She's determined and much stronger.

The men in this book are just as tempting as they had been in the first, adding a few more to the mix when she attracts the eye of some new handsome men. Sebastian is even more appealing, and Max of course is just as hard and controlled.

I love this series and think everyone should read it at least once!

I've read it multiple times and now I've listened to it on audible, it just adds that little bit the characters are missing when you can't create the accent in your own mind!

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
