Review: Elusive by Genevieve Cogman

Title: Elusive

Series: Scarlet Revolution #2

Author: Genevieve Cogman

Revolutionary France is full of blood and bite as vampires plot for power.

Eleanor, once a lowly English maid, is now a member of the League of the Scarlet Pimpernel, know for their daring deeds and recusing aristocrat vampires from the guillotine.

This time, Eleanor and the League are investigating the disappearance of Charles-Maurice de Talleyrand, the notorious French statesman and diplomat. But they soon uncover two vampire parties feuding for power and learn Talleyrand’s disppearance is part of a bigger, more dangerous scheme that will throw France into bloody chaos.

We pick back up with Eleanor nearly where we left off, deep in with the League of the Scarlett Pimpernel and the Blakeneys.

Percy is missing in France whilst looking for a diplomat that has gone missing and Eleanor finds herself back there, spying!

I enjoyed this more than the first book, in fact I was totally hooked, full of action and drama!

A few observations from me:

~ Loved all the historical information,
~ I enjoyed how Eleanor is growing,
~ In book 1 I found the Anima part very strange but now it makes so much more sense….and I love it!
~ Charles….oh Charles…how he found a ‘loophole’ I love him! Honestly what happened with love in that day and age was criminal!

Cant wait for book 3! London baby!
