Publisher's Summary:
"This is a tale about good and evil and the restorative role of the arts in our world."
UCLA art professor Coco Rhodes knows little about her family's association with the ancient clandestine organization The Allegiance and wants to keep it that way. She dislikes secrets - they're a painful reminder of her childhood experiences that were erased as a result of her parents' tragic deaths when she was four years old.
After a brutal attempt on her life, and the arrival of a birthday letter from her dead mother, Coco demands explanations from her brother, Christopher, a high-powered DC lawyer and member of the Allegiance.
Christopher guides Coco to her birthplace, Italy, insisting she'll find her answers there. Enter the enigmatic Gabriel, a powerful warlock with a vampire father, and the ethereal Prudence, keeper of the Allegiance.
When a close friend is murdered, Coco's life takes a dark turn. With only a faded portrait torn from a lost sketchbook, and one of her mother's unfinished paintings, Coco unravels clues from her past, in the hope of saving those she loves.

A Great Start to a Fresh New Paranormal Story
When Coco Rhodes was four years old her parents were killed in relation to The Allegiance. Because of that she has done whatever she can to walk away from them. But an attempt on her life has to talking to her brother trying to figure out what his going on. He tells her to head to Italy where she finds herself in the middle of vampires, warlocks, and her own history.
Coco is going to learn that her life is a lie and that there are bigger thing going on than she initially knows about. The main thing being that The Allegiance has been trying to keep her safe all of these years. This is a huge world that Coco has found herself in and it will quickly get confusing with this cast. I loved the path that her motherâs paintings take her on.
I really enjoyed this story with the paranormal and the wonderful locations. I canât wait to see what happens to Coco next in The Devil and the Muse.
I received A Secret Muse from Author Marketing Experts for free. This has in no way influenced my opinion of this book.
Interesting read
I found this book artistic and interesting, but also disjointed and choppy in theme. Interesting characters, but the story was not fluid, and I had difficulty following.
An entertaining story
This was an entertaining read featuring vampires and magic and paranormal romance. There's a lot of action, too, and a compelling plot. Recommended for fans of the genre.
Elegant and captivating! I could hardly put it down ...
Elegant and captivating! I could hardly put it down! The beginning was a bit confusing as there was so much back story and characters laid out but this is precisely what made the story so rich and different from other fantasy narratives. Looking forward to the next installment!
Dark and delicious! A definite must read!
As a loyal fan of the vampire genre, I tend to have somewhat high expectations... this book did not disappoint. I found the characters to be intelligent, dark, complex, and at times charmingly vulnerable. I am definitely looking forward to reading the rest of the series.
