A Hidden Fire
A Hidden Fire | Elizabeth Hunter
"No secret stays hidden forever." A phone call from an old friend sets Dr. Giovanni Vecchio back on the path of a mystery he'd abandoned years before. He never expected a young librarian could hold the key to the search, nor could he have expected the danger she would attract. Now he and Beatrice De Novo will follow a twisted maze that leads from the archives of a university library, through the fires of Renaissance Florence, and toward a confrontation they never could have predicted. A Hidden Fire is a paranormal mystery/romance for adult readers. It is the first book in the Elemental Mysteries Series. "A tantalyzing paranormal romance, full of mystery and intrigue. One of the best books I've read in a long time. Sign me up for book 2!" -Nichole Chase, author of Mortal Obligation, Book One of The Dark Betrayal Trilogy

I read a lot of romance YA as a teen since I was in high school in the Twilight era, but as an adult it was A Hidden Fire by Elizabeth Hunter and Master of Crows by Grace Draven that got me back into reading and hooked me on romance.

ShananigansReads One of my aunt‘s many Harlequin romances and an entirely inappropriate age. She had many books when I was a kid and it made me happy to share my collection with her in my adulthood. 3y
kimmypete1 I haven‘t read either of those authors. Will have to check them out. 3y

This is a book I read because it came in the #whodunitbymail postal book swap (originated with @Marmie7 and last read by @BookishBelle.) I enjoyed it more than I would have expected - future librarians, romance in the archives, mysterious documents, and vampires that always have giant personal libraries. There were a few points where I was planning to stop when the next chapter ended but then something would happen and I had to keep going!

ReadingEnvy Sending to @Mdargusch next week! 6y
HardcoverHearts That sounds fun and something that I would never pick up on my own so thank you for posting! 6y
ReadingEnvy @HardcoverHearts exactly! I don't usually give naked man chest books a second glance. 6y

HardcoverHearts @ReadingEnvy Haha- EVER! Usually that‘s and instantaneous hard pass for me. 6y
Marmie7 I'm glad you enjoyed it! This was a different cover than the one I thought I was getting-I don't read romance😝 The blurb is what made me choose this book. 6y
ReadingEnvy @Marmie7 I think it got lost along the way, so possible upgrade? 😁 6y
ReadingEnvy @HardcoverHearts don't get me wrong there IS romance in this but it's described as paranormal romance-mystery 6y
BookishBelle @ReadingEnvy “naked man chest books” Lol!! 😂😂😂 6y

I really liked this #whodunitbymail pick! The writing, plot, and characterization were good. I was a little let down my the ending but I suppose that gets resolved eventually. May have to put the next one on my tbr. I don‘t have a pic and I‘ve already sent it along on its way.

Hey #Whodunitbymail Ladies!! I ordered a copy of this book and a new notebook to replace the ones that got lost. Of the ladies who have read it already (I don‘t have a list with me or I‘d tag you), do you have a copy of the review you wrote in the previous notebook? Would you be willing to send it to me so I can put it in the new notebook for @Marmie7 ?

Marmie7 That's so nice of you! Thank you for replacing these😊 6y

Totally loved this paranormal #romantsy novel. A fun vampire 🧛‍♀️ meets wannabe librarian story. A #blameitonLitsy guilty pleasure. When I wasn‘t reading this weekend, I was downtown by the water. The weather was glorious.

JaclynW Looks lovely! 7y
Dragon Thanks @JaclynW that weekend the weather was so sunny and quite warm. Totally not like that this weekend. 😀🐉 7y
JaclynW @Dragon Take it while you can get it! It's snowing today where I live. ❄❄❄ 7y
Dragon Thanks @JaclynW I guess I really can‘t complain as it‘s not snowing or raining here. It was just grey and misty. Hope your snow melts quickly! 😀🐉 7y
JaclynW @Dragon We are used to snow sticking around from November to March (sometimes earlier, sometimes later). It's just what we do here. ☺ 7y

This book with mystery, intrigue, vampires,contains Glimpses of Florence during time of the House of Medici, libraries, ancient rare books & letters books with a dash of humor, make it a different read for me. Especially the vampire world... #blameitonLitsy #blameitonwhodunitbymail bookmail. 😃❤️

@JoeStalksBeck I have to admit that I was a little skeptical about this book when I saw the main character was a vampire. Paranormal isn't my normal genre. But.. ..your post-its throughout this book make it totally worthwhile!! #whodunnitbymail #whodunitbymail

JoeStalksBeck I have 2 whodunits now. I'm confused. Should you have another one from me or is it September? 🤷‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️ 7y
My_novel_obsession I am tracking that we should all have our second book and have them read and sent to the next person so they can read it in September. I will get the third book from you which I will read in September- I think that's right! Lol. @JoeStalksBeck 7y
JoeStalksBeck Ok I need to send you one now and one in September? Good lord. Lmao! I'm sending books tomorrow! 7y
JoeStalksBeck Sorry. Having the two confused me 7y
My_novel_obsession @JoeStalksBeck so have you received and read three books for this thing yet? I read Still Mine in July, I'm reading A Hidden Fire for August. So I don't need my third book from you until the first week in September. So you have plenty of time. I have a spreadsheet and If I have it set up correctly I should be reading The Three Evangelists in September? And then I think Behind Closed Doors in October. @JoeStalksBeck 7y
My_novel_obsession For some reason I have stuck in my head that by the 10th of each month we should start reading our book for that month 7y
JoeStalksBeck Dang! A spreadsheet!? You are awesome! Seriously, I need to do that! Ok, I'll send 3 Evangelists for September ❤️ thank you! 7y
My_novel_obsession @JoeStalksBeck want me to send you the spreadsheet? It helps me keep track of what I should expect in the mail and what I should be reading for the month? 7y
JoeStalksBeck Really ? That would be great! Do you have my email? 7y
My_novel_obsession I do - I think from the whodunit emails. It's on its way - I modified it - it shows what books you will read in each month. It also has a separate tab for everyone's address and b-day @JoeStalksBeck Let me me know if you get it and I had the right email! 7y

Paranormal romance between an age old vampire and a newbie (or rather to be) librarian. Picked it up primarily for the latter but this was good. Not overly done with the smut, the descriptors, or the emotions. It took a little bit to find its feet but the characters are distinct and clear. I also didn't want to punch the heroine in the face, which can sometimes be my reaction some books in this genre, so that's a winner right there :) Bk 1 of 4.

So after driving y'all crazy with all the novella postings, it comes down to this: I clearly love this series. I read the Elemental World series first and while that wasn't a problem, I wish I had gone in order and read Elemental Mysteries first. I also wish I had ignored my distaste for novellas and read those as I went, instead of in one batch, as they added info it would have been nice to have. If you love fantasy, check this series out!

Read the omnibus of all 5 Elemental Mystery novels (which isn't showing up in the search feature), much better than I was expecting. Recommend if you're into supernatural romance. Omnibus available on Scribd.
