Vespertine by Margaret Rogerson
4.0
rating: 3.5; rounded up for goodreads:
Artemisia is studying in a convent that gets attacked by possessed soldiers—in the fight, she ends up awakening an old (evil?) spirit, a revenant, that shares her body. This all sounds so confusing, but made sense within the book, I swear!
I'll start with the fact that I was happy this book didn't have a romance. She's sharing her body with the revenant (very the Host) and she can't trust it...why would there be a romance??
The descriptions were very atmospheric and I felt immersed; however, I felt a slight disconnect occationally and I'm just not sure why. This made it take a while for me to get through the book.
Overall, I enjoyed it and think it was a fun fantasy/paranormal read.
