Summary: Victoria Holt is amazing!
Review: Lenore lives and grows up in the house of the Sallongers along with her grandmother whom is very skilled at dressmaking. The Sallongers have had a long time feud with an extended part of their family, the St. Allengeres, about which of the families is the best in the silk making business. When Lenore marries one of the Sallonger sons a mysterious chain of events unfolds involving seduction, greed, murder and revenge. I have only started reading Victoria Holt's books and I am hooked. She is an excellent mystery-romance writer and am determined to read all of her books. I highly recommend her books, especially for those romantics out there.

Summary: Not the Best Victoria Holt, but Still Pretty Good!
Review: Lenore lives in "The Silk House" with her grandmother at the top floor. They aren't servants, but they aren't family. The owners of the Silk House are silk makers vying against a rival family in France. Lenore falls in love and marries one of the sons of the house, but he commits suicide right after the marriage. Or did he? His brother wants her, too, but she will have none of it. She opens a dressmaking shop in London, hoping to escape the past, but she soon learns that she can never escape the silk vendetta.This Victoria Holt book isn't as interesting as the others. There is also a part with a dog dying that bothers me (I am very sensitive in regard to cruelty to animals). Also, the "bad-guy" is really obvious. Still, it is a good read and I would recommend it.

Summary: The Silk Vandetta
Review: The two main characters in The Silk Vandetta by Victoria Holt are Lenore and her grandmother. They spent all their lives together. They were the only real family they had. One incident that made me really like the book was when Lenore's grandmother found Lenore's father. Lenore then met her father for the first time in her life. When her father found out that she wanted to open a branch of her clothing shop in Paris but she and her grandmother didn't have the money to do it, her father offered to pay for all the expences. At first her pride kept her from letting him pay. But after time her grandmother and sister-in-law wore her down. She then accepted the money from her father so that she could live out her dream. This book took me in from the first page. I love the discription. The scenes it describes seem to jump off the page and into reality. The charcters are so lovable and real. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves romance and suspence.
