Review: The Lady Rogue

The Lady Rogue by Jenn Bennett
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Theodora would like nothing more than to travel with her father on his treasure hunting missions. Unfortunately, he has a habit of leaving her with companions and seeking adventure on his own or with his protégé, Huck. She is not the easiest person to get along with and her most recent companion has abandoned her in Istanbul. Soon after, Huck arrives and asks her to help him find her father. She now gets to go on a treasure-hunting adventure, but with her father’s safety at stake, it is not fun and games. Will Theodora and Huck be able to unravel the mystery her father was following?

The Lady Rogue is a stand-alone gothic adventure that feels like a modern mystery. These two young people are traveling through the Carpathian Mountains and dodging mysterious men and women who have nefarious dealings with the occult. There is a bit of romance between the two protagonists, but the gist of the story is an adventure set in the early 20th century. Bennett has taken lore about Vlad the Impaler and weaved it into a compelling read. I believe readers who enjoy historical fiction or adventures will enjoy this book, even if they don’t normally like the other genre.
