Painter of the Damned (Painted Souls Book 2) by Rob Samborn- review by Stephanie Driskill

Painter of the Damned by Rob Samborn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Nick and Julia O’Conner are on the run trying to return home to the United States to put an end to the hell of a vacation that they have experienced: murder, arrest, fights, running from the cops. The O’Conner’s were just about to reach the American consulate when the two are arrested and taken into custody. Julia is released from custody and gets to follow along as Nick is transferred back to Venice where he is detained for murder. Nick tells Julia to go find Carlo, their friend in Venice, and have him help to find an attorney for Nick. Little do they know that Carlo is the new Painter for the Order and warden of the dammed spirits that reside in the painting Paradise. We get flashbacks of Nick’s previous life and find out that he may or may not know the location of a book lost that can bring about world-changing power. Will della Porta find be able to use Nick to find the book? Does Nick remember where the book is? Should Julia just return to the States by herself and not believe this nonsense that her husband speaks of? Read the book because I give no spoilers into the outcome! It is a great read full of thrills and mystery and mayhem! The characters are wonderfully written and I find myself able to quickly fall into step with them and experience what they are. This book had me on the edge of my seat and I highly recommend that one reads it!
