"The Historian" by Elizabeth Kostov I just purchased this book a few days ago. All of my friends were telling me "you really have to read this book..it will keep you enthralled." So, I finally went out and bought it. I am not near finished with it yeat, but it is a very good book so far. For anyone that likes suspense, this is the book for you to read. Basically, it is about this girl that becomes involved in an ancient secret regarding Vlad the Impaler...apparently he never died. It is supposed to be a weird twist on the vampire myth. I will post agin when I finish it to let you all knw if the whole book is good.

Oh wow, I have totally forgotten to update this thread. LOL! I finished this book a long time ago...just goes to show you how busy I have been.
I was actually a little disappointed with the ending. I am not trying to deter anyone from reading it, because it really is an entertaining book. I just felt that the ending fell a little short of a masterpiece.

I absolutely adore this book! I have to agree that the ending wasn't the best but after I read it I started researching a lot of the things in the book and now I want to be a historian. Strange, I know.
