A Hidden Fire (Elemental Mysteries #1)
Now he and Beatrice De Novo follow a twisted maze that leads from the archives of a university library, though the fires of Renaissance Florence, and toward a confrontation hundreds of years in the making.
Ah, the book that started it all. It's been over five years since this book was published. FIVE YEARS? How did that happen?I still love this book. I still love Giovanni and Beatrice. I still love the world this book began. I love book-loving vampires...(I'm only going with Gandy bc he's a reader favorite and... glasses. Ah, who am I kidding? He's super hot.)And librarians who are not impressed......with your specialness.Also FIRE.And twisty, sneaky villains.And all sorts of fun stuff.Yeah, still
"Tell the truth, Giovanni Vecchio." A mischievous look came to her eye. "You have a butler, a cool car, and I've only seen you at night..."He froze, tension suddenly evident in the set of his shoulders. Beatrice leaned closer and whispered, "You're Batman, aren't you?"This debut novel by Elizabeth and the first in the Elemental Mysteries series was published last October.

It isn't really a paranormal romance. There is romance, but in this first book it is more in the background or a set-up for the future.
I am going have a hard time explaining why I enjoyed Hidden Fire so much. As a romance it is mild and up front - and without being too spoilerish - I have to say that while the ending is hopeful, Hidden Fire is just the first episode and the story continues in This Same Earth, just so that no one expects all the elements of the story to wrap up in a single book.I really enjoyed the slowly building relationship between the gorgeous and unusual book scholar Giovanni Vecchio and library student
