Customer Reviews

The Judas Kiss is a book I've read several times and enjoy it every single time.

This book is one of the best mystery/romance I've ever read. I have read it many times and know that I will read it again.

Remarkable book

This story has several "phases," alternating happy and miserable. Interesting story with a double surprise ending. Great reading.

Excellent and Romantic Reading

Of course, Victoria Holt never disappoints, and this book is no exception. While it is not my favorite novel of hers (On The Night of the Seventh Moon and Bride of Pendorric are) this is a wonderful book with an interesting, intelligent heroine. Worth reading for the elaborate descriptions of the Bavarian forests, the mysterious secondary characters, as well as the romantic hero Conrad. This will sweep you off your feet -- like a fairy tale for older readers...enjoy!

The Mask of the Enchantress

This book was the best of hers that I have read so far! i have read 10 of her books and i have been pleased with every single one of them! This one i liked becasue it keeps you waiting the whole entire book to find out whats going to happen next! i couldn't put this book down i kept on trying to predict what was going to happen next and than you would be surprised with something else! When I read this book i felt like i was actually their watching everything take place! Its a great book taht i think everyone would enjoy! i let some of my friends read it and they thought the exact same thing!

One of the best books ever!

I think this book is a beautiful piece of Victoria Holt's! It's so romantic, and I think everyone should read it who's a hopeless romantic like I am. Pippa goes to Conrad's country, and is surprised when she gets there. I loved the mysterious suspenseful parts. They made me keep reading until I finished it. It took me about 8 hours to finish. I recommend that if you haven't read it, you need to. I'll hopefully get it for Christmas. It'll make a great gift!

I LOVE this book.
