an absorbing and dramatic audiobook

set against the background of the Roman empire and amidst the streets of Pompeii and the shadow of Mt Vesuvius, we meet Amara, a freed slave, engaged to an important Roman. she has come a long way from her position in the Wolf Den brothel in book 1 of the same name and this book picks up immediately after the events of book 2 The House with the Golden Door. Amara's status always seems to hang in the balance though with her previous owner present as a menacing threat to revert her back to her old days. There is so much drama in this book based around the natural disaster of Mt Vesuvius. Its eruption causes chaos and shapes the course of events for all and bringing so much loss. an absolutely absorbing listen.

Was so sorry when it ended, loved it

I saw the final book on an audible offer, decided to try from the beginning, was unconvinced at first but I loved the characters the story, I was swept along with it and felt quite bereft when it ended

Perfect Conclusion … Or Is It?!

I loved this trilogy so much. The narrator is the perfect choice for this series. I am going to miss the characters so much (I will have to listen again from book 1 I think) - however, I feel there may be a fourth book, or perhaps a new series, based on one of the other characters (my personal favourite)! Time will tell.

Beautifully written- excellent research. Very entertaining

All in all a 10/10 from me. I was sceptical at first- a book written about Pompeii? There have been so many, but this was excellent. The reading voice was very pleasant indeed and mellifluous and the story completely enveloped me. So that I found myself listening to it at every opportunity. A really good historical fiction audiobook. Now I feel at a loss because it has ended!!!

Great book

I loved it, living the eruption of the Vesuvius through Amara’s eyes is a great experience. Even better than the two previous ones.

beautifully done

the only problem with this was the very noticable pauses from the narrator mid sentence. regardless, this was so well written that ill be listening to it again. and again. and again.
