Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Eva's Angel takes readers on a journey to Italy, where Eva Hicks arrives seeking love and art. In the enchanting, ever-changing light of Tuscany, she instead encounters gunshots echoing across the terraced hillsides, crosses paths with the enigmatic painter Nye, and grapples with a sense of her own misplaced faith.

Among the other students, Matt grows increasingly suspicious of their mentor, Nye. Is he inappropriately involved with one of his students, and how might he be tied to the mysterious murders of tourists in the region? As Matt and Eva's relationship deepens, they set out to uncover the truth, only to stumble upon more than they had anticipated.

Tantalising... Part thriller, part rite of passage, part evocative journey
