The Last Magician meets A Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue in this thrilling tale filled with magic and set in the mysterious Carpathian Mountains where a girl must hunt down Vlad the Impaler’s cursed ring in order to save her father.Some legends never die…
Traveling with her treasure-hunting father has always been a dream for Theodora. She’s read every book in his library, has an impressive knowledge of the world’s most sought-after relics, and has all the ambition in the world. What she doesn’t have is her father’s permission. That honor goes to her father’s nineteen-year-old protégé—and once-upon-a-time love of Theodora’s life—Huck Gallagher, while Theodora is left to sit alone in her hotel in Istanbul.
Until Huck arrives from an expedition without her father and enlists Theodora’s help in rescuing him. Armed with her father’s travel journal, the reluctant duo learns that her father had been digging up information on a legendary and magical ring that once belonged to Vlad the Impaler—more widely known as Dracula—and that it just might be the key to finding him.
Journeying into Romania, Theodora and Huck embark on a captivating adventure through Gothic villages and dark castles in the misty Carpathian Mountains to recover the notorious ring. But they aren’t the only ones who are searching for it. A secretive and dangerous occult society with a powerful link to Vlad the Impaler himself is hunting for it, too. And they will go to any lengths—including murder—to possess it.

My Review:
The Lady Rogue was such a fun read! I first heard about this book from and friend and since I've enjoyed other books by this author I requested it. I started reading it while waiting before an appointment and found myself sucked into the story.
The world-building is really well done, I feel like I stepped back through time and was right there with Theodora.
Theodora herself is a bit of a wild one. She's an aspiring adventurer who always gets left behind when her father goes on an expedition and she's so spunky and entertaining. Then there is Huck, the boy Theodora grew up with and fell for who was sent away after they shared a kiss on Theo's last birthday. She hasn't heard from him since and suddenly he's back in her life and his charm is frustrating yet those old feelings have a way of coming back.
With a missing father, an annoyingly hot sidekick, and only her father's coded journal to show her the way Theo will finally get the adventure she's always dreamed of - but with people chasing her who will do anything to find Vlad the Impaler's lost ring adventure is about to come with a heavy dose of danger.
Overall, if you love sassy adventurers, cute boys with tons of charisma, secret societies, and a historical adventure through dark castles and misty mountainside villages you're going to love The Lady Rogue!
