Angelique and the Demon


Angelique and the Demon is the 8th book in the series.  Here is a summary:

Angélique is denied the peace of mind she has longed for when the beautiful but unsettling Ambrosine, Duchess de Maudriborg, and her entourage of King's girls are shipwrecked on the shores of Goldsboro.

She is threatened by strange forces and by a mysterious band of pale strangers creating discord and mayhem in the region.

Angélique and her friends combat poison, skulduggery and treachery as she battles for the life of her closest friend Abigail who is awaiting the birth of her first born.

Mesmerised by the compelling wiles of the brilliant and charming Ambrosine, our heroine's fey instincts are clouded and her judgement impaired.

Unsure of love, not knowing whom to trust and fearful for the safety of her children and friends, Angélique must discover the ringleader of the evil that threatens them before it is too late.

Surrounded by shadowy figures, isolated from her friends and entangled in a web of deception, she must confront her most chilling foe.


1973



also from 1973



1975 - I think the size of her sleeves is competing with other parts of her body!



This is a Russian edition (year unknown).  It definately has a different vibe to it!

I have a copy of Angelique in Barbary that has an *udderly* delicious cover. I'll send it to you when I have a chance to scan it. Although you probably already have it no doubt.

I just picked up one of the books on friday last not knowing anything about it from a second hand book shop. Nice to see it here.

Welcome to my blog collection of book covers. In the course of looking for books on ebay, I have come across some very interesting book covers. I didn't always end up buying the book, so the covers shown here aren't necessarily ones that I own. Just ones I liked, disliked or thought were funny, cheesy, etc. I'm no expert when it comes to creating stuff like this, so we'll see how well this format works. Suggestions are always appreciated!
