Acheron

If you love Greek mythology and paranormal romance, you'll love the 15th installment and long novel, Acheron. This was about Acheron's birth and arrival into the human realm, when he'd been mistreated by his parents, despised by his twin brother, and loved by his older sister. We also founnd out about the cruel treatment he endured in Atlantis and his entanglement with Artemis, a virgin Greek Goddess, who gave birth to his daughter.  After he died, he was reborn as an Atlantean God and how the Dark-Hunters were formed and created by Artemis, and more of his mother's love and sacrifice to keep him safe. In the present day, he met Soteria Kalfiera, a human mortal who took his breath away, how he protected her from danger, and fell in love with her. But when her life was in danger and died, she made an ultimate sacrifice and became a goddess herself to spend the rest of her life with him.  What a great paranormal romance.

For starters, this was a long book to read about Acheron's life from slave to an immortal god.  This was a powerful paranormal romance about a power struggle between two realms, the gods and humans. In a way, I loved the past and present-day Greek culture in the strong novel. I did feel bad on how Acheron "Ash" were mistreated and used as a love slave, endured many tortures, and how he put his life on his line. I loved how he came out swinging as a stronger god, when he met Soteria and protected her as well. I didn't like Styx or his parents either. I liked Soteria and how she made him a better man in a way. This would hold you from the first page to the end with your heart pumping and send your pulse racing.

Lost Empire

If you love fast-paced action adventure novels, this one's for you. In the second installment of the Fargo series by Clive Cussler, The Lost Empire, Remi and Sam Fargo dive for treasures off Madagascar and Tanzania in Africa, when they came close to danger from a secret Aztec military army, who wanted something to not be exposed and not revealed. When they get closer, the more in danger they were  in and tried to be stopped by the Aztecs. Every step of the way, they did dig deeper into the history between the bell clipper from a lost ship, and the hidden meaning behind the symbolism. This would keep you up and off your seats for a fast read.

This was another fantastic action-adventure novel above and below the surface of the water. I love the marine theme and another NUMA series. I loved the central locations of Africa and the Aztecs for this series as well. I believe the Fargo couple make a formidable and excellent team. I did care about them, when they breached the rim of the mystery. This made for a great read, when you want to go on an adventure of your own.  Great drama, intense action for an explorable adventure, and plenty of suspense on every page.

Button Holed

If you love good cozies, you'll enjoy this new series by a new author. In Kylie Logan's Button-Holed, the first book in the Button Box series, Josie Giancola lived in Chicago and owned a button store. She collected them, mended them and sold them.  But when actress Kate Franciscus came to her store for a button for her wedding gown, things turned up the heat. First her store was ransacked before Kate's visit, then she was murdered in Josie's store. And it was up for Josie to find out who wanted her dead and who killed her. But as she got closer and teamed up with her ex Kaz, someone had it in for Josie to find out. And she went back to North Carolina to pick up the missing pieces of this deadly puzzle. A good read.

This was an interesting and quirky new cozy series to try. The subject of a button shop was quite amusing, since it's a collectible commodity. The backdrop of Chicago was priceless for the storyline. I enjoy Josie's interest in a button shop. Kate was an interesting character as well. For Kaz, he kinda grew on you. Great storyline and nice amount of tension for this quick read.

Check out this fantastic book today!

Confession

If you love gripping legal thrillers, this is the one for you. In Confession, Travis Boyette, a dying man comes into a Kansas church and confesses that he killed a girl, eight years ago, when an innocent man is on Death Row, set to be executed by lethal injection in Texas. Keith Schroeder and Boyette travel to Texas to stop the execution, while Donte Drumm's lawyers tries everything to save his life. On the Day of the execution, Robbie Flak goes all out and asks for a stay, esp. when Boyette is taped to confess the murder and where he hid the body in Missouri. Everyone was skeptic and shocked, when they believe they got the right guy. After his execution, he's exonerated post-humorous, while Boyette is on the run and later caught. I can't tell you what happens in between. It's a great page-turner.
