This was a very clever way of utilizing shared experiences. I feel that the author connected the mortals in the book with the reader by reviving the myths of the gods. The characters were wonderfully described, and I found myself looking up the different names to brush up on history. In Dio in the Dark by Rizwan Asad, the author majestically resurrects the gods to human form. We all know some of the mythology connected to the Greek gods of Mount Olympus. Will he find his father in time to stop The Darkness? Will he be in time to save us mortals? That is what he is supposed to do, right? When Zeus goes missing and Dio feels the encroaching Darkness his father has been talking about, he goes looking for Zeus. He stays out at night, going from one party to the next.
Then there is Dionysus, the god of wine and debauchery, the son of Zeus and Semele. Imagine for a moment that the great Zeus, wielder of firebolts, was a garbage disposal man in Toronto. Imagine the pantheon of Greek gods living on earth, trying to blend in with humanity, keeping up with social media, texting, and tweeting. Reviewed by Ronél Steyn for Readers' Favorite Lya is an intelligent, strong-willed woman with a big heart and I loved her. The characters are wonderfully developed and are exciting. I loved how she used introspection to make me connect with them, as it gave me insight into the story. I felt the lust, passion, love, loathing, rage, despair, joy, and satisfaction in her characters. This made me feel as if I was next to each character, watching their moves in every scene. The scenes are extremely well depicted and pleasing. She narrates the story from the perspective of her two protagonists, switching between the present and the past with ease. Her style of writing is intense while her imaginative skills are outstanding. Is everything as rosy as Lya thinks it is with Cade? Does he love her or is he up to something else? Find out more in Whitney Hill’s Secrets and Truths.Įnthusiasts of paranormal novels with a touch of steamy romance will love Whitney Hill’s Secrets and Truths. Lya then stumbles into Cade (a vampire) who not only presents her with an opportunity to seize control of her life and destiny but also a chance to love again. Now a bounty hunter, her life was largely dictated by strict rules from the vampires, Othersiders, and even werewolves. She had fallen in love with one of the royal blood and consequently was exiled to North Carolina. It is for this reason that she had been exiled from her home. Creatures of her nature were seen as less deserving by the Othersiders (the elf community), despite being one of their own. Having been born a half-blood elf, this was more of a lifetime obligation than a choice on her part. Lya Desmarais might have been many things, but she was certainly not a free woman.
