Forced to make a heartbreaking decision between the man she
loves and the family she thought long dead, Gianna Marino returns to
London—obligated to vampire coven leader, Mattias Vitale while thoughts of
another are fresh on her mind.
When word is received of suspicious vampire activity, she is
assigned to an investigation that leads her to Greece, where she discovers
Dante—Mattias’s recently resigned second in command, and a dangerous prophecy.
Dante Diakos is the last of a pure immortal bloodline—a
descendant of the gods, and he intends to invoke the power of the entire
pantheon on the eve of the Blood Moon which occurs once every millennia. If he
attains the legendary abilities, he’ll be the most powerful being on earth, and
intends for her to rule by his side.
When the fate of world hangs in the balance, a decision is
placed in Gianna’s hands…Become an eternal slave to Dante’s will or lose everyone
she’s ever loved.
Jae Lynne Davis delivers a hot action pact urban fantasy
with a touch of romance. After having a few issues with the first book in this
series I went into this book from a different viewpoint. I kept reminding
myself this would be an urban fantasy with some hot sex and the author not only
delivers that but this time around I really enjoyed the storyline as a matter
of fact, I couldn’t quit reading it.
Caution below you'll find a spoiler or two sorry!!
Dante and Allyn’s story was awesome. I loved the detail and
how the author kept an exciting pace while telling it. Dante is blinded by his
love for Gianna, so much so that he would go to great lengths to make her his
Goddness. All the while Allyn will stop at nothing to try to show him that
Gianna is wrong for him. Will Dante get his Goddness or will he let his loose
his true love by his blindness? I really felt romance between this couple and I
really liked Allyn. I found myself rooting for her the whole time.
Gianna is pretty much the same person as she was in the
first book except for the fact she is now with Mattias and not too happy about it,
even though he loves her and is good to her. Everything is going fine until
Mattias decides to put Gianna into a position that she finds life threating. Will
she stay with him after he threw her to the wolf? Well, you’ll have to read to
find out.
At the end you’ll find Gianna getting a huge surprise, it
was one I didn’t see coming. The thing is some of you romance readers will be
kind of pissed off about it because this one has another huge cliffhanger. *Rubbing
hands together* Now pardon me while I go bug an author about leaving me with this
huge cliffhanger. *crying* I want Gianna to have her true romance LOL…I need that next book now!!!To Be
Continued LOL…

I really enjoyed reading "Mythic". I think Jae Lynn Davies did a wonderful job of giving us a look at the world and characters she created. I had no problem picking my favorite characters good and bad from the beginning. That said with the wonderful twists and turns, some of which caught me totally by surprise, had me rethinking a couple of them and looking for a stake. I am still rooting for you Nicholas!!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see what Dante is up to. Dark, dangerous, cunning and he is hitting on the top bad guy Mattias's girl Gianna!? There is something special about her, she is attracting some powerful vamps. Nicholas, Mattias and Dante. Hmmm you say Mattias threw her to the wolf?
"Blood Moon" is ordered and I am stalking the Mail Man as I write. *giggles*
Yep, he does so to speak. If you loved the first one you'll really love this one. The story line is really deep and well explained. Rooting for I see. Me too!! Oh, your in for a treat.
