My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is such a great dystopian read that is eerily possible that it could happen! I adore Kella. I adore her for so many reasons but mostly her thoughts. Her relationship with Huck is the best. Then of course there are plot twist that you aren’t expecting! I did not mind losing sleep over reading this book. I want more of this story and more of this authors writing style! You definitely wouldn’t regret reading this book! Now to read the prequel!

Holy moly this was such a fun read. Action-packed plot with Greek mythology thrown in throughout the story. Nik was such a fun character to read. That ending was nail-biting tense. I highly recommend this to anyone who likes Greek mythology.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book took me roughly a week to read and I’d rate it 5/5 stars. It was well written and engaging. The main character Nick and his grandfather were well written and relatable. This story has everything from secret rooms and magical coins to weapons and bad guys. Although it wasn’t as action packed as I was hoping and the beginning didn’t really come to fruition just yet, I look forward to reading the next book in the series. This book follows a young teacher as he learns his family history and takes upon a new role as the guardian of the coin. The dialogue and people were extremely likable and their conversation and the plot itself did not seem forced at all. Overall great quick, easy read. I’d certainly recommend it.

The Guardian’s Legacy, what fantastic first book, of what will be a great series. Fans of Dan Brown, will enjoy how the author tangles Greek mythology, ancient minted coins and modern day technology into a worthy adventure!
I enjoyed meeting this generation’s Guardian,
High school teacher Nik Zosimos, the author has done a great job flushing out a protagonist worthy of following into his next adventure.
In book one, Nik begins his real education, learning more than he ever thought he would from his Grandfather, and before you know it we are chasing him across Europe.
Can’t wait for Book Two in the Coin of Time Series by Luciana Cavallaro.

A book with it all! Mystery, intrigue, escapades, gambles, exploits and time travel!! I have to admit whenever I have been asked what superpower I would have if I could have just one … 9 times out of 10 I have said time travel. This book brings that to life and the author added such rich detail that the imagery comes into your mind so clear. Nik is a great character and so well defined it was as if I have known him for a really long time. In fact all the characters are so well outlined they all become “book friends”. Luciana Cavallaro makes you truly care about her characters and has you wanting a happy ending for them.
The non stop action will have you clinging to this novel until the very end!
Nik is asked to be “guardian” of an ancient coin that has a twin. The twin has yet to be found but Nik’s grandfather thinks he may know where it is and upon traveling to Europe he disappears. Nik goes after him but ends up being chased by several organizations to which he flips the coin and ends up in a different time!
One of my favorite traits of an author is when they add historical, geological and mythological facts in their story that brings you something extra. This author does just that and in a way that makes these timeless stories new and blends them flawlessly with the tale she is telling. Overall this book gave me the great feels! I cannot wait to slip between the covers of book two!

Carson is a warrior. So I made the mistake of reading this book before the first. It explains a lot but once in awhile I had got confused. Carson can’t turn any missions down due to being into debt because of her father. In all it was a good book can’t wait to read first book and the third.

Engaño: A Carson Action Thriller (The DeWitt Agency Adventures Book 2)
By Lance Charnes

This book really kept me on the edge of my seat. I was turning the pages as quickly as I could to find out what was going to happen next. There were twists and turns, action, danger, suspense, some steamy moments, and a diverse cast of interesting characters. Carson is one tough woman, I enjoyed seeing the changes in her as the story goes. When she is sent to bring a Russian dignitaries daughter to her father, Carson finds out that everything is not quite what it seems to be at first glance. This is a must read to find out what happens. I found this book to be intriguing and exciting. I highly recommend this book.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Can I just say Wow! The Guardian’s Legacy was so much fun to read and get lost into its world. If you are a big fan of mythology, history, mystery, then this book is just perfect for you. Nik our main character is tasked with becoming the guardian of an ancient mysterious coin with untold powers that his traditionally his family has protected for many, many years. In order to become the guardian and taking possession of the coin from his grandfather, Nik must train in many different defense arts and even weapons that have not been seen or used for thousands of years! How cool is that?! The mystery you ask: Where did the coin come from, who gave it to the family to safeguard, and where is Grandfather? Read the book but beware, the ending is not as it seems. Cavallaro does a wonderful job of bringing the history aspects to life and the importance of history in our world today. The characters are amazing and believable, and it was so easy to get lost in their world. Join me in reading this wonderful book and relish in the fun of ancient history and mythology.

This book was enthralling, intriguing and like reading a chick action movie. Carson is a bad ass. She acknowledges that she is not getting younger. She unfortunately is stuck doing things she isn’t fond of thanks to her father. Hunting Vyktoria down is one them, but she does it. This is one mission that is wearing and may not be what it seems. Someone is out to get Vyktoria it seems and Carson is determined to find out what is going on. The characters, the action and the story are so well written that you just can’t put it down. You have to keep reading once you start. I am sure glad that my phone is small and I can take it anywhere. This is a must read that will “blow you away!” Highly recommend.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Nik Zosimos is a history teacher in a local high school where his love of history is passed down to his students as it was passed down to him by his grandfather Iasos, over the years, they have shared many a conversation over food and wine, but when his grandfather calls him in the middle of the day and asks him to come over to his house, Nik is a little worried because it isn’t something that his grandfather would usually do. When he arrives at his grandfathers house, nothing is amiss, he is his usual healthy self and in good spirits as they enjoy a meal and some beers together, that is until his grandfather reveals something to Nik which is about to blow his whole world wide open.

As Nik leaves his grandfathers house in a state of astonishment, the first thing he does is get straight onto the internet and do some research to try and verify what his grandfather has told him, but although some things are confirmed, some of the most vital parts aren’t, but he continues to dig and even asks a colleague for some hints about where to look as well. As he researches, more of his grandfathers revelation makes sense, but now he has to make a decision as to whether he wants to find out more.

Nik takes a couple of days to think about this decision and how serious his grandfather had become while telling him the little he was able to confide in him and it set Nik, it is this and the intrigue his grandfathers words caused him which leads to his final choice. As Nik finds out more about the history of his grandfathers responsibilities and what it means for his future, he also discovers how deep the mystery truly goes and to what lengths people have gone to acquire the knowledge he now has. Will Nik be able to rise to the challenge his grandfather has set him and become the latest guardian, or will time be against him? This is a gripping story which transcends time and which you will become engrossed in the twists and turns within it as the characters themselves.

This novel may sound like your typical mafia boss fiction based on the summary, but the characters and storyline are unbelievably developed. Carson gains so much confidence throughout the book and I was cheering her on from start to finish. Then there is Celeste. She will find a way into your heart; if she doesn’t, then I will automatically assume you have no heart.

Between the love, the hate, and the distrust, this story will have you awake at 3AM holding your breath. If you pick up this book, you will not regret it.

I got to say, Carson is back with a strong mind, kick ass attitude, and the force you dare not tick off the wrong way! I truly love how she is written, I am someone who loves a strong female lead in books, but truly, Carson truly gets the victory of taking home the cake, and slicing it before she leaves!

The action takes off simply right away, and Carson is ready to act, and do what ever is needed. She came off as a person to me leaping from the pages, someone who believes in vengeance and justice all in the same level. This takes off after our dear Carson, well has been burnt, but gets by with what well with what a girl has to do. Doing just that brings her deep into something I don’t even think Carson had originally signed up for! The read was thrilling to say the least, action packed, loved the dealings with teh Mafia as well, simply to say, there was never a dull moment in this novel for me!

The writing was amazing, from start to finish! I was pulled in and I could not put this book down, it was good, the suspense was amazing, and the added factors with the Mafia, Crime as well as the characters Carson knows and meets truly made this an addictive read! I have only regret of not finding out of this book series sooner, loved it from start to finish!

This is a must read for sure, and comes from a high recommendation on my end. It was a book that left me thinking even after I had reached the final page and ending of the novel. To say it was put together well is imply a understatement. I was more than impressed and wanting more! Amazing read seriously!

Engaño by Lance Charnes is book two of The Dewitt Agency Adventures. This book has a little bit of everything. There is action, suspense, danger and don’t forget the plot twists.

Carson is fearless and tough. So when she has to pay back loans her father skipped out on, she does what she needs to do. This time she has to track down Viktoriya Baranova, daughter to a Russian cabinet minister, and get her back home. Seems easy on the surface but Carson gets drug in deeper than she expected. She can hold her own but it nothing appears to be as it seems.

I enjoyed this book. Carson is so fierce and independent. All the characters were honestly well developed. I had to keep reading to find out what was going to happen next!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Nik Zosimos teaches high school and leaves before a department meeting due to a strange text followed by silence from his grandfather. Nik’s papou tells him that he could be the next keeper of a 2500-year-old coin, but to think on it to make sure this is what he wants. Nik can not be told more than that before his decision is made. If he chooses no, he will know nothing else. If he chooses yes, he will begin to train.
Nik, like his grandfather is passionate about history. I have never been a fan of history but even I recognized names in this story and got excited. Helen of Troy, Aphrodite, the Iliad, the connections made to so many years earlier, of one small coin that started out as a rock is exciting.
Nik is confronted with a schedule that has him almost double thinking his decision to jump in. He begins to learn the history of the coin, while training in weapons, working out, and reading the vast library at his grandfathers. Nik must be prepared for anything. Including knowing that there may be a second coin that if both coins ended up in the wrong hands could cause catastrophic danger. This was a great read and look forward very much to the next book. Thank you Luciana Cavallaro for making even me excited about history, myths, and tales passed down from one generation to the next.

This was a great read. It is the second book in the DeWitt Agency Adventures. The story is fast paced and will of action, danger and intrigue. You get completely drawn into the story and following the twists and turns that you get taken through.

It is a story about Mafia, drugs and when Carson goes on the case to return a daughter to her father she gets dragged further into the rabbit hole of this world than she ever dreamed possible.

There are a lot of characters to this story and the connection between them can get confusing at first, however I recommend sticking with the book because once you get a grip on the connections and who’s who the story then becomes an amazing read.

The Guardian’s Legacy (The Coin of Time series Book 1) by Luciana Cavallaro was a very interesting and short read for me. I was initially drawn to this novella by its cover, the colors were beautiful, and the drawing intricate. But upon reading the first chapter I found myself fascinated with the characters and the story of the 2500 year old magical coin, that is so powerful it must be guarded at all costs. This novella included lots of Greek mythology, fantastic characters, and an amazing plot that will keep the readers reading until the very last word. I loved this story so much that I initially just wanted to read for a little bit and found myself reading the whole thing on one sitting. So if you want to find out if this magical coin falls into the wrong hands you’ll have to read The Guardian’s Legacy (The Coin of Time series Book 1) by Luciana Cavallaro for yourself.

This has been one of the most exciting books I have read in a long time. The plot twists and turns of this book are layered with action, suspense, and intrigue. Carson in turn is like no character I have experienced before. She is sexy, worldly, trained and skilled with weapons and hand-to-hand, and extremely clever. An ex-cop she is taking care of her fathers debt to the mafia and everything escalates from there. Her attempt to bring back the Russian cabinet ministers daughter Viktoriya takes an unexpected turn and leads her chasing the girl thru the Underworld. Getting a glimpse of Carson in action makes this novel quite a page turner that is hard to put down.

If you are a fan of action/adventure, history, and suspense, you will LOVE The Guardian’s Legacy (The Coin of Time Series Book 1) by Luciana Cavallaro. I am a fan of authors like Dan Brown, and movies like National Treasure, and this book fits in nicely with those works. An unlikely, but likeable, main character receives a call to action which sets off events that will carry you away from the first page. There is something for every reader in this book: action, adventure, history, myth, suspense, and family secrets. This is a fast-paced read that ended too soon, but thankfully, it is only book one. This author’s writing style is captivating and well-done, and sucks you right into the story. I very highly recommend this book and am awaiting book 2.

The Guardian’s Legacy was a really good read! I enjoyed so many aspects of this quick novel. The history, the Greek retellings, the entire pace of the novel. So much was there to keep me entertained and hold my focus while reading. The Greek mythology was a amazing to me. I love reading anything that has to do Greek history and their gods, and the fact that this book and the premise of the story was based around them was incredible to me. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this novel and I can’t wait to see what happens next in the next installment of this series!

This is a great first book in the Coin of Time Series. I love how action packed it is and how the author really brings history to life. Hearing about things that happened long ago gives this book a unique twist, as well as being full of action ots educational as well.

Nik thinks he is an ordinary school teacher but how wrong he was. After his grandfather explains that they are guardian’s of a special coin that they must protect at all costs. Weaving the story through Ancient Greece and Mythology you really get drawn into the magic of the coin.

But then things change. When Nik’s grandfather goes missing and Interpol turn up asking questions Nik starts to wander if the job of protecting this precious coin is as dangerous as his grandfather made out.

This book is left on a cliff hanger and I can’t wait to continue this story.

This is the second thrilling installment in THe Dewitt Agency Adventures series from Lance Charnes. I did find this one a tad difficult to get into at first because it was a touch on the slow side for the take off. It was detailed and hard to get through the set up but once I got through that and we were off on the adventure and the drama took off this book had me absolutely hooked and I could not put it down until I found out how things would work out for our MC. One thing I really love about this book is how much the main character, Carson, is a badass woman. She really is a strong female lead and I loved how that came across and flowed throughout the story. It made me really love her and the book that much more. The world building made me feel as if I was parting right there in the gorgeous coasts of Spain with her and I loved every moment that I held my breath while she made her way through the suspenseful moments. I look forward to seeing what will come next!
