Covert Threat (A Gray Ghost Novel, book 5) by Amy McKinley – Review by Angela Hayes

Covert Threat (Gray Ghost #5)Covert Threat by Amy McKinley
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

Covert Threat is the fifth book in the Gray Ghosts series by Amy McKinley- and what a gripping instalment this has been. Sometimes in a series, by the fifth book things are getting a bit stale and starting to peter out as the momentum is slowing down, and the story is much the same as the previous book- BUT this is definitely NOT the case here. This series just seems to get better and better the further into it we get. This book is just as gripping, if not more than the other four books in the series. And that can be attributed to Ms. McKinley’s keen imagination and writing skills.
While this could be read as a standalone, I really recommend reading the rest of the series too- in order to get all the backstories for the recurring characters, background information, and other important details- which will really enhance your reading experience of this book. Not to mention the other books are superb stories in their own rights! You really can’t go wrong with Ms. McKinley!
This story has so much going on in it- right from the beginning I was drawn into the action, completely under Ms. McKinley’s spell. Jules and Trev had me following along right beside them as everything unfolded, captivated by this romantic suspense. As expected the story has plenty of action, drama, violence, suspense, mystery, twists, intrigue, danger, gripping details, and emotion. As with the rest of the series, I was on the edge of my seat the whole way through, devouring the pages to discover what was happening, and loving every minute.
Bring on Book Six!!!!

Thank you, Ms. McKinley!

5-Stars

Covert Threat (A Gray Ghost Novel, book 5) by Amy McKinley is an excellent, fast paced, action filled, romance. It has an excellent storyline and plot. The climax was amazing and I love how the author wrapped it up. Jules and Trev are the main characters of this novel. Jules story was shocking and tragic when it was revealed later in the book. I was in tears after finding out how and why she lost her memory following a boating accident at a young age. Jules was amazing and I loved how smart she was. The things she had accomplished with her career were inspiring. Trev was also an inspirational character as well. I love that he taught self-defense classes for women in honor of his mother. Despite his tragic and painful youth, he grew into a strong, educated, and fun protector. I loved this book and I highly recommend it.

Covert Threat is the fifth book in the series Gray Ghost Novels by Amy McKinley. Ms. McKinley is an amazing author who brings her story to life. Her characters in her story are amazing and keep you engaged throughout the entire story. This story has some romance in with the action/mystery all rolled into one book. One reason I enjoy McKinley, as a reader I want to be apart of the story and not on the side lines. This story is about Trev, a former Navy Seal, and Jules a workaholic who needs some protection. Trev is assigned to protect Jules because of threats made against her. Will Trev be able to protect Jules? Will Trev and Jules end up being a couple? Only reading this story will you find out about these details. .

Covert Threat (A Gray Ghost Novel Book 5) by Amy McKinley is a wicked tale of cat and mouse, life and death and twisty. Amy has done an excellent job of keeping us on the edge of the seat trying to work out what is happening and what is supposed to be an easy job turns into something much more deadly. Is she going insane or is there something much more sinister going on? I love the Gray Ghosts, I mean who doesn’t love a SEAL? And Amy writes a SEAL so, so well.

Jules isn’t sure if she is going insane. With everything going on she doesn’t know who to trust but when her big bad bodyguard is assigned to her she hopes like h*ll that he can keep her safe but that’s not all she hopes.

As the threats escalate Trev does everything he can to keep her safe but she is a hard one to keep out of trouble. Not only that but something is off, something that none of them saw coming.

Amy has given us another excellent book in the series.

Siren’s Call: Cursed Seas by Amy McKinley – Review by Randall Murphy
The characters are extremely well defined, and the plot flows very smoothly. The storyline is appealing and really piques the interest of those that like mythology-based books. A good balance is used between building the characters and creating interest in the plot in the early chapters. The anticipation and emotions build throughout and keep the reader interested and glued to the story. The references to established characters such as Zeus, Poseidon, and Ares give the reader an immediate reference point and understanding of the some of the relationships. This a story I would definitely recommend to anyone that enjoyed stories or movies like “Percy Jackson”.

SIREN’S CALL is one of those books that I wouldn’t normally have considered, yet I’ve always enjoyed the author’s writing so grabbed it when it became available.

An enjoyable read with suspense and intrigue. There is a dark humor in this story that was unexpected “…it is mens basic fear of commitment that holds them back.” I felt like it was a combination of mythology and Hans Christian Anderson’s stories with a twist, a turn and a centuries old debt.

This is definitely a story I would recommend.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A Siren’s Call: Cursed Seas flawlessly integrates the world of Greek Mythology with the reality of life in a small town fishing village. As I read, I could picture each scene and felt as if I was living Nerissa’s life right along with her. I could literally feel her emotions: her joy, her sorrows, her worries, her anger, and her love. Most of all, her determination and will to succeed and overcome all obstacles. As for Zeer, I won’t tell you too much about him now other than to say where can I find one just like him???

While this was ultimately Nerissa and Zeer’s story, there are so many fantastically written characters in this book. Some you will love, some you will despise, but you can’t help but be pulled in to their magical world and want to get to know them all! This is a complex story of superstitions, Gods, curses, underwater worlds, and mythical powers with lots of unexpected twists and turns that will keep you captivated until the very end. I highly recommend this book and look forward to reading more from Amy McKinley!

Amy McKinley is an author that I was introduced to when I was looking for new authors. She has an amazing ability to grab me in her synopsis. Her talents of storytelling grabs me from the first paragraph until the last word. Siren’s Call: Cursed Seas was no different. She sets up the scenery in such a way that you really get a great picture in the mind’s eye. Now add the characters like Nerissa. She is chosen to be the next maiden sacrifice and she is trying to get out of this sacrifice. Her little seaside village has been protected by the gods but time is running out. The village is already showing signs of disfavor by the gods. As the time comes near for Nerissa to be sacrificed, there is a visitor (an outsider) who comes to take Nerissa away. Will this protect Nerissa from becoming the maiden sacrifice or will it anger the gods? Read the story and find out for yourself.

Siren’s Call: Cursed Seas by Amy McKinley is such a mix of Gods, secrets, magic, adventure, and drama that you want to KEEP reading to see what is going to happen next. That is one of the many reasons that I love any and all books that Amy McKinley writes, she is truly very talented. When I started to read about this book, what grabbed me was Fate will not be denied, and that is exactly what you will find when you read about Nerissa in this book. Everyone around her is keeping secrets, and she is finding herself unable to trust anyone. Then she meets Zeer, and she wonders, is this the one that can save me? You must read this story to answer that!! FIVE stars and wish I could read more about Nerissa!

Siren’s Call: Cursed Seas is a fantastic fantasy novel by Amy McKinley. I was already a huge fan of Amy McKinley having read, and loved, the Gray Ghost series. I’ve only recently started to read the fantasy/paranormal genre and was eager to read something in this genre by an author I already liked.
Siren’s Call was fantastic. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Amy McKinley knows how to create a fantastic story that grips you from the very beginning, takes you on an amazing roller coaster journey, then spits you out at the end totally dazed by what she’s put you through. This book was no exception. She also knows how to write amazing characters. I loved both Nerissa and Zeer, their characters are very intriguing and so interesting to read. I’ve always said that one mark of a good author is by how much you hate the guys. Well, I can safely say that I hated Cete, Ares, Cyn and the Oracle with a passion.
This book has a little bit of everything that I love in a good book: great characters, romance, angst, mystery and a damn good storyline. I’d definitely recommend it to others.

Is Zeer the answer to her problems? Nothing is as simple as it seems and Nerissa is about to find out who she really is and that everyone around her has not been truthful.

Siren’s Call would not be my typical go to read, but anything that is by the talented Ms. McKinley I have to get my hands on regardless of what it is supposed to be about. I have never been disappointed yet with a novel of hers and this one is no exception to the rule. I loved the way Amy McKinley wrote this twist on Greek Mythology and spun into it a complex tale of love and life as a woman.

I will admit that the first few parts of the book were slow to start, but it was evident that was due to the story being set up to take off into a beautiful tale I couldn’t stop reading. I was glad I remained patient because the way the story unfolded was absolutely perfect and quite frankly it captured my number one favorite spot of Amy McKinley’s novels. I won’t go into much more detail than this or what she has chosen to divulge in the blurb. I couldn’t bare to spoil one moment of the journey. You will just have to take my ultimate high approval and word for it. I can’t wait to see what will come next from the talented Amy McKinley!

We get all sorts of things in this Paranormal romance.

Nerissa lives in a fishing village with her father. Her father has plans to marry her off but Nerissa has other plans in mind. She is adamant to find a man of her choosing before her father forces her to marry. Things take an interesting twist when the villagers get it in their minds that offering an unmarried woman will help with the gods.

When a stranger comes to the village (Zeer), Nerissa finds herself falling for him. Can he help her get out of her predicament?

There is so much more to this book, your head will be spinning.
Amy McKinley does a great job with her writing, the detail was wonderful and you felt like you were right there with the characters. There were several twists and turns, I felt like I was done before I knew it. The secondary characters added a great element to the story. 1-click and get started today, you will love it.

A great read about the sea. Nerissa is a fisherman’s daughter living in ancient Greece. One day, her father returns home with no fish, sparking rumors of a legend and bad omens across the village. While he is gone, Nerissa faces the prospect of finding someone to marry before she is forced into a marriage with an abusive man named Cete. Can she find a solution to her problems?
A great read. Well developed plot with twists and turns that I just couldn’t put down. Well developed characters like Nerissa standing up for herself but anxious underneath or Zeer mysterious but caring underneath. Great cast of supporting characters like the fun friend Eirene or the cruel Cete.
I loved the visual detail throughout the novel like with the storm and its rain and wind for a sense of danger and foreboding events and also a sense of beauty to it aswell. Or the sense of the grecian town with its cobbled streets and colourful markets full of sounds and smells and wares. Or Poseidons kingdom later on with its hidden world full of magic and wonder with colourful jewels and marvellous palaces wonderfully written.
The switch of perspectives was done well to display both sides of the story and was easy to follow with names in the chapters. Also loved how it brought the reader straight into the action with the storm in the prologue I .
grabbing the readers attention from the start. I also liked the sense of mystery with the legend, giving it a magical sense and making you wnat to read on to find out what happens. A wonderful example of world building with fantatsical beings and gods living alongside humanity with their own rules and laws and societies. I loved the use of mythology with Poseidon and mermaids and sirens given the respect they deserve and true to their origins. Overall, a great read and I would give it five stars
