Wow! The author gives readers a chance to revisit the winemaking scene of Portugal. I must admit to ignorance of Portugal’s winemaking until having read the first book in this series. Our hero is a flawed individual from a noble yet disturbingly dysfunctional familial dynamic. His attempts to stop a barbaric custom come at great personal costs. Yet these same attempts deliver him from his own personal darkness and demons. Personal grudges and petty differences must be put aside in order to achieve his goals.

I absolutely LOVE Greek Mythology so always look forward to reading any books based in it. This story did not disappoint and I look forward to reading others. You can read this as a stand alone book, but I do suggest reading the others too. However, I don’t think you’ll miss much! This story was action packed and had me on the edge of my seat. I enjoyed going on adventures with the MC.

Greek mythology retelling that leads into epic twists and turns. A good continuation of the first two books and a journey for a third relic to regain the Olympian favor in a twist to rewrite history. Taking place in Ancient Greece, the story leads through familiar characters with a brand new twist designed to captivate at every turn.
Writing as sharp and calculated as steel, Cavallaro wins again with this final installment. A satisfying end with a bittersweet feel hits hard. Very good read.

I went in blind and enjoyed this book immensely. Sadly I have to read 1 and 2 for the full effect, but this book itself was amazing. I adore anything related to Greek Gods, mythology, philosophy, fables, and stories being retold with a twist. There was so much depth and detail which truly enhanced the journey!

First of all, let me start with saying…I’m not a normal person and hardly ever read books in order! With that being said, Minotaur’s Lair is the third book in the series and was wonderfully written! This novel could be just read as a stand-alone book, and you wouldn’t be lost! Now I will also add that the story is much more interesting if you read the previous books in the series as well. I actually went back and read the second book, now all I need is to read the first book! This was a fantastic and detailed read, that drew me in and made me feel like I was right there with the characters. Luciana Cavallero has such a unique writing style that is so strong that you can vividly imagine what is happening. This book really ends on a high note! Which is a lot to say because sometimes when you are reading books that are part of a series, you feel like you were left high and dry and didn’t get a great ending! I for one am very intrigued when it comes to Greek Mythology, and I loved the Greek mythology element that Luciana added to this book. She included quite a bit of information that I was already aware of. I really enjoyed going on Evan’s journey with him. Luciana created a wonderful character that you felt like you were right next to on his journey, and that is despite the fact that he is a twelve-year-old young man! I hope that you will enjoy this page turning book as much as I did! Happy Reading!

Minotaur’s Lair (Servant of the Gods Book 3) by Luciana Cavallaro. This is such a good book. I have loved this series. It is a Greek Mythology story and filled with all kinds of adventures. I do recommend reading the first 2 books before to better understand the characters. There are a ton of characters so you really need to know who is who. There is a list at the end of the book if you get confused during reading. Its the story of Architect Evan Chronis and his crew are trying to locate the 3rd and final relic from the Minotaur. They are attacked by cyclopes, man eating birds and all kinds of crazy things. They even have their memories erased. Will they be able to collect the relic or will they all die trying. Read this fast paced historical fiction story to find out. You won’t be disappointed!

5 Stars Minotaur’s Lair (Servant of the Gods Book 3) by Luciana Cavallaro
Minotaur’s Lair is the third and final book in the Servant of the Gods Trilogy. Wow what an epic ending to a wonderfully written Historical Fantasy that will have you turning the pages trying to figure out what is going to happen next. This story is packed with mythology, fantasy , action, adventure and more. Evan has been through a lot and now he’s been drugged to forget the god’s . But can he return back home before its to late? I don’t want to give away anything but I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I look forward to reading many more books by this author.

Minotaur’s Lair is the third book in the Servant of the Gods series. It’s worth reading the series in order – you get enough of the backstory in this book to follow it but it would be more enjoyable to read as the culmination of the series.
As the title suggests, Minotaur’s Lair draws on Greek mythology to create a vivid fantasy world. There are plenty of familiar characters and tropes, but modern elements bring originality as well. The historical setting is detailed, with plenty of information about ancient lives including things like medicine, making it both an immersive and interesting read.
There are some great characters in this story! I particularly like Dexion, a boy whose insight and friendship help Evan in his quest. He’s a fun character with great energy, and I like a story where children notice things that adults miss.
This book gets five stars from me! I’d recommend it to fans of Greek Mythology and historical fantasy. Do start at the beginning, though, with Search for the Golden Serpent to get the full story.

I am here for any books that contain greek mythology. This is the final book (number 3 in the series). I didnt read the first two and didnt feel like i was unable to grasp what was going on! The way the writer tells the tale is honestly just mystical. It grabs your attention, and it had made me want to go back and read the other two. Its the way that the description is so perfectly balanced that you honestly feel as if you’re there that was the biggest winner for me. The story itself is great and well thought out. Author has an incredible mind and this book shows it!

This was a really good book! It was very well written. It was a well woven story of hope, love, and dreams with some darkness thrown in there to spice the story up. This is the second book in a series but can be read as a standalone. Both books were really good, I’m not sure which I would call my favorite. But I do know this one was beautifully written and well crafted and I’m excited to read more from this author in the future.

This is the second book in the Winemaker’s series. I went into this book with high expectations as I LOVED the first book in the series. I have to say that this one did not disappoint. I love that this book focused on Pedro and his rise from “darkness”. In the first book, I did not have a favorable opinion of Pedro. However, I loved watching how he changed and developed as a person as he was on the run from the authorities as well as once he met Annie. I loved this historical romance. I hope that there is more to come in the series!

I enjoyed reading this romance story. This is a new author for me which I enjoyed their writing skills as well as their attention to details that made the story pop. I look forward to reading more from them in the future. This is a well written story about discovering that love isn’t always perfect like they say. This is a story that has some suspense as well. It made the story easy and entertaining to read. A fast paced story that is hard to put down. There is great growth with the characters and the plot. The twists and turns had me turning pages fast just to see what would happen to these characters next. I really enjoyed reading this book and I highly recommend it.

16-year-old, Rhia Caddell, doesn’t know what’s worse—arranged marriages or high finance.
Now she’s stuck with both when her desperate father agrees to marry her to the oh-so-dainty Prince of Wales in an attempt at royal tax negotiations. As a farmer, Rhia prefers toiling in the earth over romance. Life in a fiefdom requires muscle, and what good is a man who can’t outlift her or bring a belligerent steer to the ground?
But now, the pressure has fallen onto her to whoo (or intimidate) her new, royal husband into erasing her village’s debt before the king’s final deadline comes due. Problem is, the prince has been given the same task—to sway his new wife, the mayor’s daughter, into forking over the gold and finally earning his father’s approval.
For Rhia, losing their new, delicate game would mean turning over the only life and home she’s ever known to the king. Winning, though, could mean giving up the fragile prince she’s tried so hard, and failed, not to love.

The Taste of Light is the second book in The Winemakers series by Giovanna Siniscalchi. It is an historical women’s fiction story with romance, emotion, drama, tragedy, heartache, quirky and complex characters, and a sprinkle of humour to balance the darker tones of the story. As with the first book, the author expertly weaves a tale that transported me through time and made me feel like I was right there experiencing the story right alongside the characters. I was completely immersed in this well-woven story that’s textured with rich details and descriptions, cultural elements, chemistry, real history, and much more Well worth the read. Looking forward to seeing what the rest of the series holds. Happy Reading!

Book 2 of The Winemaker Series, this one was just as much of an emotional historical romance as Book 1, The True Purpose of Vines. There are so many feelings in the story from romance to heartbreak to the power of redemption. I found the characters to be so fascinating that I was hooked on the story upon starting it. This is not the story I normally get into but it truly had me engaged. The facts on Portugal, London Society and other historical items were fascinating and had you wanting to dive down the rabbit hole to learn more. It’s a very well written story that is truly a must read. Very well-done, author! I would give it more than 5 stars if I were allowed to.

After losing his bride to a hated Englishman, Pedro Daun shuts himself in his winemaking property. Drowning in port, he hopes to find oblivion from his murky past in Mozambique.
A girl with dawn in her eyes…
Kind and whimsical, Anne Maxwell moves to the Douro to help her new sister-in-law. She dreams of finding the perfect suitor to give her the unconditional love she never had.
Shadows can taste light…
A twist of fate brings them together. Anne glimpses in Pedro’s eyes a yearning for love that rivals her own, but the cynical Fidalgo isn’t the perfect prince of her dreams. Pedro craves Anne’s touch more than the air he breathes, but he is unwilling to soil his angel with the sins from his past.
A conspiracy is revealed…
A false accusation turns them into fugitives. Running from a treacherous enemy, they plunge into an ocean of intrigue to prove Pedro’s innocence. As their passion grows, Anne discovers that love isn’t the perfect matter of fairy tales. But can Pedro forgive himself for his past and allow Anne into his heart?
My name is Giovanna Siniscalchi, and I have two passions: History and Romance. My goal as a writer is to transport readers to Portugal, where they can watch the sunset through majestic umbrella pines, taste bold wines, and sway to the sound of a Fado. I research every detail of my novels, hoping to make you treasure my grandparents’ country as I do. I grew up reading sweeping romances like Gone With The Wind and Count of Monte Cristo. What I love most about reading a novel is the sensation of having experienced something special. My goal is to recreate this feeling. You won’t find instant love in my books. My characters need to grow and overcome their flaws before they can experience true romance. I have a loving husband, who still is my hero and two amazing kids.

I like nothing better than a good murder mystery, and I certainly got Agatha Christie vibes from the synopsis, and I.M. Foster didn’t disappoint.
I usually don’t go into too much detail when reviewing thrillers or mysteries as I don’t want to spoil anything! As the synopsis indicates, coroner Daniel O’Halleran is in need of a change. His job has him frustrated, and to add insult to injury, the woman he thought he would spend forever with just left him standing at the altar. He most definitely needs a change. So, when his help is needed in a small village, he jumps at the chance! However, he doesn’t realize how his pace of life is about to change. The past comes roaring back when he is asked to look into an old murder case that he just so happened to be a part of. When a new murder occurs, he thinks the two may be somehow connected.
The writing was fantastic as were the characters! The story may have started off just a wee bit slow, but once I got going, it was addictive. There were plenty of twists and turns, and I loved going back to the beginning of the 1900s. All those things combined made for a great historical mystery!
I am really excited that this is the beginning of a series. I’m really looking forward to reading future books as this promises to be a fantastic series!!!!

Foster – Review by Christie Mitchum
The epic historical fantasy adventure continues in this third and final instalment of this enjoyable and engaging series. It really is an action packed story, with a great mix of history, fantasy and mythology, all of which had me hooked throughout. Evan and his companions are now entrapped by Antioche, the Amazon Queen and her warriors, as the Dark Master’s victorious revenge over the gods is almost complete. Meanwhile, the High Priestess has failing health making her unable to rescue her brother and her fellow Atlanteans. The only chance they have of stopping the Dark Master’s succession plans is to recover the last sacred relic, which is secreted in the lair of the Minotaur. Evan must continue his journey to the mystical lands of Krete in order for his father, Zeus, to fulfil his promise. He also has precious gifts given to him by Queen Antioche, both allegiances and memories are tested in this story, but will Evan make it home, and if so what will his future be. The unique settings are brought vividly to life by the detailed and descriptive narrative, making me feel immersed in the storyline. The characters and the mythical creatures also come alive and jump off the page. The added historical details make it obvious this is a well researched novel, and the twists and turns kept the plot unpredictable. This was an entertaining read and one which I recommend, along with the two previous books in the series.

This is the third book in the trilogy and an excellent addition! The story follows Evan, who is Zeus child and his brothers and sisters from Alantis. He must face the Queen that has held them captive, Queen Antioche as well as stop the Dark Master (Kronos) from bringing about the Messiah. Not only is he the main character in saving the Gods, but he also now has completely forgotten who he is and his mission. Gods, adventure, betrayals, love, and so much more, what else could you ask for? I have really enjoyed this book. I think personally you could read this book without reading the others, as the author does a really nice job of catching the reader up on everything that has previously happened.

The author keeps you guessing in this book. When a killing happens at the beginning of the book, you think the story is about that. However, further into the book it becomes about another killing that comes around and is part of the first killing that happened two years prior. The book keeps you on the edge of your seat trying to figure out who did it.

A stunning conclusion to an epic trilogy filled with fast paced adventure in ancient Greece. I devoured this story as quickly as possible to discover what happens with Evan and his fellow companions who are in a race to save the gods. Again, a wonderfully researched story that makes you feel like you are right there in ancient Greece with the characters. The author did a fabulous job of blending history, mythology and fantasy into a stunning trilogy. The story continued to take you on different twists and turns, culminating into a surprising ending. I will definitely be checking out the author’s other series as her writing is stellar and kept my interest peaked throughout the entire trilogy.

I found this to be a well-researched and written story about ancient Greece laced with history and mythology. This was a well-paced story that immediately hooks you into the story and I couldn’t put it down. As a lover of Greek Mythology, I found this to be a wonderful story. I jumped into book 2 without reading book 1, but the story was detailed enough I was able to follow along, but I will be reading book 1 so I can get the full effect. I thought the character development was fantastic and Evan is definitely a hero favorite of mine. I can’t wait to read book 3 to see how the journey continues and what adventures our heroes will find.

This book is the 3rd book in the ‘Servant of the Gods’ series but can technically be read as a stand alone. There is a nice recap of the previous novels within the book.
Evan is a descendant of Zeus, he was made solely to stop the demise of the Greek deities by defeating Kronos. Kronos is dead set on destroying Olympus and all the gods who live there to become the one and only ruler.
The novel starts off with Evan and his companions on an Amazonian island, they have no recollection of why they were travelling the waters. The queen made it so the men were breeding machines to ensure her people’s survival. The queen took Evan as her consort and there seems to be a little bit of Stockholm syndrome. Evan finds out what the queen has done and is angry but can’t get her out of his mind, especially since she is pregnant with his child.
Once the men’s memories were restored they left the island and continued on to Krete where the last relic is supposed to be. It is a long journey with lots of obstacles and Evan is being tested by both the gods and Kronos. Gods are known to be fickle and Evan doesn’t know who to trust anymore. Evan just wants to go home and he will do everything he can to do so.
I really enjoyed this book. It was action packed, filled with characters from Greek mythology (which I am a fan of) and drama. I recommend reading this book 100%!

I am not a great fan of Mythical history with Greek gods, but I was amazed at this story turned out. Knowing that it was the 3rd book in Luciana Servant of the Gods series, I might have to get the 1st book to fully get into the adventure with Evan and to see what happens in the beginning.
I love fantasy books and this one hit the spot where it took greek gods to another level for me.

This historical fiction book focuses on a murder mystery. The language throughout is a perfect example of what you would imagine 1904 to sound like, replete with surprises. The author did a masterful job of researching the time period to make it accurate and plausible. Go on a journey that will leave you second guessing until the end. Very enjoyable!

Foster – Review by katie stapleton
Minotaur’s Lair is the third and final book in the Servant of the Gods series by Luciana Cavallaro. I have really enjoyed following along on this epic fantasy series, so this final book was a little bit of a bitter-sweet read for me. On one hand I really wanted to know what happens and how everything would play out in the end. But then on the other hand, I knew this was the final and wasn’t reading to leave the adventure behind. This book proved to be another well-woven and action-packed fantasy adventure- with ancient history, intriguing mythology, gods, dramatic developments, danger, magic, the paranormal, mythical creatures, rich world building, agendas, revenge, and a few surprises. This book follows on from book two, and even though the author does a good job of ‘catching’ the reader up on what has previously transpired, there is something to be said for experiencing it all first-hand…. So, therefore, I highly recommend reading the first two books before starting on this instalment. Evan has been through quite a lot since we met him back in book one, but he’s not going to catch a break any time soon. Thrust into this adventure, Evan has been drugged and has forgotten the god’s quest. So, as you can imagine, nothing good can come from that. Set the scene for epic odyssey. It’s not only are memories and loyalties that are to be tested as all the action unfolds- and what ensues definitely makes for a captivating read. As I have mentioned before, Ms. Cavallaro’s attention to detail and obvious love of ancient history really helps to bring her story(ies) to life. She proves to have an eye for detail, and her descriptive details and snippets of history, as well as her ability to build tension really adds to the intrigue, atmosphere, and overall ‘feel’ of the story. It was so easy to be ‘in’ the story, and ‘see’ everything as it was unfolding. I can see this making a great television series. Happy Reading…

Straight off ending the second book I jumped straight on to this one. I could not wait to see where Luciana was taking this story. Minotaur’s Lair is the third and unfortunately final book in the Servant of the Gods trilogy. There is a cast of many but they feel like old friends now we are approaching the end. Imagine thrust back in tome to a world where mythological creatures and beings, gods and monsters reside. Imagine being shipwrecked without your memory of where you are and why you are there. Curses in practice, danger at every corner, enough drama to last a life time, tensions running high and palpable this and more is what you can expect in this epic mythological fantasy read. The stakes are high in this last leg of the quest to find the relics needed to stop the annihilation of the god’s an Evans way home. Luciana’s passion for all things Greek mythology shines through with this original, complex and cleverly crafted tale. I look forward to reading what comes next.

Once again myths and legends, mixed with action-packed tale, ancient mythology, mystical places, time travel, modern technology and historic events all rolled into one story, that had me once again not being able to put this book down. The drama was nonstop from the beginning all the way to the ending. The book was filled with maybe unexpected twists and turns throughout the story which really made up for an exciting read to the end. Highly recommend this story of Evans time traveling, God, myths and an amazing tale of adventure.

Once again Luciana’s passion has given us an engaging and unique story born of mythology. There is a seamless transition for readers from book one (which finished on a cliff-hanger) to this one as Luciana recaps details. The Labyrinthine Journey is another original and lovingly crafted tale from Luciana. It is woven with ancient Greek mythology giving the story much more realistic depth. This cleverly constructed fantasy tale will captivate you and make you feel like you are the one on this time travel adventure. Danger is high when Evan finds himself transported from current times back into ancient Greece in mythical times. On a quest to save the Gods Evan and his Atlanteans friends find things don’t go the way they should as they are thwarted by those opposed to the god’s survival. With a whole host of characters, mythological creatures and beings, gods and monsters this vividly rich and well-crafted and complexly woven tale draws in and is only limited by your imagination. If you like mythology and fantasy tales where the characters are believable characters then this series is for you. I look forward to reading the next book in the series.
