This book can be read as a stand alone which is great. The author pulls you in from the very first page. The plot is very well done and the author keeps you intrigued enough to keep you reading.

Betrayal of the Gods is the 5th installment of the Relic Hunters Series. Just like the books before it, it sucks you in right from the start. Although technically I guess anyone who hadn’t read the previous books could pick this up and read it as a stand alone, but my suggestion would be read them in order as they come out. This is a fantastic mix of fiction, greek mythology and history. It is rather fast paced, so I was able to hunker down and read this in one sitting.

This is the fifth book in the Relic Hunters series, and it absolutely blows my mind that each and every one of them has been incredible! I knew from previous books in the series that I wasn’t going to be able to put it down, so I made sure to find a quiet, comfortable place to devour this entire thing. I recommend reading this series in order as the characters have been in each one, and their dynamic changes a bit throughout. This book closely follows Adam and Matt as they are in quite the predicament. I sat on the edge of my seat the entire way through as the author really dialed up the suspense and danger in this one. I won’t give anything away except the fact that you will need to clear a few hours of your day to devour this book. I highly recommend picking it up (and the series) because it’s phenomenal! I’ll be following this author closely so I can enjoy more of their expertly crafted tales.

What an incredible addition to an already amazing series! This is the fourth book in the Relic Hunters series, and I think this may be my favorite so far. The author shows they have no shortage of ideas and expertly crafts another fast-paced history mixed with legend and fiction read. Adam and his group are in Romania responding to a plea for help, but is it all a trap? They find that they are being hunted and danger, mystery, and suspense ensue. Will they be able to make it through unharmed or is this their last adventure-filled journey together? The one and only thing I could possibly utter a complaint about is that my real-life responsibilities are suffering as I can’t put this book down! Once I pick it up, I am in a trance until I reach the end. Though this is aimed for a YA audience, I thoroughly enjoy each one and am looking forward to the next! I highly recommend this book (and the series) to anyone who enjoys history, myths, legends, and adventures!

This series somehow gets better with each installment! This is the third book in the Relic Hunters series, and I absolutely loved it! The author is an expert at creating such engaging stories that I’ve read in one sitting each time I pick one up. The flow of the book is very natural, and the action, adventure, and danger are a recurring theme throughout! Somehow this author fits our history in so flawlessly with fiction that it’s hard to tell where one ends and another begins. Adam and his group are such a great team, and it was great to see more of the characters and their relationships. I would love to see this as a TV series or even a movie, but for now I am more than happy to get my fill with the next books!

This is the second book in the Relic Hunters series, and it is even more incredible than the first! There is more action, danger, and adventure with Adam and his team. I do recommend reading the first book as it is good to have the background. The author does attempt to give a little introduction to him in the beginning, but there are pieces I would’ve missed without reading the first book prior to this one. I know this is aimed at a younger crowd, but I am pleased to say I was entertained the entire way through. I read it all in one sitting because I couldn’t put it down! I had to know what happened next and wasn’t going to wait to find out! Adam and his group are in Egypt for this adventure when a sandstorm hits. What is surprising is that a forgotten pyramid is found after these sandstorms, and they want to know what’s going on with it. I highly recommend picking this up because it is just too good to miss!

What an incredible start to a series! I liked the cover of this book, and once I read the summary, I knew I had to dive in. The characters are well-developed, and I felt invested in them immediately. I found myself using every excuse to get away from the real world and pick this book back up. If you find yourself interested in myths, legends, and treasure hunters, this book is one you will not want to pass up. Adam and his buddies are all in high school, but he comes home one day and finds that his older brother is missing. The world that he enters is one he never thought could be real. The author did a phenomenal job creating a story with history and fantasy which is a feat in itself. I highly recommend picking this up even if it doesn’t seem like your cup of tea because I bet you’ll still be completely captivated before you know it!

The Hunter brothers are back and this time they are on their own, the team that they have been with is torn apart as the brothers find out some information which they have been seeking all their lives, and more on top of that. The betrayal is something they didn’t expect and ends up with them walking out and beginning a hunt of their own.
This means that for the first time, the Hunter brothers are lacking in equipment, supplies, information or support, but they do have their smarts, skills and tricks to be able to get the help they need. The journey starts out at home where they are shown something both close to their hearts and miles away at the same time, however, it just solidifies their determination to find out the answers they long for.
As usual, nothing is simple and straightforward, however, they do find someone else who can give them their first waypoint and so the chase begins. They realise that although they know a lot about mythology, this chase is going to lead them on an epic journey of discovery where myth and reality collide and with both their friends and enemies hot on their trail, will the two brothers be able to uncover all the information they need, or will this journey be their last one?
This is a cross country race against time as the hunters become the hunted in this dangerous and life altering journey in the footsteps of history.

It has been a while since I have read the previous books in the series so I was excited to get my hands on the latest instalment. I found it so easy to reconnect with the characters. They are on another fantastic journey that was excited, action packed and honestly brilliant to read. I think this book has to be my favourite in the series so far. It combines so many different elements and it feels like it keeps the book fresh and interesting. This book is full of twists and turns and I enjoyed every moment of it. I would highly recommend this book and the whole series.

Betrayal of the Gods is the fifth book in the Relic Hunters series by Martin Ferguson. It is a superb young adult adventure- with plenty of action, historical details, Greek mythology, drama, mystery, danger, investigation, intrigue, tension, dynamic characters, a complex plot, and a race against time. I was excited to see this book pop up on my recommended books as I have really enjoyed the rest of the series- so diving into this story was a no-brainer. As I have mentioned many times before, and will probably do again- this series would make a really great movie, TV series, or adventure/RPG game. Mr. Ferguson attention to detail is apparent in his cleverly crafted tales- his world building/storytelling is rich and vividly detailed- making for quite an engrossing read. This action-packed adventure kept me glued to the pages from beginning to end as Adam and Matt are thrust into an epic adventure that will test them like never before. In a race against time, these two are about to face their biggest challenge. What happens makes for a great read. I really recommend this series to anyone who loves YA, adventure, and history. And even though you could read this as a standalone, I highly recommend reading the previous books before starting on this one- as this is definitely a series you won’t want to miss a moment. Bring on Book #6! Happy Reading…

This was a fun book. There were some interesting plot lines. I also found the weaving of mythology well done. I liked the characters but wasn’t as in invested in them as I would have liked. I feel like I should probably read the others in the series.

This is the fifth book in the Relic Hunters series. As a lover of history this series has been a favourite of mine since book 1. The author does an incredible job of mixing history with adventure. Their attention to detail in every area really brings history to life and I love being transported back in time. In this book we mainly deal with Greek history and mythology and the surprising realisation that not all myths are stories. Some are actually true. Adam and Matt face their biggest challenge to date as they have to go alone to solve the mystery of what happened to their day. Without the help of their team or equipment the odds are really stacked against them. With people taking other the museum, trying to take all the things they have preserved from history and secrets and lies being unravel the brothers are not stuck with not knowing who they can trust. Can they even trust their own team mates or boss. Or is their boss hiding more secrets from them. This is a fast paced story as the brothers race against time to solve the mystery of what happened to their dad, while facing the the myths and legends from Greek Mythology and if that is not enough they are seen as outlaws and their old friends and team mates are tasked with stopping them from completing their tasks and getting to the truth. This book is an enjoyable read for young adults and old adults alike. The story is captivating and full of twists and turns that keep me on the edge of my seat. Once you start this series you will not be able to stop reading it.

Betrayal of the Gods is the fifth instalment of Martin Ferguson’s Relic Hunters series. The majority of the book follows Adam, and his brother, Matt, who set off to finish the mission their father started: to find the lost city of Atlantis. But the book also follows Princess Alaina of Atlantis and her experience of the Trojan War. It was really interesting reading these stories alongside each other, centuries apart, and seeing how they connected. My favourite character is Adam and my least favourite character is Elizabeth. I recommend this book because I love Greek mythology and this is a really interesting take on it, I think Martin did really well incorporating history and mythology into his own fantasy series. I’d really like to read the sixth and final instalment of the series, to see if Adam and Matt really did find Atlantis. ‘I had not known love before him. If he should fall, I would not want to live on without him.’

I had almost forgotten about this series until I saw this book out and knew I had to get it. Martin knows how to write an enticing tale in this genre. I was so excited to jump in. Betrayal of the Gods is the fifth book in the amazing Relic Hunters series. Whether you are a YA or in your sixties like me this adventure story is another exciting tale in this excellent series. This is my favourite in the series to date, but I do tend to think that with the others. Martin gives his readers plenty of thrills, mystery, drama and danger that jumps off the page. Add in some twists and turns in this complex and engaging storyline and you have an action-packed story that has been cleverly woven into a tale that cannot be missed. With historical facts mixed in Martin has created something so engrossing that you will not want to put it down. Adam and Matt are in the fight for their lives this time. It is the brothers against the world and now they don’t know who is friend or foe as they race against time learning myth and legends to find what they are after but with everyone against them things are not as hopeful as they should be. This one will have the blood pumping as you race against hope with them. I can’t wait for more from Martin.

Wow, this is action-packed all the way. Adam and Matt are in trouble. We see them get through on their own when all is against them. We get to see them go through Greek Mythology this time. The drama and action make this story full of drama, unpredictable action, and twists and turns. What a ride this series has been so far. I’m looking forward to reading more.

With only each other to rely on and the world against them, can the Hunter brothers finish the journey they have been preparing for all their lives?

I really enjoy Ferguson’s writing style and attention to detail. And I’m finding him to be a very versatile author that is very astute in writing appropriately for the genre. This book starts with immediate action, pulling the reader in and setting the stage for quite a bit of action. I immediately wanted to know more from the very first chapter and loved how the story progressed. Strong female lead, lots of action, just a well paced fantasy that kept me engaged from beginning to end. Loved it.

Wow, this book was phenomenal! I really enjoyed this young adult/fantasy book. Alena was a young girl when she lost per family and her home. A few years later, she becomes a member of “The Guild” and now goes by the name of “Slayer” (which I love!!). Slayer is fearless and strong, and I love her character. As she now ventures off to find a missing Increment and works for The Sacred, this is when Slayer will discover what evil is where the adventure begins.

As a young girl on a night of terrifying fire, death, and blood Alena lost her entire family. She is luckily saved by her uncle and due to a devastating power she possesses is raised and trained in secret to become a guild member. After completing her training she sets off to complete her guild trial to become a fully fledged member. Once that is completed she is given her first official assignment. Given leave to travel to the tavern and recruit help for her journey she builds her cadre with the promise of coin upon completion. Thank goodness she didn’t decide to complete her mission alone! I love a good fantasy, young adult, or otherwise, and this one did not disappoint. I had an incredibly hard time putting this down to participate in life. Once you get into this story your are swept along and kept on the edge of your seat. I felt rather than atmosphere driven this novel is more character driven and what great characters they were, minus the one, he will deserve everything coming to him. I really enjoyed the camaraderie and friendship that developed in the group as they battled for their lives despite all of their differences. I’m really looking forward to reading more of The Forsaken.

When I first saw the cover for The Forsaken: Wraith by Martin Ferguson I knew I had to read it. Personally I love fantasy and this cover alone drew me right in, and the synopsis just added to the thrill of wanting to read it. While I have read a lot of fantasy novels in my lifetime but this one was one of my personal favorites, there was so much adventure, great characters, and a fantastic plot line. I was so captivated by the fine details, the journey that the main character goes on and just the overall plot of the story that I just couldn’t put it down. So if your looking for a great adventure/fantasy book this weekend then I highly recommend The Forsaken: Wraith.

The Forsaken: Wraith was my first book from this author. I’m not going to lie, this book was a slow start for me. In the first few chapters, I felt like there was a lot of promise but I just couldn’t find the spark I was looking for. However, I was soon drawn into the story around chapters 3-4! Martin Ferguson included so much detail into this world that I felt like I was a part of the Apprentice’s journey. The world he built gave me Game of Thrones vibes with more fantasy elements. I’ll definitely be on the lookout for more stories by this author!

This is the first book is a new series by this author and from this book its going to be a great series. It is a young adult read but I really enjoyed it. I loves the fantasy aspect and the danger. With twists and turns around every corner you are kept on the edge of your seat all the way through.
When Alena’s world is destroyed she loses everything. She loses her home, her family and eventually her name. She is taken away and trained to become part of The Guild. The Guild is a group of people who are highly trained and Alena needs to find where she belongs. After a successful trail on her own she comes back with the head of a Siren which makes her a Slayer. Now she gets placed in the service of the Sacred and now her real adventure begins.
It’s a great 1st book in the series and I am eager to see where the next book takes us.
