Betrayal of the Gods (Relic Hunters Book 5)Betrayal of the Gods by Martin Ferguson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is book 5 in a series, and I admittedly started with this book and wasn’t confused totally can be done as a standalone.
Join Matt and Adam in adventures across timelines and povs there is historical fiction and fantasy while exploring Greek heros, several famous lost cities and battles alike! This author expertly weaves his tale with great attention to detail and characters making you instantly invested. The timelines and pov changes frequently but the start of each chapter is labeled with a character and the “when” of what’s happening. The chapters are also mercifully shorter allowing you to capture things in small snippets but getting great detail and world building so both YA readers and Adults can BOTH enjoy this series. Very well done and now I need to go back and learn more!

Betrayal of the Gods (Relic Hunters Book 5)Betrayal of the Gods by Martin Ferguson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

After the Museum is taken over by the United Nations Security and Adam’s best friends mom, Elizabeth, who is also rumored to be a part of Winterbourne, Adam is told for the second time to investigate the Alpha team’s room.

Adam’s curiosity peaked. Once he broke into the room he was greeted with a bunch of old equipment and photos. In one of the photos is Charles, Elizabeth and their father! Turns out he was a hunter too and went down in a storm years ago. Adam and Matt right then and there quit. They no longer trust Charles and with the museum being under new management, it only makes sense to cut ties now.

Their mother and Charles give the boys the last things that their father had left for them. A letter and a journal. With that the boys decide to find out the truth about what happened to their father. Without the help from the museum, they need to do all of this secretly. After some investigating, it seems their father was looking for Atlantis.

There are flashbacks to a time when Atlantis still stood with mention of a few of the Greek Gods.

Again, Martin Ferguson shows how much research they put into their writing. The book started off with a twist, capturing my intrigue instantly. I love Greek Mythology and this was right up my alley. Will the Hunter Brothers really find Atlantis?

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this whole series and its sad to know this is the last one. These books are great together or by themselves but now enjoyable when you read them in order. As just like with the others in this series, this is a fantastic young adult action-adventure with wonderful characters, treasure hunting, the quest for Atlantis, historical details, mythology, drama, mystery, danger, investigation, tension, an intriguing & complex plot, high stakes, and a race against time and so much more. I couldn’t get enough of these books they kept me intrigued and wanting more. The tales of the past in the story really brings together the quests and the history of what the relic hunters are ding. Adam and Matt are at it again but this time for the hunt to find Atlantis. This is a great series and I highly suggest reading it even if you’re not a young adult.

Blood of the Dragon (Relic Hunters, #4)Blood of the Dragon by Martin Ferguson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Vlad the Impaler or Vladislav Dracula as he was called back in the day, was known as a brutal ruler and said to be a vampire. But vampires aren’t real, right?

Adam and his crew are back at it again, this time to Romania to check out Poenari Castle, also known as Castle Dracula. A professor who is friends with Charles found papers that were said to be owned by a scholar who disappeared after investigating the castle in 1967. The British Museum crew are told to go with the professor to protect her while she looks for hidden secrets. A goblet with a dragon on it is found and that’s when all hell breaks loose. They are being hunted by Winterbourne, the military and now vampires!? One by one they are turned except for Adam and it is once again up to him to save his team. Can he do it all alone?

Meanwhile we get a glimpse into Vlad’s past and how he became the ruthless man he is known to be.

This is the 4th installment of the ‘Relic Hunters’ series and so far, it’s my favourite. I love stories of vampires and shifters and anything fantasy so I was excited to have that as the main theme this time around. Martin Ferguson has a way with words and will make you invested in all the characters right from the get go. Time to read book 5!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was an incredible book, I really enjoyed and love the fact that it is series, which I can not wait to get into the rest. This book went and back and forth between past and present which gave it a nice back story on the events and what was happening before. the history that weaved into the story really brings a different perspective to this story. Matt and Adam are far from your ordinary boys, they are relic hunters, and this story takes us to Rome, but they aren’t the only ones on the hunt. The adventure these boys go thou shows to them a lot of growth and that they can accomplish anything. This book was filled with action, supernatural, history, suspense and so much more. Highly recommend this book.

Betrayal of the Gods (Relic Hunters Book 5)Betrayal of the Gods by Martin Ferguson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Relic Hunters book 5 is amazing, and I’m immediately going back to book 1. I love Greek mythology, the smooth transitions between past and present, Adam and Matt and the world that has been built and shared in this book. I was fully engrossed and didn’t feel confused about anything, but I did feel curious and interested in getting more engrossed in this world.

Adam and Matt are on the most important quest so far, and journey through Troy, deal with tragedies and Greek heroes, and a world full of wonderful characters. In the midst of all of this, they are on the run and being hunted as criminals themselves. The cover art drew my original attention, the summary made me interested, and reading the actual story has made me a fan. I can see these books even piquing the interest of non readers.

Curse of the Sands (Relic Hunters, #2)Curse of the Sands by Martin Ferguson

This is book 2 of the series, and so far, I have no complaints. This book was an amazing read, and I couldn’t read it fast enough it was incredible. This book is supernatural and history all in one. I would highly recommend this is you like suspense, action, supernatural and then a little of history all rolled into one. With the discovery of a pyramid in Egypt, with all the traps inside the pyramid it’s nearly impossible to get into tit. But this doesn’t stop the relic hunters and they set out to discover the secret a why it was just discovered now, and why all the traps what this pyramid could be hiding. This book follows two timelines but is incredible with the back-and-forth feedback and insight, I really like this part of the books.

These series was getting better and better with every book. This is book 3 of the series, and so far, I have no complaints. And this one once again like the others did not disappoint. This one just like the others was amazing. This book takes place in a British museum and the Adam, and the relic hunters once again have a mission to find out about a boat from WWII. And the secrets that it might hold. This book does like the others and goes from past to present but is super easy to follow, and the back story to everything always gives more insight to what has happened. These series book has a great twist and intertwine everything from present to history into one and is very enjoyable. This book is supernatural and history all in one. I would highly recommend these series.

These series was getting better and better with every book. This is book 4 of the series, and so far, I have no complaints. And this one once again like the others did not disappoint. This book did go back and forth like the others, but it was still easy enough to follow, but it give great insight which is always something that I enjoy. This time Adam and the Relic hunters get a cry for assistance in an abandoned castle in Romania. This had a mix of history and myth all rolled into one. The roller coaster ride in this book was amazing and kept me hooked till the end, I couldn’t put it down. And the twist that the killer ended up chasing them instead was a real heart stopping moment. I would highly recommend these series.

War of the Damned (Relic Hunters, #3)War of the Damned by Martin Ferguson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the third book of the ‘Relic Hunters’ series and continues shortly after book 2. All of the books have separate themes but the character plot and growth are connected so this is not to be read as a stand alone.

The British Museum is asked to come investigate a U Boat from WWII found that was never commissioned. There was no paperwork for it. Once the group enters the boat, they find a symbol they do not recognize and a few they do. A crazed woman shows up and pillages the boat, then she blows it up. Adam and the crew only have a couple pictures to go on to find out what this boat was used for. Not only that but who is this woman and what did they find?

Things are not making sense and it is up to the crew to find out why? They find a remaining survivor from that time but the veteran just makes things more confusing. Throw in a bout of undead to make things worse for the crew. This is the first time the brothers are actually working together in the field after Matt’s injury and it’s a doozy.

The author always writes point of views in both the present and the past. The past portion of the book this time around is about a Private Cooper who was too young to be in this war but lied about his age to join. He is connected to the background of the U Boat. He goes through hell and back and wants nothing more than to make it home to his love, Maggie.

I personally am not a fan of modern history but I really enjoy this author’s writing. They are very knowledgeable of a broad area of history and the author writes the present day filled with action from the first page to the last. So far my favourite character is Emma. She is sassy but has a soft side. From the first time Adam met her, he has had a thing for her. As time goes on, she seems to be warming up to him. I am rooting for them to get together.

The Other Side of TogetherThe Other Side of Together by Emily Cox
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4 stars
Young adult authors Emily Cox and Nicole Allen bring us a sweet tale. It is my first time reading anything they have written, and I was pleasantly surprised.
This is a clean YA romance that has a lot of raw emotions involved because it has some pretty dark heavy hitting content, but the authors do this well. It is heartwarming and heartbreaking all at the same time. A nail biting, rollercoaster of emotions kind of story.
The story is told in my favourite way of writing characters, dual POV which gives the story much more depth and insight and the characters are much more believable. There are characters you will absolutely love and then there are characters you will absolutely hate.
You always remember your first love and The Other Side of Together is a raw and beautiful yet heartbreaking story of young teenage love.
I will not give away any spoilers but suffice it to say the tension is palpable, have tissues on hand, a stiff drink or three and expect a laugh or two at times.
There are a few twists and there is a cliffhanger so now I can’t wait to get my hands on the next book.

Betrayal of the Gods (Relic Hunters Book 5)Betrayal of the Gods by Martin Ferguson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Relic Hunters is book 5 of this short series and this book differently could be read as a standalone. This series is most definitely aimed for the young adult youth crowd, but it was very enjoyable to read still. The story jumps each chapter from present to past, but it was easy enough to follow along. Two brothers Adm and Hunter are challenged to a race of their lives and have to figure out how to survive through the Greek legends. But as the race continues, they are declared as outlaws and are being chased down but not just anyone but also ones they thought were allies. I love the aspect of adding in Greek mythology throughout the book which is always stuff I love about reading and what strikes my interest. This book was very exciting to read, and I couldn’t wait to see what would happen to the brothers and if they were able to get out or finish with this adventurous race.

This book is an absolute gem! Mei Li and Marcus are like the dream team of characters, especially Marcus – total heartthrob material. The story takes you on a rollercoaster ride of emotions, from heartbreak to those sweet teenage love vibes. The characters and plot mesh together so seamlessly, and there are some serious curveballs thrown in – I did not see them coming at all! The ending will leave you feeling wrecked, but in a good way.

I want to add that this isn’t a typical love story. It dives into some heavy stuff, – real life stuff. And there is no cursing or steamy scenes, which keeps it light.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I am completely enamored by this book and these fantastic characters. When I read (GOT and LOTR meet Pride and Prejudice as book one of the Kingdom of Seven Sovereigns series follows four noble teens into their inaugural year at the Bastion academy), in the description I knew I had to read this book and wow am I glad I did. R. C. Reigh has created such an amazing world within these pages that you won’t want to leave! You are pulled into the story even more as you get the first-person perspective and really get to see and know what the characters are feeling and experiencing.

Will the fragile peace of these seven kingdoms be able to remain intact or will the 500 years of war start up again? Amelia, the Princess of Avonlee, wants to keep the peace, but she wants her freedom as well. That means her finding anyway to be released from the marriage part of the treaty that her parent’s setup with the wolf king of Carpathia, Prince Danes’ father. The arrogant Prince Dane, who is reminiscent of Pride and Prejudice Mr. Darcy will have you both loving and hating him! While other characters like Kessara, the necromancer’s daughter, will leave you trying to guess what she will do next to disrupt the school and everyone in it. This school, which is the first of its kind, has taken several years to make to ensure the safety of all the seven kingdoms’ royal descendants along with other students, so that they can come together and learn from and about one another. Will they make friends or are they destined to be enemies despite the treaty of peace? I honestly can’t wait to read the next book in this series!

This is book five in the Relic Hunters series and can be read as a standalone. The chapters are small enough and easy to be digested for a young adult audience. I felt so much confused as the chapters go back and forth in time, even though they do give a heading at the beginning of each one. There’s plenty of adventure and the weaving of Greek mythology throughout the plot was done well. Ferguson creates attention to detail to keep the reader engrossed in the story. It’s a call to adventure readers will enjoy.

This book utterly captured my attention from the moment I ready the blurb and yet nothing could have prepared me for how emotional I actually found this story to be! I loved Marcus and Mei Li. Their connection, their story and everything they were battling made them easily some of the best characters I have read about.
Everything in this story was so well told. It was artfully crafted by an author who clearly not only has a passion for writing by the skills to produced an amazing book. As soon as I started reading this book, I could not wait to see how things would turn out. I had to read it all in one sitting. This is a fantastic story and I would highly recommend it.

This was a really emotional, raw read which covered so many topics from young forbidden love to secrets about immigration, pressure to confirm and do what your parents wish all the while putting your wants to the side. This book is beautifully written and I like how each chapter is told from either Marcus or Mei so you get the here the story from both of them.

Marcus has everything going for him. A heartthrob, great grades and a full scholarship with football. He could have any girl he wants, however his dad has put a stipulation in place. If he doesn’t get distracted by girls he will get a bike. So far this hasn’t been a problem until Mei.

Mei has family issues of her own. Her family have already got her paired up with Nick who is a lot older than her. However he is the way she can get access to the culinary school she so wishes to join. There is also something dark and sinister about Nick that by displeasing him could place her whole family at risk. Mei had settled her mind to the fact that Nick was her future until Marcus came and showed her another way.

Both of them feel a strong connection and as their secret communications increase these feelings grow. Do they even stand a chance to be together or are they setting themselves up for heartbreak? Can two people from different backgrounds and circumstances really work?
My heart broke several times reading this book as they both fight to be with each other, will they succeed? You’ll have to read it to find out.

An evocative story of first love, possibility, and rewriting our destinies, this YA romance captures the ache of Laura Nowlin with a romantic innocence reminiscent of Jenny Han.
Marcus is destined for big things. He’s a star soccer player, a straight-A student, and gorgeous beyond the hopes of most girls. Especially since they’re off limits. Because of his detective dad’s painful past with women, Marcus made a bet with him to avoid girls until after high school. So far, so good.
Mei Li’s world is anything but bright. She’s a pawn in a dangerous game to keep her and her family in America but dreams of a very different life. However, dreams turn to fear when she discovers the guy she’s supposed to trust with her heart is more disturbed than she could ever imagine.
Even though Mei Li and Marcus live around the corner from each other in San Francisco’s Chinatown, the only thing they have in common is a trolley stop. Until the day they step through the same shop door and into a new possibility.
What starts as secret notes and texts quickly becomes a desperate attempt to be together. But together is impossible. Opposing futures, a tangle of dark connections, and one big secret come between them, forcing them to risk their safety for love or leave the possibility of together behind forever.

After Matt was found and hurt in the previous book, he was told he needed to take time to recover before he was allowed to go back in the field. While this is happening, they offer Adam a temporary position within the team just until Matt is back on his feet. That means Adam is back and causing havoc everywhere he goes yet again. Only this time, it’s in Egypt.

After a bunch of sandstorms hit Egypt, a giant pyramid is uncovered. Never discovered or entered by anyone in this day and age. After losing the lives of those they sent inside, Egypt realizes that they may need outside help and sends for the best of the best and the British Museum is one of the teams who answered the call. With traps, poison, scorpions and maybe even a banshee, it is near impossible to get inside to explore. This does not stop Adam and the crew, they will find a way in and discover the lost secrets no matter what.

Again, the author wrote the book with 2 different timelines, the present and this time about ancient Egypt. I have always been a fan of mythology so I was excited to learn that the past was written about Isis, Set, Anubis and other gods and goddesses from that time. I don’t know that much about the Egyptian Myths so I was excited to get to learn about them. On to the next book of the series!

When the duo were just mere children, they were betrothed due to a treaty between the two kingdoms. Amelia wants out of her arranged marriage especially since her heart belongs to another but once Dane meets her, he decides then and there that she is his whether she likes it or not.

Amelia will stop at nothing to try to end her engagement, including potential treason. Dane wants to be the best fighter on campus but having Amelia around is proving to be a distraction for him.

This being the first time that the 7 kingdoms are together, not all goes peacefully and Amelia and Dane have to put their differences aside to save not only themselves but others as well.

The book is written from multiple point of views giving you a glimpse into the budding romance of the main characters but also some outside plot. I really liked Dane’s character and was rooting for these enemies to become lovers from day one.

After this intriguing introduction to the series, I will most likely look into the rest of the series!

Betrayal of the Gods (Relic Hunters Book 5)Betrayal of the Gods by Martin Ferguson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the first book I read by Martin Ferguson, despite being the fifth book in the Relic Hunter Series. While technically this book COULD be read as a standalone, due to the character building and storylines from previous books that I’m assuming contribute to the reader’s understanding of this book, I would highly recommend reading them in order. (This is not to say it can’t be done, however there were many mentions of previous characters, etc. that I wish I would have had the previous stories to outline).
At any rate! I thoroughly enjoyed the marrying of Greek mythology with current artifact hunters, and especially enjoyed the interlacing of well known Greek myths with the tales of the lost city of Atlantis, a myth I know much less about. The relic hunters themselves were fun to “get to know” in the story, brothers trying to hunt down their father’s last mission (along with the very recent discovery that they unknowingly were following in their father’s footsteps).
Most importantly, I’m dying to read the next one because it definitely didn’t resolve here! Plan on reading book six FOR SURE!

Kingdom of 7 Sovereigns: WolfKingdom of 7 Sovereigns: Wolf by R.C. Reigh
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the first book in the series called Wolf. It is going to be a great series I can tell already. Each book will focus on a different couple and this couple is Princess Amelia of Avonlee and Prince Dane a wolf shifter. They are all in an academy where people from the Seven Kingdom have all joined together. Once enemies of each other are they really going to live peacefully now or is something sinister happening underneath the surface.

Amelia and Dane have been promised to each other as a way to keep the alliance between the wolfshifters and the Avonlee people secure. However Amelia has her sights set else where and is planning on changing Prince Danes mind about the whole arranged marriage.
Dane however has no intention of ending the agreement when as soon as he meets her he knows she is his fated mate. Now he is more determined than ever to show her that despite their arrangement they are actually fated mates. Amelia however is very stubborn and determined to push Dane away at every turn.
Will Amelia realised the truth or will her constant refusal lead to a breakdown between Amelia’s family and Dane’s pack?

The author does an incredible job of weaving this story full of adventure and magic. There are so many creative characters from wolf’s to dragons and witches to Fae. Each character is unique and I can’t wait to see and learn more about them as the series progresses.
