Betrayal of the Gods is Book Five in the Relic Hunters Series. It is a YA adventure with drama, action, mystery, intrigue, and danger. The story is superbly written and full of historical detail, Greek mythology and folklore. Brothers Matt and Adam must race against time to try to solve the mystery around what happened to their father. In this adventure the brothers find themselves without the help of their team and aided only by their wit and skills to solve the mystery. A fast-paced story with twists and turns that will keep you riveted and have you reading until the final pages. I highly recommend this book and this series!

Betrayal of the Gods is the 5th book in the series, and as with all the others, can be completely stand alone. I will be honest, I wasn’t sure what to expect when I started the first one, but I was hooked literally from the beginning. I finished Eagle of the Empire and immediately dove into the next.. and then the next.. and then the next! They are easy to read, totally captivating and I cannot put them down. The blend of POVs between the past and present is amazing. The historical accuracy that also meets fiction, fantasy and what could have been is such a cool twist and perspective. I love how the past adventures and POV provides their own story in and of itself. Then it meets with the current timeline and you get a completely different story that builds on the past of ancient times.
This book takes us to a timeline of Greek heroes and tragedies, battles in Troy, and famous lost cities. I loved exploring the Mediterranean with Matt and Adam and seeing the past come to life as you get the back and forth POV between both timelines. I cannot wait to see what happens next! Will they find out what happened to their father? Will they truly find Atlantis and if so, what will it be like? WHAT on earth is going to happen with the UN and the museum?! So much going on in a single story! Completely hooked!

Blood of the Dragon is the 4th book in the Relic Hunters series and does not disappoint! Such an incredible retelling of Dracula. I am completely fascinated by that tale and I love the unique storytelling abilities provided by the author here! There were Easter eggs in the previous book that alluded to a future vampire tale, and I’m so glad the story was brought to life sooner than I had expected! Such a unique retelling from Vlad’s youth and the backstory on how the monster came to be. I really loved that aspect!
That combined with Adam and Matt fighting the present day Dracula just added a whole other element of intrigue and suspense. Loved it, definitely recommend!

Curse of the Sands is the 2nd book int he Relic Hunters series, but gives enough backstory that can be read as a stand alone, but also doesn’t bog down the current storyline. The 2nd book finds Adam battling ancient Egyptian curses, exploring pyramids and saving the world. The shifting POV between current timeline and the past still fascinates me with the accuracy and the fiction blend, and it’s almost like getting two stories in one. I love learning and reading about ancient Egypt and this was a story idea that I had never encountered before, so providing a very unique view point on something that has been written about for ages. Truly a great story!

War of the Damned was incredible! I love history and the back and forth POV between the current timeline and the past is so fun. I love the historical accuracy mixed with the fiction of what could have been. This is the second book in the series, but provides enough backstory that you really could read it stand alone and be fine. The 2nd dives into WW2 and the conspiracy theory of the Nazi SS soldiers searching to mythical legends and fantastical, mystical ways to enhance their “superior race”. Such a fun read. 10/10 recommend.

I absolutely loved this book! I haven’t read anything by this author before so I wasn’t sure what to expect. This book is great for YA and my son will love it. This book is like Uncharted meets Gladiator. While definitely a work of fiction, the author takes great care to make sure things are historically accurate as possible- I really got caught up in the adventure and immediately dove into the second book!

Wolf is the first book in the Kingdom of 7 Sovereigns series, an incredibly enthralling romance academy read. I have to mention how beautiful the cover is, and that it really caught my eye! Definitely made it hard to resist that age-old saying of not judging a book by its cover! I loved this book so much, the character development was just perfect! I haven’t had the pleasure of reading R.C. Reigh’s work until now, but I absolutely cannot wait to get my hands on more of this series!! Just a fantastic read!

10/10 I loved this book! This awesome mix of fantasy, romance, and political drama gets you hooked from the beginning. I havent stopped thinking about these characters since I finished it. The world the author dreamed up is vivid and so easy to picture yourself in! I cant wait to read the entire series!

C. Reigh – Review by Tausha Treadway
Adam Hunter is a sixteen year old boy who lives a boring life, always getting into trouble to make his life more exciting. That is until he gets news that his older brother, Matt, is missing. Turns out Matt was living a double life. Adam thought his brother worked a boring desk job. That was far from the truth. He actually was a relic hunter working for a British Museum. Adam may be the only one who can find his brother through encrypted clues left behind in Matt’s journal he kept.
Matt was looking for the lost Eagle of the ninth legion. Something that was thought of as just a myth. Adam leaves behind everything he knows and makes his way to Rome to try to find the Eagle and his brother. He isn’t the only one on the hunt for the Eagle though and the people also relic hunting are very dangerous. With the help from Matt’s team at the museum, Adam realizes he must not fail. Lives are at stake.
The author wrote this book in two different timelines, the present and back sometime around 70 AD. I personally am not a huge fan of roman history but I liked how the author wrote from the perspective of someone from that time, plus the present day was full of mystery and action that kept me engaged. I also enjoyed Adam’s character growth. He lived in the shadow of his older brother and felt unworthy but since Matt’s saving was up to Adam, he had time to live up to his potential and grow up in a way. I am excited to see what the Hunter brothers are up to next.

This is the 5 th book in The Relic Hunters Series. Although each book can be read as a standalone, you have more knowledge and background of the storylines and characters if you read them in order. It’s been a while since I read the first book but it didn’t take long before I was sucked into Matt and Adam’s adventure. I especially like reading about the different locations the brothers travel to and search for the relic. The world the author created is action packed, keeps the story moving, and we get to know these characters and why they hunt for the relics.

First the cover caught my eye then the synopsis piqued my interest. By the end of the first chapter I was fully hooked. I could not put the book down. It started as just one more chapter before bed and ended with finishing the book a few hours past when I should have been asleep. There is adventure, rivals, academy setting, and a unique cast of characters. Bonus, enemies to rivals trope.
I am definitely a fan of this series and cannot wait to get lost in the next book in the series.

Relic Hunters: Betrayal of the Gods (Relic Hunters Series) by Martin Ferguson . This is the 5th installment in the Relic Hunter series and it follows 2 brothers Matt and Adam. They are continuing their mission to find the lost city of Atlantis. The brothers are facing something they’ve never had to deal with in a battle and that is they have no equipment or supplies to help them fight the battle of their lives. They have to rely on their skills and smarts as they fight. The boys learn so much about Greek myths thru this story and they learn they don’t know nearly as much as they thought they did. There is a side story about Princess Alaina of Atlantis and her fight in the Trojan War as well. This is a fast paced young adult story that will keep you on the edge of your seat and you will want to finish it when you start. I highly recommend reading these in order to help you better understand the story line and characters.

Kingdom of the Ocean is the sixth and final book in the Relic Hunters series by Martin Ferguson. This was a bit of a bittersweet read for me knowing I was diving into the conclusion of this superb series, but also desperately needing to know how everything plays out in the end after everything they/we have been through. As with the other instalments in this series, this is a fantastic young adult action-adventure with wonderful characters, treasure hunting, the quest for Atlantis, family friendship, historical details, mythology, drama, mystery, danger, investigation, tension, an intriguing & complex plot, high stakes, and a race against time. This instalment picks up where the previous book left off, so if you are yet to read that book, or are yet to start the series, then I highly recommend that you do so before starting out on this final adventure. There are really important details, bridging storyline/arch, character introductions, backstories, and other important information contained in the previous books which you need to know in order to fully appreciate this fantastic instalment, as well as the series as a whole. Mr. Ferguson has done a fantastic job of delivering an exciting and fitting conclusion to the series, while ensuring that the various threads that have spanned the series were all tied up. But, I am ever hopeful that there are many more possible Relic Hunter adventures yet to come in the future — as even though the story and threads were tied up (for these six books and one novella)- things are left quite ‘open’ at the end…….. suggesting (at least to my ever-hopeful little heart anyway) that there are many more treasures/legends/myths/adventure left for the team to pursue I will again mention that this series would make a really great movie, TV series, or adventure/RPG game. Highly recommend for anyone who loves YA epic adventures, history, treasure hunting quests, and mysteries. Looking forward to seeing what Mr. Ferguson has in store for us next! Happy Reading…

So, I haven’t read any of this series previously but I actually found it pretty easy to read and follow. This isn’t my usual genre to read either but I thought the synopsis sounded interesting so thought I would give it a try. I was really impressed with the authors writing style, his writing was very engaging and I know my attention was kept throughout. It was easy to read and was a perfect book for YA readers. There was quite a lot going on in the story, it was very fast paced and full of action but at the same time it wasn’t confusing and easy to follow. The characters are really interesting and I would certainly like to read the previous books in the story to find out more about them. Overall a really good read and one that I would highly recommend.

Kingdom of 7 Sovereigns: Wolf is Book 1 in this series and can I say I LOVED this story. I was first drawn the beautiful cover and intrigued by the story-line….this gave me all that I love with a Fantasy YA Romance story. This is a new author to me and I am feeling already invested to see where this series of magic, shifters, fated mates, drama, angst, hidden agendas and some romance will take me. This story has multiple POVs , and this really brought the story together.
What are the chances of a strong princess in Amelia and a wolf shifter, Dane could be fated mates? It is true and Amelia at first wants no parts of having an arrangement of marriage that serves value to her people…she wants to make her own choices. Prince Dane of Carpathia is trying with is every being to accept what his fate is with a treaty that his father has in store for him and also a marriage arrangement with Princess Amelia. Prince Dane is trying to get to know Amelia slowly, especially through Amelia’s cousin, Cora…but his patience is wearing thin to where it is very frustrating. With a necromancer’s daughter, Kessera, with a mist of chaos and her own agenda, Prince Dane and Princess Amelia must try to work together for the greater good…but with vampires, goblins and attacks happening at the castle…will Prince Dane be able to be there for Princess Amelia……….and will the princess finally be able to break down her wall around her heart and give Prince Dane a chance….
Definitely read and find out. I cannot say enough about this story…it is truly fantastic…I am already looking forward to the next book with dragons…

Admittedly I was drawn to the Relic Hunters series originally because of its whimsical and interesting cover art. I truly had never seen anything like it before, and as soon as I read the back cover of the first book, Eagle Of the Empire, I knew I had to read it. I was immediately transported into Adam and Matt’s world with no way out. Before I knew it I had finished the first five books of this legendary adventure. I have never read a series as captivating as this one, where each amazing book is so much better than the last. The inclusion of history and myths makes Adam and the gang’s story feel almost nostalgic. I adore Adam and really enjoyed getting to deeply know his character. Ferguson is very skilled at developing his characters and their relationships so naturally. The flow between past and present was smooth, I also loved the structure of these books and the use of different perspectives other than Adam. It also helped the flow of the story and helped me see it as a whole. I really enjoyed Ferguson’s tone with The Relic Hunters series and his inclusion of humor with the action. Each book is my favorite book until I read the next one in this entrancing and intriguing series. Every book had me more on the edge of my seat than the last, audibly gasping at the pages. This Young Adult Series will have anyone at any age coming back for more! I for one can not wait to sink my teeth into the Sixth installment of this series Kingdom Of The Oceans!

Each book is my favorite book until I read the next one in this entrancing and intriguing series. Every book had me more on the edge of my seat than the last, audibly gasping at the pages. This Young Adult Series will have anyone at any age coming back for more! I for one can not wait to sink my teeth into the Sixth installment of this series Kingdom Of The Oceans!

Admittedly I was drawn to the Relic Hunters series originally because of its whimsical and interesting cover art. I truly had never seen anything like it before, and as soon as I read the back cover of the first book, Eagle Of the Empire, I knew I had to read it. I was immediately transported into Adam and Matt’s world with no way out. Before I knew it I had finished the first five books of this legendary adventure. I have never read a series as captivating as this one, where each amazing book is so much better than the last. The inclusion of history and myths makes Adam and the gang’s story feel almost nostalgic. I adore Adam and really enjoyed getting to deeply know his character. Ferguson is very skilled at developing his characters and their relationships so naturally. The flow between past and present was smooth, I also loved the structure of these books and the use of different perspectives other than Adam. It also helped the flow of the story and helped me see it as a whole. I really enjoyed Ferguson’s tone with The Relic Hunters series and his inclusion of humor with the action.

I just finished reading Betrayal of the Gods and realised there was another book to get my hands on. Kingdom of the Oceans is the sixth tale in this series that never fails to take you on an exciting adventure into the unknown but filled with historical facts and fiction. Martin Ferguson’s Relic Hunters series reminds me of the TV series of the same name plus others like it, Blood and Treasure, National Treasure and the like. I have said it before, and I will say it again whether you are a YA or in your sixties this adventure story is one you will not want to put down. It has it all to make it an epic read with thrills, mystery, drama and danger that will have your heart pumping as the Adam and Matt chase after the mystical lost kingdom of Atlantis with the bad guys hot on their tails. With some cleverly woven threads, a few twists turns and an engaging and engrossing storyline this is one you do not want to miss. Make sure to read all the books in order to see what other adventures the Relic team get to go on. As usual I can’t wait for more from Martin as he never lets me down.

Such a great book. I wasn’t ready for it to end. I love academy based books as well as fantasy so I was a very happy camper with this book.
The college has taken about 22 years to ensure the safety of the students inside, which are royals and their protectors from each of the 7 kingdoms. The college has different species from the kingdoms come together in cooperation. To learn from each other.
Amelia is as stubborn as they come. We find out at the end why but I thoroughly enjoyed her struggle along the way. Cora, her best friend from her court, tries everything to keep Amelia on the straight and narrow and help her through the stress of her betrothed. Amelia of course does not make this easy.
I loved the interactions with Amelia and Dane. They both have work to do on themselves.
Fae, humans, wolves, healers, and a necromancer and the academy is in for fun. Excited to read book two. I need more.

C. Reigh – Review by Deb Robinson
I enjoyed the dynamic between Matt and Adam. I loved how I love the mythology references in this story. I was able to enjoy this as a standalone not having read the previous books, which I feel like I might need to read those as well. Enjoyed the story and want to know more about Matt and Adam. I can’t wait to read more by this author.

I haven’t been this excited about a YA series since Percy Jackson. Wolf, the first book in the Kingdom of 7 Sovereigns, is an enemies to lovers tale. Duty bound Amelia of Avonlee is betrothed to Dane of Carpathia with the hope that their union will provide her smaller kingdom with protection. To make things even more complicated, she must now attend a school with children from all seven kingdoms, including Dane.
Bastion Academy is the realms last ditch effort to build bridges between kingdoms but some of the nobles just want to watch the world burn and I am so here for it!
R. C. Reigh has renewed my love of YA Fantasy, and I cannot wait for the next book!

Kingdom of 7 Sovereigns is the first book in this series about four young royals managing their way through a school that began as a way for different kingdoms to build relationships with one another. Coming out of a war that their parents almost lost against the underworld, the royals realized that they had to stop infighting so that they could defeat their common enemy. The forming of a school to teach their children altogether is their hope for a better future of peace. However, their children also have a mind of their own.
Amelia of Avonlee has been promised to Dane of Carpathia and is not too happy about it. She would much rather choose her own path. Dane does not want to make anyone do anything they do not want to do, but fate steps in and has other plans. Cora wants nothing but her cousin Amelia’s happiness and safety. Kessara, the necromancer’s daughter, is a loner that just wants to cause chaos. New friendships are made, hearts are crushed, and attacks abound on this new school. Can these teens work together or will they end up mortal enemies?
This is my first time reading this author. I have to say, I really enjoyed this book! I would have liked more background information on the war, but there is enough given that I could piece it together. The characters were easy to read about and picture in my mind. The relationships made, the self-discovery, and disappointments were relatable even though it is fantasy. I am looking forward to the next book to see where this story goes, especially with Kessara. I hope the author will surprise the readers with a character twist!

4.5/5 Stars This is such a great entrance to fantasy for YA readers. The world building is excellent. The author gives great details for the story. At first I wasn’t thrilled when I saw the multi POV, but it’s done very well in this book. This is a great first read of the series and I know the 2nd book will be just as good.
