review 1: Alena and Ares are waiting for the birth of their son, Raven while living on Mt. Olympus. Even though they are miserable on the frozen mountain, a promise is a promise and they are stuck there instead of on their beautiful, warm island. However, Alena’s pregnancy is not going well and after Raven is born he shows signs of being much more powerful than his mixed blood should make him. How will the couple survive the behind the scenes machinations of their enemies Zeus, Apollo and Aphrodite? But the better question is: how will they survive raising a child who makes Lucifer look like a giggling toddler?Although this is book two, there is no need to read book one in order to understand the story. The rich descriptions, three-dimensional characters and twisty-turny plot are ... morethe best things about this tale of mythology gone wild. The characters themselves, however leave much to be desired. Alena is woefully weak and willfully ignorant. Instead of exploring her powers, she prefers to bury her head in the sand, pretending everything will be fine. Ares is stubborn, arrogant and completely blind to his own faults. Raven is evil personified. If that weren’t enough, the book ends abruptly as if cut off with a cleaver. There is no resolution and the reader is left to rise bewildered from the sludge of evil. A few redeeming characters would have made this story a much easier pill to swallow.Warning: Includes implied incest, rape, anal sex and orgy scenes.
review 2: I received this book in exchange for an honest review (LoP or Lovers of Paranormal)I didn't read the first one but it doesn't matter because I understood what the series was about.I have to say that I loved reading this book. Usually when I love something I just read it in one sitting but this book I had to put down a couple of times. The intensity in this book was so high. Imagien a Young couple (Ares and Alena )having their first baby and all they whant is a happy marriage. But his relatives dosn't like Alena they don't want her there, and they are poisoning Ares mind. Turning him against his love.It is never easy to have to fight with the in-laws, but when your in-laws are the Olympian Gods then your chances arenot so good.A lot of jealousy,manipulation and betrayal that's what's waiting for them.And the strongest most ruthless off them all is yet to bee born.
