Ajax Petrakos and his Spartan brothers made a deal with Ares to become immortal to protect the human race from the evil that threatens us. After centuries, Ajax is ready for peace in his life and to find that he must find his true love.
Shay Angel is part of a demon hunting family. Being the youngest and a female, her brothers are overly protective of her. She can see the demons roaming the streets but she can’t help but wonder if there is something more to her special gift.
To Ajax, eternity has become a prison. What gets him through the long years is his destiny of finding his one true mate. When the Oracle sends him to Savannah, Georgia, he finally finds Shay but he isn’t the first. Ajax’s worst enemy Sable has come back and knows Shay’s true gift and destiny. Because of a past conflict, Sable will do anything to ruin Ajax even if it means taking Shay. Ajax is on a time limit to keep Shay protected and also find the clues to an ancient prophecy detailing what Shay’s and his true destiny will be.
This was a great concept to the Spartan soldiers. I did get a bit lost in a few places around the beginning, but the description was good so it didn’t take long to get back on track. You can’t go wrong with this fast paced, action packed book. I would read it again and I recommend it to all my friends. This is the first in the Gods of Midnight series (Yay! There will be more.).
Along with being a novelist, Ms. Knight is a mom and a literary agent. You can check out her website at http://www.deidreknight.com/ you can also send her emails at deidre@deidreknight.com.

Jack Hampton is a true patriot. With his strong beliefs in independence he will do anything for his and others’ freedom. With the British invasion and men turning against men it is really hard for Jack to trust anyone.
After being widowed Anne Merrick uses her brains and wits to show that she can be independent and not have to rely on a man. She is a very strong willed woman and also very smart. Even when her store is ruined because it got out she was printing Tory propaganda she prevails and just keeps going.
The group gets information that the Widow Merrick is using her print press to print Tory propaganda. With finding evidence of her printing they set out to destroy her shop but Jack vows to keep an eye on the Widow. Jack follows Anne when she is out doing an errand for her shop, with this he finds himself saving her from a vicious attack by a couple of men. And out of this a friendship builds between them.
Anne and her friend Sally decided to stay on to take care of Anne’s wounded brother, whom Jack also saved, who is hiding in her home. But with the British pounding on her door in order to survive she must show her loyalty to the King of England. But while serving tea and scones to the military men she decides to do her part for the cause she befriends Captain Blankenship. Through this friendship Anne gathers helpful information for General George Washington. When given information about Anne being on the Kings side Jack is furious. The one person who thought he could really trust. He sets out to find the truth about Anne.
Be prepared to be swept back into time. Ms. Blevins, while mixing both fact and fiction, has written a moving story. I enjoyed Jack and Anne but I really loved Anne’s friend Sally. She has a very quick mouth ready to put a man in his spot. In a time when trust is tested the relationship between Jack and Anne went through a lot of struggles but with time they show that a beautiful love can blossom. This being the first in a trilogy I am looking forward to the next in the series.
Ms. Blevins resides in Illinois with her family. She enjoys hearing from her readers you can contact her at chris@christineblevins.com.

After the murder of her younger sister, Jordan Sampson decides to become a homicide detective. She is a very strong and smart woman. She is dealing with an ex husband at the same time she trying to understand why her daughter doesn’t want to be with here when some terrible murders happen that is closer to her than she realizes.
Jordan Sampson loves her job as a homicide detective but the only thing she loves more is her daughter Mandy. When Mandy grows more estranged from her for unknown reasons to Jordan and skips their weekend visitation, Jordan decides to attend her high school reunion where she meets up with her past high school sweet heart Clint. Unknown to Jordan her reunion also sets off a killer’s rampage. While Jordan struggles with building a relationship with Clint and trying to make some progress with her daughter, a killer is out killing her old cheerleading squad one by one. She is on a very tight time limit to find this killer before she is the next on the killer’s list.
Ms. Cassidy had me from page one. The build up of suspense was an edge of your seat thrill ride. Jordan was the best she is a very strong character. To have a very high pressure job and also dealing with the pressure of her personal life she kept her head up and kept going. I would highly recommend this to all. Like all good suspense you will be very surprised at the end. I look forward to reading more from Ms. Cassidy.

Tripp had a hard time understanding why his dad would believe the lies of his girlfriends’ daughter and not his own son. Not wanting to stick around anymore he left home at an early age and had to grow up quickly to survive.
Reggie, who had to follow her money hungry mom go from boyfriend to boyfriend, had only really wanted one thing in life. She just wanted to actually belong some where, to belong to a family.
After being away from home for 11 years Tripp returns home for his dad’s funeral. Even after all these years Tripp still holds a very bitter grudge against Reggie for breaking up his family. After all these years Reggie still believes she did the right thing by setting Tripp’s dad’s prized horse free but she feels terrible for putting a wedge between the two men. After the will is read to both Tripp and Reggie’s surprise there is an extra stipulation Tripp’s dad added. In order for the ranch to stay in the family and not given away, they must work together and bring back Mason’s Gold to the ranch. They both have to come to terms from mistakes from the past but what they both didn’t expect is the passion and also the friendship that grows on their journey.
What a truly enjoyable book. Both Tripp’s and Reggie’s struggles were clearly described. At first I really didn’t like Reggie, she was a bit too selfish for me but more into the book I got to understand her character more and I couldn’t help but hope for the best for both Reggie and Tripp.
