Visual Inspiration – For the Love of Hades - Characters

                I’m a visual person. I’m also a movie addict. Combine the two and a lot of my characters are ‘played’ my actors and actresses. It helps me visualize them when I write, create ticks, hear their voice – that kind of thing. I know lots of people who use models, but that’s not enough for me. I need to get a sense of space and movement… Sound weird? Maybe it does – but, for me, it works.

Book Review: Only in Her Dreams (The Oneiroi, bk #1) By Christina McKnight

Only in Her Dream
(The Oneiroi Series, book #1)
By Christina McKnight

Synopsis: 
When Lucessa Sarcona awakes from a recurring dream, she has no idea her life is about to be turned upside down. A stranger, familiar to her dreams, shows up in the flesh, and Lucessa knows she’s either crazy or experiencing something not of this world.

A war ensues between three demigod brothers. One, trained to rule Erebos, is violently replaced. One forced to return to his homeland and lead the dream-gods of the Oneiroi. And one is charged with the impossible task of protecting Lucessa. How is she linked to the Oneiroi? Why do two brothers seek to keep her hidden and protected? And how does another plan to use her against the two demigods who love her?

Will Lucessa’s dream man have the courage to claim her as his own or will he bow to the command of another, forsaking the one he loves?

Viviana's Review: 

I liked it. The story was well written and each of the characters had their assigned roles. I kept hoping to learn more about the Erebos world and how Guy, Darious and Maxim all truly fit into that world as well as what major part does Lucessa play. Though Hera and Zeus make an appearance as well as Hades presence is assumed (he’s never identified by name), that is the extent of the Greek Mythology. I was hoping for more. The world building wasn't one that I was wowed by. This story could easily fit into any genre, even a suspense romance as there wasn't a whole lot of paranormal involved. I think ‘wanting more” is going to be a recurring theme in my review of “Only in Her Dreams”.

Book Review: Entwined by Elisabeth Naughton

Entwined
(Eternal Guardian Series, #2)
By Elisabeth Naughton

Synopsis: 
ZANDER — The most feared of all the Eternal Guardians. It’s rumored he can’t be killed, and he always fights like he has nothing to lose. But as a descendant of the famed hero Achilles, he’s got to have a vulnerability… somewhere.

Forces of daemons are gathering and have broken through the barriers of the Underworld. Now more than ever the Eternal Guardians are needed to protect both their own realm and the humans’. Zander can’t afford to think about what might have been with the bewitching physician he once regarded as his soul mate. But with eternity stretching before him, he also can’t fathom spending his life without the one woman who makes him feel most alive. Perhaps he’s found his weakness, after all…

Viviana's Review: 

Absolutely LOVED it!! Couldn't put it down!! The characters are excellently written! The males are strong alphas yet have a sensitivity to them that is brought on only by the Love for their mate! The women are strong and confident! Which is a breathe of fresh air considering that they are usually written as the weaker sex. The plot is brilliantly executed with highs and lows (dialogue & action). I was extremely thankful that she didn't "retell" book 1 as this is a series and some authors tend to feel that they need remind the reader what happened in the previous book.

Book Review: Enraptured by Elisabeth Naughton

Enraptured
(Eternal Guardian Series #4)
By Elisabeth Naughton

Synopsis:

Orpheus--To most he's an enigma, a devil-may-care rogue who does whatever he pleases whenever he wants. Now this loose cannon is part of the Eternal Guardians--elite warriors assigned to protect the human realm--whether he likes it or not.

Orpheus has just one goal: to rescue his brother from the Underworld. He's not expecting a woman to get in the way. Especially not a Siren as gorgeous as Skyla. He has no idea she's an assassin sent by Zeus to seduce, entrap, and ultimately destroy him.

Yet Skyla herself might have the most to lose. There's a reason Orpheus feels so familiar to her, a reason her body seems to crave him. Perhaps he's not the man everyone thinks... The truth could reveal a deadly secret as old as the Eternal Guardians themselves.

Viviana's Review: 

LOVED IT!! I have been eagerly waiting to read Orpheus’s story! We’ve gotten to know him throughout the series but we KNEW there was more to him than what he led on. Deemed the “bad boy” throughout the series, Orpheus has tried to live up to that perception, with some success. However, the Queen already knows his secret and not the one that Orpheus tries to hide the most, but the one that everyone believes to be true, that he is evil. She knows better! He’s helped her out too many times and knows they have a friendship, even if he denies it. Now, another woman, Skyla, a Siren sent to kill him, sees he isn’t just the smart ass, sarcastic, selfish being the Argonauts believes him to be. He struggles with his inner demons and the actual demon that is part of him.  For Skyla, there is also something oddly familiar about him. As they fight not only with each other, but to save Gryphon from the Underworld, they must both learn that there is more than meets the eye. Strings are being pulled in this ever growing game of dominance over the human realm and they must learn from the past and see what the future may hold for them.
