ezandgraces's Reviews (135)

I'm writing this review to remind myself to read more books with archeologist main characters, because this was written so beautifully it has me hooked.

I cannot wait for the third book to come out. I binged the first 2 books in one day. I love the world building.

I really lived the story and the characters, however I really didn't like

the pregnancy in the epilogue. I just dont like unexpected pregnancies in general, and the book had set Anastasia up to be driven and going for the Olympics all to take that away from her and get her pregnant was annoying

the book is also quite spicy.

It reminds me of Terry Pratchett's the last hero. 

I wouldn't have thought to pick up this book had I not been doing a reading challenge, as it is not my usual read. But I am so glad I did. We all think we wouldn't fall for a cult, but as this book portrays the fall is easier than it looks.

I love how Blain manages to mix so much humor and absurdity into what would otherwise be a very dark urban fantasy. 

I loved the series, the books are very funny.  

I was a bit worried when there were new plot threads introduced so late in the book, however it was all wrapped up really well. I'm also kind of sad we didnt get to meet Bailey and Quinn's kids.

 

It's a good story, however I don't think I was in the right mood to fully appreciate it. I'm glad I did finish it, as I was tempted to DNF it, and come back to it when I havent just gone into a reading slump. However the last quater of the book really picked up speed and kept me going. 

My friend recommended it to me and I do trust her book opinions, so its worth giving it a try.
