The book was great. It was a great mix of paranormal shape-shifters, greek mythology and mafia all rolled into one book. A lot of deaths tho and that suprised me. There's usually not a lot of violence in teen books but I guess there has to be in this book since the mafia plays a heavy part in it.The...
Book 1 of the Arkadien series was a roller coaster. Not of emotions, but of thought. Translated from German, the story is about 2 Italian mafia families who have been each others greatest enemy for years, but who are not what they appear. Rosa, of the Alcantara clan, finds her way back to Italy, ...

And since it was originally published in Germany, I was glad when I learned it would come out in the U.S. this year.After dealing with a horrible tragedy, Rosa Alcantara moves to Sicily to...
I only made it 50 pages into Kai Meyer's Arcadia Awakens. There is something off about the translation to me. Many of the phrases seem stilted and blunt. I have not read Meyer before; perhaps this is owing to style more than translation. Still, I never got into the story or wrapped my head around th...
That cover is a sure-fire way to pull you in and hold you until the very last word. The world that Kai Meyer creates in Sicily for Rosa and everyone she's involved with is a magical and suspenseful one.When Rosa first meets Alessandro on the plane, it's obvious that they'll be crossing paths again, ...
I really like it when authors write out of the box. The idea behind this book and watching it unfold really capture me. I liked that is wasn't something typically but really unique. A cross between Atlantians and ancient blood lines sparking powerful mafia families is quick to capture the reader an...
