Aeon Of Wonder Carey L. Henderson
Aeon of Wonder: Stories of gods, angels and men Volume I - Carey Henderson

 

From the ancient Sumerians to the Egyptians to
Rome. From the Hebrew Semitic peoples and more.
This book encompasses fiction as mythos and
mythos as Truth played out over a Grand Stage:
the one we call Life. These works are the result of
wonder and awe, looking at the world through an
old lens, one that has not been so hampered by
ones and zeroes and modern nomenclature. It
seeks to prove nothing, only to invoke a moment of
thought and, perhaps, wonder and awe at the
world around us, this Grand Stage called Life.

 

 

 

 

This was an absolute pleasure to read. Very well written this book consists of six short tales, each about different aspects of Angels, Humans, demons and other spooky things!

I would definitely buy more stories from this author as his written style and ability to weave a tale is flawless. I won't go into the storylines as I don't want to spoil anything but honestly, it was a delight to read this book and I highly recommend it :)

Review of Immortal Rider by Larissa Ione
Immortal Rider - Larissa Ione

This is romance right? You know two, maybe three people nowadays, are gonna hook up. The key is to make the reader work for it. I didn't have to work at all. It was handed to me on a platter. As soon as I heard the prophecy I knew there was a loophole to the whole "Satan is gonna be my baby daddy" storyline.

I was given just enough info about Arik to like him, but I found the apocalyptic Limos a bit lacking as a warrior princess. She was actually quite whiny/needy in this read. I know she was written that way for all you romanticals (my word), but I would have liked a tougher chick.

Thanatos and Regan are a lovely potential couple and I'll be lurking in the shadows waiting on that book.

Everyone has powers and miraculously survive and thrive, making you suspend belief more than a little bit.

The world Ione created is a wild one and although this one wasn't the moon and stars, it was entertaining.

Strange Angels by Andrea Speed
Strange Angels - Andrea Speed

3 Hearts

Review written for MM Good Book Reviews

 

Bren is on the run with an angel, he is running for his life after being told he is part God and a homicidal God wants the powers he will develop. The only good to come out of his new found knowledge is his protector Dar, the hunky angel, who Bren has fallen in love with. Dar knows full well that Bren is holding enormous power that is just waiting to be tapped into, but being chased down isn't making it easy to train Bren. Calling in Gods to assist in protecting and training Bren is easier said than done, but protecting the demigod he has fallen in love with is his most challenging task yet. 
 
This is a pretty good paranormal/fantasy story that entertains with its gods and goddess', power struggles and god fights. The first thing I will say about this story is it shouldn't have been titled 'Strange Angels' it should have been titled 'Strange Gods' because these Gods are strange. Bren lived his life as a simple human before being attacked and rescued by Dar, but now he is a demigod in waiting on an adventure that takes him through gods dimensions and meeting temperamental gods some who want to destroy him. 
 
We don't really see much of Bren and Dar's relationship other than charge and protector, but we have brief moments where we discover how close they are either through words or actions. This story is all about Bren and his struggle to gain control of his powers while dodging the gods who want the power for themselves. We meet an interesting selection of strange gods and there are some humorous moments, there are also attacks and some power struggles and mini battles as the gods choose sides.
 
I recommend this to those who enjoy angels and gods, a love that is strong and fierce, some humor, interesting characters, a great storyline filled with danger and a touch of angst and a really sweet ending.
