TOUR, REVIEW & #GIVEAWAY - Marek (Guardians of Hades #4) by Felicity Heaton
Marek (Guardians of Hades #4) - Felicity Heaton

@felicityheaton, #Paranormal, #Romance, 4 out of 5 (very good)

 

Marek is the fourth book in the Guardians of Hades series and I really couldn't wait for the researcher's story! He has been hinted at in the previous books but, of course, you don't find out much until he gets his own story.

Marek has his past that he is "dealing" with. Well, he's not, not really, but it makes him feel better. Caterina goes out hunting vampires every night because she thinks if she kills his sire, her brother will return to 'normal'. When these two meet, sparks fly... literally!

Poor Marek! And poor Caterina!! Both of them were hurting before they found each other but even then it didn't go smoothly. Now, of course, I know it never does but these two really had it bad. How about turning into something the man you're falling for hates and literally fights every day? Yeah, not easy. However, in true Felicity Heaton style, they not only managed to overcome these obstacles but also found their HEA along the way. Of course, they also found murder, more mystery, betrayal, and heartbreak but it's all for a good cause!

Book Review of Marek (Guardians of Hades Romance Series Book 4) by Felicity Heaton
Marek (Guardians of Hades #4) - Felicity Heaton

Prince of the Underworld and Lord of Earth, Marek was banished from his home by his father, Hades, two centuries ago and given a new duty and purpose—to keep our world and his from colliding in a calamity foreseen by the Moirai. Together with his six brothers, he fights to defend the gates to the Underworld from daemons bent on breaching them and gaining entrance to that forbidden land, striving to protect his home from their dark influence.

 

Haunted by a betrayal that shattered him and set him on a dark path of vengeance, Marek closely guards his heart, as determined to keep it safe as he is to wipe the scourge of vampires from the world.

 

Until a hunt lands him in the presence of a beautiful woman who threatens to steal that heart as she battles his sworn enemy, her graceful moves igniting a passion so fierce and hunger so deep it consumes him.

 

Caterina's sole purpose for the last decade has been freeing her brother of the curse of being turned into a vampire. When an alluring dark warrior steps in to help her battle a nest of bloodsuckers, her entire life is tipped off balance. She knows deep in her heart, the warrior can help her save her brother, but can she trust a man who is driven to slay every vampire he meets?

 

When Marek's enemy emerges from the shadows, and Caterina is pulled down a dark rabbit hole into a dangerous world, will they be strong enough to overcome their pride and their prejudices or will a dark turn of events shatter both their hearts?

 

Review 4.5 rounded up to 5*

 

Marek is the fourth book in the Guardians of Hades series. I loved it!

 

Marek is one of six son's of Hades. He is an intriguing character, and I liked him a lot. When he was first introduced in the series, I thought Marek was the more studious brother since he enjoyed researching. However, he is also a fierce warrior. I found it a pleasure to get to see into his life. There is a darkness within Marek that was not immediately obvious. It's this darkness that leads him to crossing paths with Caterina.

Caterina is a woman on a mission. I liked her spunky-ness and determination to save her brother. Family is important to her since it's just her and her brother. When a stranger helps her fight vampires, she is intrigued by him. Unfortunately, she gets pulled into the tug-of-war between Marek's family and their enemy, and her life will never return to normal.

 

It's been a year since the last Guardians of Hades book, and I've been eagerly awaiting Marek's story. I started to read and was pulled back into the fantastic world built by the author.

 

It was a pleasure meeting the other brothers and their new loves once more. Hades and Persephone also make an appearance; they are typical parents - overprotective and loving. Karas and Calistos are the only two brothers who haven't had their stories told yet. However, the author made mention of Calistos's twin, Calindria, who had died several years before. It made me wonder if she could still potentially be alive somewhere when someone close to her briefly made an appearance, however, back to the review.

 

The brothers still have a lot to do to avoid the prediction the Morai made about the human world and Underworld's impending collision. I was glad, however, when a specific character met their fate, but now wonder if Caterina's brother will play a more prominent role at some point. There are fast-paced fight scenes, which are this author's forte. She can bring them to life, so I always enjoy those, and the romance between Marek and Caterina scorched the pages even though there weren't as many opportunities for togetherness.

 

I am now looking forward to reading Calistos's story soon.

 

Felicity Heaton has written another fast-paced, sexy paranormal romance that I thoroughly enjoyed. I love her fast-paced writing style, which flows effortlessly from scene to scene. She is on top of my favourite author's list.

 

Each book of this series could be read as a stand-alone, as this one does not end in a cliffhanger, though I would recommend reading them in order. I do not recommend this book to younger readers due to the extremely HOT and explicit sexual scenes. However, I highly recommend this book (and series) if you love sexy paranormal romances full of gods and daemons. - Lynn Worton

Mit smoka wawelskiego. O mojej najnowszej książce słów kilka!

Może kogoś to zdziwi, że w takich smutnych czasach promuję swoją książkę o smoku wawelskim, ale ona dotyczy właśnie problemu zła na świecie.

Kiedyś człowiek nie rozumiał pewnych zjawisk biologicznych czy społecznych i ich znaczenie tłumaczył w kategoriach m.in. biblijnych, jako obecność szatana objawionego przez smoka (na przykład zob.: "I został strącony wielki Smok, Wąż starodawny, który się zwie diabeł i szatan, zwodzący całą zamieszkałą ziemię, został strącony na ziemię, a z nim strąceni zostali jego aniołowie" Ap 12, 9 ).

O co chodzi w mojej książce? Sprawa to prosta! Rozwiązałem zagadkę mitu smoka wawelskiego! To nie był smok! Nie każdy potwór musiał być smokiem. Jego pokonanie uznali dawni kronikarze za  chwalebny czyn i z czasem ta historyjka, uważana kiedyś za prawdziwą, stała się największym mitem narodowym, ale dziś zapomnianym i sprowadzonym do świata bajek!

Polecam moją książkę pt. "Rozważania o chwalebnym smokobójstwie. Mit smoka wawelskiego"! 

 

 

.

Jeśli klikniesz  link, to możesz przeczytać spory fragment: Rozważania o chwalebnym smokobójstwie. Mit smoka wawelskiego

Jest to jedna z kilku moich książek o smokach, ale tym razem najnowsza. Dotyczy idei walki ze złem, zwanego smokobójstwem na przykładzie mitu smoka wawelskiego.  

Książkę można nabyć w systemie online w wersji e-booka i w postaci drukowanej kolorowej i czarno-białej (link wyżej).

Pozdrawiam!

Jurassic Carp: My Big Fat Zombie Goldfis... Jurassic Carp: My Big Fat Zombie Goldfish - Mo O'Hara,Marek Jagucki
For more reviews, check out my blog: Craft-Cycle

This is probably the most ridiculous of the series so far in terms of plans and plots, but it was quite enjoyable. These books are so weird, hilarious, and creative. They are great quick reads and are very unique.

In this book, the first story details the gang's strange experience at the medieval day reenactment. This one was pretty out there (there's no way that sling shot parachute plan would have worked), but it was still a fun story. Definitely not to be taken too seriously. The second story is a spoof of Jurassic Park with zombie goldfish, so obviously a good time.

Well-written, completely odd and enjoyable, with great illustrations that help break up the text and pair well with the narration. This book was a fun read and I'm excited to read some of the spin-offs featuring Mark and Sami.

My Big Fat Zombie Goldfish 4: Any Fin is Possible - Mo O'Hara,Marek Jagucki
For more reviews, check out my blog: Craft-Cycle

Another wonderful zombie goldfish adventure, just the stress-reliever I needed right now. One thing I love about this series is its consistency. Each story is unique and different, but the quality, humor, and amazingness stays the same. With so many series, I find the later books not quite up to par with the first few, but these have all been great so far.

Both of the stories included in this book were fun, hilarious, and a pleasure to read. Nice, simple writing style that is easy to follow and makes the reader want to continue with the story. Great for reluctant readers. The pictures also help to break up the text and coincide well with the story.

Awesome book. I've already checked out the fifth book from the library and can't wait to read it.
