This book is part of The Night series and although easily works as a standalone I think probably will make a lot more sense if these books are read in order as previous story lines impact a great deal here.Deep in the heart of the Yucatan  jungle resides the ancient Mayan god Issa. He's weary to his very soul of all the sacrifices he has overseen and beyond tired of all the blood he has spilled . Now he's called to help his fellow Night Walkers as their very existence could be about to end.Muriah is human but has the gift of psychometry and is able to use it to find missing objects . She's located an ancient codex for her sometimes lover but he's butchered before she can tell him. Distraught and confused the last thing Muriah expects is to be questioned by a strange man who literally seems to disappear into thin air! Seeking the advice of trusted friends she's pulled headlong into an adventure with the most arrogant and obnoxious man she's ever met. Unfortunately that man is not human he's a god and Muriah finds herself helping him unravel the mystery of an ancient prophecy but they are not the only ones looking for answers and so begins a dangerous chase.I've read a few of this authors books since I discovered her work last year and I think this series is probably my favourite by her. Her characters are not always likeable and can take a while to worm their way into the readers heart but when that connection is made boy is it strong! A case in point would be Issa the most egotistical male around and yet his transformation as he reconnects with his humanity is a joy to behold.  Seeing him form a bond with the spirited Muriah changed the whole feel of this story and it was good to see her change from an almost reclusive woman to one who could and would embrace life and love.Having read the title fans of this series would be mistaken if they think this book is just about the birth of a new Night Walker child. This may be the last of the series but it's about a new beginning and filled with love, friendship and loyalty. A great series and this author is truly ascending to new heights. Recommended
