The first book in the Relic Defender Series turned me onto paranormal stories. The second book in the Series, The Death Skull, does not disappoint. It is a great combination of mystery, adventure, ass-kicking and hot sizzling sexual chemistry. I couldn’t put it down! The story is obviously very well researched and combines aspects of archeology with history and mysticism. Although I’m a huge fan of Maya history that has climbed all over the Maya ruins and so may be a bit prejudice.Knight is a great writer and storyteller. Marisol’s struggle with her desire for Jackson and her lack of desiring redemption are very believable. Jackson’s character is slightly less believable because it’s hard to fathom that he would follow through on his secret plan.I also like that, despite this book being part of a series, there was a definite beginning and end to this part of the story. Although there is plenty of foreshadowing with regard to the final book of the series, the reader is not left hanging. I also liked that the romance between Marisol and Jackson is completely different than the love story from Lexi and Mikos (although I would have enjoyed seeing more of those two in this novel). I can’t wait for the third and final installment in the series.I recommend this book to lovers of adventure and romance.
