So, if you know me, you know I have told you all about how much I loved the Redemption series with Marcas (oh baby), Dayton (sarcasm on a stick), Monroe & Connor. But I was so busy gushing over them, that I don't know if I told you about Connors spin off - The Acropolis Series? Well, I should have. This is the second book from that series, and I tell you, RK's writing & storytelling was wonderful, but this book has proven that this woman just goes from strength to strength. Her awesomeness knows no limits."Life chose us. And in the end, it may not be the map we wanted to follow, but it's the map we're left with. The path you choose is the one that defines you. Our race deserves a chance." *So true*This sequel had everything I loved about the Redemption Series, and the first book The Acropolis. It was jam packed full of action, emotion, forgiveness, friendship and unity. It even had a bit of Marcas & Dayton. I probably shouldn't say I let out a little squeal when I saw them, should I?!"Oh, my God! Seriously! And this is the group our king has chosen to save our race from annihilation?""It could be worse," I mumble. "Marcas could have summoned Superman.""And you have a problem with Superman?" Gray asks.I snort."Have you seen the old movies, the comic renditions? Manly went out the window when they put the curl on his forehead." *lolz*There certainly were tough times for Connor, Emma and the other hybrids. It wasn't easy succeeding in the mission the hybrid king set for them. They faced overwhelming odds & so many other things during their trip through Enipsigos's labyrinth to retrieve the spear of destiny. I don't want to tell you that death claimed 2 of their own, that they faced a headless man, a wolf thingo that knew their inner conflictions, nearly drown, and other obstacles. You must read it to comprehend how incredible their journey was.".....We have Demonic parents. So what? I think it's time for a new beginning where we are bigger than our parents, bigger than our births, bigger than life. For the first time, this road has never looked so dangerous and yet so un-lonely. I don't feel alone. It's a testament to those among us who won't come back." *sniff sniff*What I will tell you, is that it was gripping. I was so invested in this team that I could not, and would not put my kindle down. I will also tell you that their emotions were coming off the page and affecting me as if they were my own. There were parts of this story that had me so emotional I had tears pouring down my cheeks. I will also tell you that I wanted something amazing for Connor & Emma - 2 broken souls slowly finding answers and knitting themselves back together. The whole gang had me rooting for each and every one of them, and I just have a little spot reserved for Diedra. Will they get their happy ending? You will have to read it to find out.Now I must go & stalk Ms Ryals and hound her until the release of Deliverance.Bravo, another book for my Love-Love-Love & 6 Star shelf. This series is not one to be missed....
