Helpful Score: 1
Orpheus may have joined the elite protectors known as Eternal Guardians, but they've never trusted whose side he's really on. And the half-daemon couldn't care less. Orpheus has only one goal: rescue his brother from the Underworld. He's not expecting a woman to get in the way, especially not one sent by Zeus to seduce, entrap, and then ultimately destroy him. A woman who will dredge up a past he doesn't remember, a love that once condemned him, and a dark and deadly secret as old as the Eternal Guardians themselves.

I have mixed feelings about this one. As much as I was looking forward to Orpheus' story, I just didn't "click" with it. I actually put it down twice to read something else before finally finishing it. It's not a bad story, I just had trouble falling in love with it. Maybe it was because Skyla was not a great character for me. The storyline does move along, and I enjoyed that much of it.
Orpheus goes thru a true Greek tragedy to try and free his brother Gryphon. And I look forward to reading more about Malea, maybe she will get her HEA someday. We have a lot of open ended questions about Gryphon and where Atalantia will show up next......
Even though I didn't love this one, I will still keep reading the series, I think the base storyline about the Argonauts is worth it, besides isn't the cover awesome?!?

I really liked this new installment to series. All about "Orpheus". I read some review somewhere that there was to much sex this time, that author had to use the sex scenes for the book..BAH! I really dont agree with that. There are a couple "pronounced" sex scenes, and a couple other toned down scenes, but I wouldnt say author had to go to the sex scenes to make the book. It had a good story to it, lots of action, and Orpheus just being Orpheus. I really liked it, and do recommend this book to my fellow readers.
I have been reading this series out of order as my library has some and I am waiting for the rest to come in the mail after buying them. I liked the story, it was dark but not oppressive. Two things I would change-the sex scenes, and mentioning the heroine, Skyal's boots so often. The sex scenes just....weren't hot to me. And Skyla's boots are discussed often and I got tired of it.
