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.

{3.5 stars}

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?!?

Orpheus is 300 years old but his first life was over 3000 years ago, Cynurus, real son of Perseus, hated by Zeus and was sent to the underworld, Skyla was there also, same mission, but she fell in love with him. Now she's sent to suduce, steal and kill him again, history repeating itself with his new life and she was promised he wouldn't remember any of his past lifeâ¦.

Maelea, daughter of Zeus and Persephone, O's aunt. She'll have importance to O and his brother's wellbeing. Also Fact checking, Greek Mythology is a passion of mine, Zeus did not have children with his daughter.

Gryphon is back but he's not good mentally nor will anything O's been trying to do, only G knows what the deal Atalanta made with Kronos and the darkness that's in him that's making hime the way he is, he don't want the rest of the Arogaunts around but brotherhood is for life. How Nick feels to have his castle invaded by them and everyone else, well see how much he can take before he blows, lol.

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.
