I want to start by saying that I am in love with Kenyon's writing, and that more than half of these books are rereads for me. These novels are in chronological order and while each book is its own story and can be read separately, it adds so much to the books reading them in sequence.

Review
I am reviewing the collection as one book.

The world is one of the best I have ever read, right up there with the Stephen King Universe with the complex interwoven multifaceted plots and characters. While the novels have great depth and many layers, they are first and foremost romance novels. I am reviewing them as such; meaning that I am aware they all fallow: the man (scared past, tough, unloving, distant, strong, handsome) falls in love with the woman (also has baggage,beautiful but doesn't know it) and dispite the 1001 reason why they cant be together, they end up together relatively happily ever after.

Yes the general layout is repetitive and predictable but that is romance novel 101. Each on of these stories is also very unique. To anyone who has read and enjoyed the Percy Jackson novels (once your old enough) grab up these. Focusing on ancient Greece and Rome, and slowly as the series progresses spreading out the other ancient civilizations. Kenyon incorporates the everyday realities in with the impossibly fantastical world of gods and monsters flawlessly.

Warning! These books also step over a few boundary lines into areas such as torture, sex slaves, rape. Some fairly heavy topics that are more erotica than romance.

Wrap Up - January to April 2016

Sorry that my 2016 has been sadly lacking thus far. Despite not having a chance to update my blog I have done quite a bit of reading in the past four months. I got through 45 novels which includes; rereading 3 old favorites, completing the Lunar Chronicles, reading The Strain Trilogy start to finish, reading an 8 book box set, reading 18 books out of the 50+ novels in the Dark-Hunterverse and starting the Odd Thomas Series.

My top 4 are:

The complete list of books I read is down below.
*I have done complete reviews for many of the books but will not be doing reviews for all of them
