WELCOMEWEDNESDAY

  Good morning my lovelies I hope you are all staying cool in this heat wave we are having . Today I have book 5 in the Guardians of Hades series .  CALISTOS  by Felicity Heaton .


                            BOOK BLURB 

 Prince of the Underworld and Lord of Air, Calistos was banished from his home by his father, Hades, two centuries ago and given a new duty and purpose—to keep our world and his from colliding in a calamity foreseen by the Moirai. Together with his six brothers, he fights to defend the gates to the Underworld from daemons bent on breaching them and gaining entrance to that forbidden land, striving to protect his home from their dark influence.

Tormented by the death of his twin sister, Calistos wants nothing more than to find a way to save her soul, but the pain of continuing without her, the constant feeling that he got her killed, is slowly pulling him down into the darkness and he knows it’s only a matter of time before he succumbs to the call of the abyss.

Until a battle sets him on a collision course with a kind-hearted and beautiful mortal, one who rouses softer emotions he had sworn he would never risk feeling again, threatening to peel away his mask of playfulness and shatter the barriers around his heart.

Marinda is a woman on a mission—to become a great cellist and repay her father for his faith in her. But her regimented and studious life is thrown into chaos when a handsome man is carted into the ER where she works and takes her hostage, pulling her into a dark and dangerous world… one where she discovers there’s more to her than meets the eye and her entire life has been a lie.

When the enemy makes a play for Marinda and the gates, will Calistos find the strength to let someone into his heart again and look to the future, or will the pain of his past lead him to unleash hell on this world?

                        MY REVIEW 
  When a mysterious man is brought into the ER Marinda's life is changed forever . She is taken hostage by the man and her world is turned upside down . Calistos is a man tormented by the loss of his twin sister. His heart is smitten with the young woman that he kidnaps . She brings out the softer side of him and together they find that there is more to Marinda then meets the eyes . Will they be able to keep the gates to hell closed and will Calistos come to realize that he can love again and keep Marinda safe .

  I can say that Calistos is my favourite character out of all of them . He is a man that is tormented and yet he seems to be one of the more fun.  The guys think he is the weakest link in their armour but as usual he proves them wrong . Marinda is a sweet hospital receptionist but there is a silent strength about here Together they are an amazing couple and give each other what they need . 

  This is the fifth book in the series and I will say that Calistos is my favourite character . The author takes us on an adventure. The characters are well written and complex . The story is a fun filled ride .  I truly liked this story but it just seemed a little slow in a few spots . Over all this is a great addition to the brotherhood . Check it out .
