Tear of the Gods

Thirty-first in the Rogue Angel urban fantasy series revolving around a woman archeologist who inherited the broadsword of Joan of Arc, possibly a reincarnation of the saint herself. My Take It's corruption, greed, and fanaticism that make this story go round. The aim of archeology is to discover the past, learn its stories, appreciate the beauty of what our ancestors created.

The words complete and rubbish spring to mind. Alex Archer is a house name, but one thing all the men behind the Alex Archer identity have in common, is a disinclination to do any research about the places and cultures in which the stories are set. This is of the worst examples

I have this as an audiobook and really enjoyed the story. My brother and I were on the edge of our seats trying to figure out what was going to happen next, how it all connected, and it kept us awake on our long drive. Really enjoyed it, can't wait to pick up another in the series :)

Enjoyed this one. Many twists and turns. As always I enjoyed having the characters Roux and Garin return. Action packed for sure.

lots of action
