Destiny - Alex Archer

-


Today's Book is in a way not really a historical novel but it is as it goes on archaelogical expeditions and uncovering things of the past which of course  includes throughout the book chapters about the incidents in the past e.g 500 years ago in the 1700's. Today's Book is also officialy Book #5 in the OutDo Yourself Challenge and is Book #1 in a very long series by author Alex Archer and are books that if you are a fan of Indiana Jones or Sydney Fox you will enjoy "especially if you prefer Sydney Fox over Indiana Jones".

Destiny (Rogue Angel, Book 1)

Review : Destiny - Book #1 : Rogue Angel Series - Alex Archer - July 2006

Meet Annja Creed, she is an archaeologist and a tv presenter on the show "Chasing History's Monsters". She has come to France to find out about "La Bete" - a creature that murdered hundreds over 4 years. However , fate or in this case destiny has another plan for Annja - to find the last piece of the sword of Joan of Arc, one that was smashed to pieces in the late 1700's by the English when she burnt on the stake. However, Annja isn't the only one chasing both birds , so of course she decides to kill two birds with one stone as she soon discovers that they are connected in some way. Of course, this wouldn't be a Rogue Hunter book without a chase as several different parties are after Annja and won't rest until they have her , what she has and what she knows. When Annja meets and old man named Roux, she will begin on a journey to discover the power of Joan of Arc's sword and discover the curse of immortality and what it can cause a person to become. Can Annja , finish the filming of her show , find the missing information that she has been scouring France for , get rid of the bad guys and save the good guys all this and keep her and the artifacts safe at the same time. Rogue Hunter reminds me of Noah Wyle in The Librarian with kick-butt scenes, artifacts, danger and the return of history to it's rightful place. Alex Archer has done an awesome job as the book was entertaining throughout and so quick and easy to read , the 200+ pages whizzed by so quickly.
I am looking forward to reading more of Annja's adventures in th Rogue Hunter Series.

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she
