Review - Echoes of Destiny by Ken Sanchez

My rating:

Eons ago, the old gods fought a war over the human realm. Hades and Apollo were at the forefront of the fighting, as well as lovers. Apollo sacrifices himself to end the war and free Zeus. Grieving over the loss, Hades steps aside as ruler of the underworld and takes up residence in the human realm, where he becomes Alex and forms the Shadowguard, a team of magical beings charged with safeguarding the human world.

Review - Tripwrecked by A. Poland

My rating:

Aiden feels trapped in a life that doesn't belong to him. He hates his job, and nothing he does makes his mother happy, yet she expects him to be at her beck and call. When Aiden walks in on his long-term boyfriend in bed with someone else, he decides to take a break from it all. The small seaside town on Australia's Sunshine Coast is about as far away from Dublin as Aiden could get.
