I love to read. I am very eclectic in my reading but I especially enjoy erotica and erotic romance. I also like movies, live theater and concerts, hockey, and counted cross-stitch.
THE LOST HEIR by E. G. Foley
| Jake is a street kid and thief. He's always in trouble with the Constable. Now more than the Constable is after him. A murderer wants him but why? So does Guardian Stone; again, why? THE LOST HEIR is the beginning of The Gryphon Chronicles. Jake is an orphan but he discovers that his life has been a lie. He finds others who know of his powers which set him apart from his rookery friends. Dani O'Dell has been his conscience during his days in the rookery and she follows him when he leaves the rookery. Can she keep him safe? Can he keep her safe? Will she stay with Jake or will she be sent home? I enjoyed this book. The set-up for this series is good. The time and place are brought to life through the words. The characters are given to us. I wanted Jake to find his past but I did not want him to leave Dani behind. I knew who was good and bad and questionable (mostly.) I love the family that Jake finds when he leaves the rookery. Waldrick, the current Earl of Griffon, is a hiss-worthy villain as is his consort Fionnula. An interesting group of henchmen accompany them including Malwort the Spider (not sure about him.) Jake's companions are an eclectic group. Some outright heroes such as Guardian Derek Stone. Others have gifts and lessons that will aid Jake as he takes his rightful place in the world. Dani will still be his conscience. This series will be a fun read. I cannot wait for their next adventure nor the answer to the cliffhanger (will he or won't he?) |
