Rogue Soul by Linsey Hall my review

Review Courtesy of April Hollingworth

This is the third book in the wonderfully brilliant The Mythean Arcana series. It is filled with danger and intrigue, unraveling beautifully before your eyes, and revealing it’s secrets of both the past and present in this astoundingly marvelous story of passion, mystery and an ancient jealousy that can destroy the world and the gods themselves. I adore this series so much.

Opening Scene:

The Caipors’s Den

Edge of the Amazon River, Brazil

Present Day

Andrasta, Celtic goddess of victory, swallowed hard, her eyes transfixed on the man in the makeshift boxing ring.

The Review:

Andrasta, Celtic Goddess of Victory wants out of the cold desolate world of Otherworld. A place where the Celtic gods and goddesses live. A place of no joy or laughter. A place she does not belong or wish to be. But to escape she must find Camulos the Celtic God of War. The god she betrayed two thousand years ago, and took his place. Now all she has to do is convince him not to kill her, but help her escape.

Born a god in Otherworld, Camulos went rogue centuries ago and has been living out his life boxing in bare-knuckled fights in the Amazon, and working in the pharmaceutical industry. Life’s good, the gods think he’s dead, until Ana walks back into his life. The one woman who brings him nothing but trouble, the same woman he could never forget.

Fleeing for their lives they find their passion for each other reigniting. Together they must evade the wrath of the gods and a return to the living death of Otherworld. But secrets of the past are haunting them. Secrets that could kill them both and destroy their very souls.

Notable Scene:

“Camulos,” Ana said. She glanced dismissively at the sultry woman now trying to swallow his tongue.

“Cam,” he said absentmindedly as he drew his face away from the woman’s to look at Ana. His brows shot up, his gray eyes widening the barest fraction. A scar sliced through one of the brows.

“Recognize me?” she asked, absorbing the fact that he no longer went by Camulos.

“Andrasta,” he rasped, shock plain on his face.

Did she hear his breath catch?

Hers certainly did. He looked every inch the god he’d once been-strong and powerful, with broad shoulders and big arms that looked like they’d been cut from steel. A man comfortable with the mantle of worship, even if he no longer carried it.

Ana shot a pointed glance at the woman.

“Luciana,” he said, drawing the woman’s mouth away from where it had suctioned onto his neck.

Ana’s eyes zeroed in on the huge hand that cupped the back of Luciana’s neck, then looked back to realize that he’d kept his gaze trained on her own face.

“You need to go,” Camulos said to Luciana.

Luciana pouted at him, then turned to look at Ana.

“A goddess?” her brows shot high. She no doubt noticed the small glow emitting from Ana’s skin and marked her as one from Otherworld. Her lips twisted in a sneer. “I thought you Celtic gods never left your cold realm.”

She’d be right, Ana thought bitterly. Cold and emotionless, that was Otherworld, and she was trapped there except for a few times a year when she could sneak out without the other gods noticing. But that’s what she wanted to change.
