goodreads...
Camille and Drake are on the run from the head of
the Centaur Council, seeking the mythical pasture of Thessaly and a family
heirloom that may keep them safe. As their journey progresses from the rolling
hills of Ireland to the snow covered forests of South Dakota, Cami learns more
about her mother’s secrets, including a twin brother and a Centaur legacy that
puts a death warrant on her entire family.
Camille and Drake don't know who to trust or
where to hide. Camille’s family is quick to come to her aid, but who among them
can be trusted?
A supernatural benefactor forces Drake to choose
between being the man he wants to be and the Centaur warrior Camille needs him
to be.
My take...
On the run in search of something that up until
now has only been heard of in the Greek myths told to them as children, Cami
and Drake must make their way to Ireland in search of Hercules' arrow. An arrow
and her Great Uncle. Hoping both will give her the protection from her
grandmother she so desperately needs. What they discover on this journey is
beyond anything Cami thought possible. Greek mythology is coming to life before
her very eyes and it may be the only thing able to keep them both alive in the
end.
Amazing. This story was simply amazing. If I had
to compare this book to another one out there, it would most likely be THE
LIGHTNING THIEF. I have yet to read the book but I did see the movie. And this
book is like a New Adult version of that. Everything about it came to life when
the history of the Centaurs was told. The story captured my attention from the
very first book and has yet to release me. Quite sure I don't want it to
either. These books are fascinating and I am completely happy to pitch a tent
and relax within its words.
If I thought I couldn't love Drake any more than
I already did, well, this one proved me wrong on so many levels. Straight was
able to write a character that affected me so strongly. My feelings were amped
up for him. Especially in the scenes where he was so deeply hurting for Cami
and wondering if she would reject him. Ok. That is all I am saying about that.
Don't want to step on toes and give stuff away. But if any of you had doubts
about his love for Cami...I am here to squash those thoughts. He loves her.
That is final.
I am now moving on to book 3, CENTAUR RIVALRY. I
have to know what is going to happen as they make their way on this incredible
journey. Hell. Is. About. To. Break. Loose. Mark my words.
Mandy, thanks so much for reading and reviewing Centaur Legacy!! I'm thrilled you liked it!
