The Merkabah Deception
By
L.Z. Marie
I know I am in trouble and have
found a compelling story series when, as soon as I have completed the current
book that I am reading, I am online purchasing the next book in the series. This is the quandary I have found myself in
with the discovery of the Merkabah
Series by L.Z.Marie. The first book in the series, The Merkabah Recruit was a well written
novel in my personal favorite genre (historical-thriller-romantic -woman’s-fiction—kinda,
well a little of all the above). As with
any great first novel in a series, it left me panting and begging for more.
The second novel in the series, The Merkabah Deception utilized The Recruit as a diving platform to
send me deep into the muck and mire of the ancient gods and demons ongoing
battle of the spiritual world. Much to
my consternation and surprise, the battles are not so ancient and they continue
to throw the clueless populace of planet earth into the middle of the fight,
with us mere humans never knowing we are fodder for the battle. With every turn of the page Ms. Marie sweeps
you into new waves of angst and terror as she takes you through the streets and
back country of the mountains and Amazonian Country in South America. Just as you think you are sitting down to a
quiet dinner to crash and recover from the day, you are ripped from your seat
and into another whirlwind of the unknown.
The academia of the heroine
professor (as well as that of L.Z. Marie) is evident all through the book. This
is demonstrated in their minute detail and knowledge of the history of the
area. Ms Marie’s extensive study of the
ancient histories and religions keeps both Daphne’s and the readers’ heads
spinning as they try to stay out of the path of the dangerous Cryptivitas’, Brujos, and Witches that show up to bring down destruction
and mayhem on mankind.
The Nephilim mentor and protector
assigned to Daphne, the heroine, has been declared taboo and off-limits by the
powers that be. In spite this, an undeniable smoldering attraction continues to
brew between the two of them. A warfare
of a different kind and on a different level leaves the Daphne and her Nephilim
hero both breathless, exhausted, and distracted. How will they ever survive it all and get the
work-at-hand taken care of? Will their
smoldering passions ever be allowed to flame and light their world?
A book to read and read
again.
