Synopsis
Twenty-two-year-old Emma
Keane has a secret friend. He’s powerful, mysterious, and devastatingly
handsome. In her dreams, anyway.
In real life, he’s an enigma. Maybe just a teensie jealous. Definitely overbearing. He’s also a voice only she can hear.
So who or what is he? He won’t say. But if she wants to be free, to be normal, Emma will have to trek to the jungles once ruled by the Mayans and find the forgotten ruin holding the answers.
However, the ruthless deity she’s about to unknowingly unleash on the modern world, might not be so easily extracted from her life. Bottom line, he’s got enemies, and now, so does she.

Review
This
a fun read – sort of what MaryJanice Davidson might do with the whole Mayan
pantheon at her disposal.
Emma
has had an invisible friend most of her life.
Well, invisible as in he talks to her in her head, and she wavers
between wanting him to be real and fearing she’s just delusional. When she
grows up she wants him gone. Really. I mean, how normal can a woman be who has
somebody talking in her head? And when she tries to date? Disaster! And he
never answers her questions, not even about his name.
Her
voice informs her that his body is being held captive in Mexico and gives her
very specific directions on where to go and what to do – and totally refuses to
take NO for an answer. So our intrepid heroine treks reluctantly off to Mexico
with severely mixed feelings and hopes that – if he’s really there and isn’t
some kind of alien warthog – that she might finally get some answers.
Of
course complications abound, there are the Maaskab, ugly witch doctor types
with even uglier habits, Emma’s missing grandmother who was apparently handed
over to the Maaskab, good gods, bad gods, unknown allies, battle, torture and
immortality. And then there’s the pesky little fact that sex with the gods
tends to be fatal for the human…
However
the rocky the road to romance does lead to a happily ever after. But be warned,
the last page contains an ‘oh my god’ teaser… Avoid unless you’re prepared to
rush out and buy the next book!
I
really enjoyed this one, the snarky dialogue made me laugh and Emma was a great
character, if ADHD about her feelings and loyalties. You definitely agreed with
Emma when she wanted to smack her ‘voice’ and then his incarnation for being
high-handed and never explaining things – all for her own good, of course.
Guy/Votan stumbled through falling in love but hey, even 70,000 year old gods
aren’t too old to learn new tricks!
