Golem

by J.D. Oliva

A family cursed with a supernatural gift. A demigod suddenly murdered. An undying evil waiting to strike again.Jennifer Greywolf has barely scratched the surface of her new weapon’s formidable powers. But when a bullet fashioned from another potent talisman is used to assassinate the world’s first superhero, she refuses to believe her friend is truly gone. Hoping her heirloom can bring him back, she embarks on a hunt for his killer… and uncovers a deadly secret that could lead to her doom.

Tracking the late hero’s mysterious origins, Jennifer lands in the crosshairs of a clandestine sect of assassins. And as she dodges the attempts on her life, she’s plunged into a battle with the same malicious mastermind her grandfather, John Greywolf faced eight decades ago. Except he’s now an almighty robot-powered fiend, and only she has the power to stop his lethal onslaught.

Is Jennifer’s destiny a path to victory, or is it a legacy of death?

GOLEM is the thrilling second book in the Wolf Stone Saga series. If you like intense twists, cunning villains, and tales told across time, then you’ll love this action-packed story.

Having enjoyed reading Immortal, book one of this series, I was excited to read Golem, the follow up. I had great hopes for ‘more of the same’ in terms of superheroes, supernatural storylines, fun interesting characters and, probably most importantly, learning more about the world JD Oliva has set everything in. Golem gave me all of that and more and is a fine follow up to the first book. We continue to follow Jennifer as she learns more about the mysterious powerful talisman as well as more about her long deceased father. We also see more of Apex’s past alongside Jenn's grandfather John. I can’t decide which era, from the modern to the 1940’s, I like best because they all offer something great to the wonderful story. JD Oliva has a great talent when it comes to weaving compelling narratives together and I for one am grateful he’s sharing it with this excellent series. Overall, this is the follow up the brilliant Immortal deserved, it’s addictive reading right from the start and is fast paced and most importantly fun. Great work Mr Oliva, ‘keep ‘em coming!’
