Emerald Gambit
The threat was growing.
Serina promised to care for Rodrick’s sister, Kasey, and that was exactly what she intended to
do. However, a side-quest to free Rodrick from Mr. Green’s clutches became necessary to save
them both. With few resources and limited connections, she must rely on her ZEA agent skills if
any of them hope to survive.
Locked in both mental and physical prisons, Rodrick is forced to do Mr. Green’s bidding. While
he longs to reunite with his sister, he trusts he left her in good hands with Serina. That allows
him to focus and bid his time, waiting for the perfect moment to escape.
Green plans to take over Atlanta.
Using Rodrick as a scapegoat, he will accomplish exactly that.
The only way to save the city and Rodrick’s soul is for him and Serina to join forces. Sparks fly
between the pair, with their pulse pounding adventures drawing them together. Can they save
all those counting on them? Or will their chance at happiness be stolen along with Rodrick’s
soul?

What an ending to the trilogy! Seeing Rodrick and Serina have their big moment was awesome, Cherron totally nailed the chemistry and crackling sexual tension between these two characters. I really thought we were not going to have that HEA moment and just have Serina throw the book of law at him but in the end we got the ending they deserved. I loved how Kasey finally stood up to Rodrick about being a grown woman and that he was smothering her and still seeing her as a child, did I see some sparks there at the end with one of the near and dear to Rodrick?
I am truly a Villain lover at heart and demand that we get a book about Carmen! He was hot and definitely gave off Daddy energy! I can’t wait to read more books from Cherron. If you love paranormal romance, medium spice, and sexual tension then go read her Accidental Zodiacs series!

Emerald Gambit is a strong, engaging entry in the Accidental Zodiacs series. It succeeds at combining romantic tension, moral complexity, and action in a way that keeps you rooting for the protagonists. Serina is likable and capable, Rodrick’s predicament is sympathetic, and the danger posed by Mr. Green feels
It may not be completely groundbreaking (some familiar beats), but it delivers on what it promises: a fun, emotionally charged fantasy with both action and heart.
