Zachary Godard's life isn't lacking in beautiful women, fast cars, and unlimited wealth. Or in people with reasons to kill him. As the recently inherited owner of the largest oil company in the world and the sole financier of the newly formed United Countries of America, militant political activist groups and regimes bent on world domination alike would benefit from his demise. Then there is his four-minute younger brother, who fell victim to their deceased father's old world mentality that a second son is merely the spare. And finally his mother, Vice President of the United Countries of America, second only to the man who blew the world into its current post-apocalyptic state to give rise to his Blood Mage Order, destroying Zachary's life in the process.
With bullets whizzing by at any given moment as he tries to secretly fund a rebellion against this new supernatural world order, Zachary knows that his magic isn't enough to defend himself and is forced to hire protection. Her name is Lauren Trinidad and she hates everything for which his stands. But he doesn't have time to prove her wrong before he must trust her to help him find out who is trying to kill him. All he can do is hope that either his charm or the fat paycheck will convince her that he's worth saving.
Some books have lots of twists and turns and surprises. There are good guys and bad guys and sometimes we don’t know which is which. Books like this keep us reading. In DYNASTY MAGE, Book Two of K. R. Yaddof’s MAGES SERIES, we again meet Zachery and Jacob Goddard, twin brothers who don’t exactly show brotherly love for one another. In fact, they appear more like enemies. Add a touch of magic, and they can do bodily harm to themselves, as well as to others.
In the first book so many characters were introduced that I had trouble keeping up with who was who. This second book is much easier to keep track of the characters, which makes, for me anyway, a better story.
As a fifth-generation Texan, I support the New Republic of Texas, of course, and the group helping them. No, I’m not giving anything away. I just had to add that to the review.
If you enjoy reading about danger, adventure, and magic, with a touch of romance, then take a look at DYNASTY MAGE. ###
