Normally in a series the second book isn't as good as the first. Seal of Solomon isn't one of those books! This story picks up right where we left off! I had so many questions and glad they were answered but now I have more!!! The struggle is so real!! Joey, My heart ached for you in this one baby!! That's all I will say since I don't want to spoil anything. I knew that was going to happen but it still didn't hurt any less. We also got more of Marcus. I'm really liking his character and glad we got more of him in this book. I feel like his a perfect addition to the group.

Gage and Ady! These two had me going through it!!! After the last book I had my heart shattered and cursed the author for making me cry!! This couple have endured so much and I needed to know everything would get better. There was one scene that made me choke up and I was like come on, Gage, you gotta get your girl!!! For those who have read the first book you know what I'm talking about! I don't want to spoil anything but I can say, I won't be able to look at pancake batter again without blushing.

As usual the last few chapters SUCKED me in and had me at the edge of my seat!! Like how does Czermak do this every time I read his books! Let's talk about that ending!! Why must you torment me??? What did I do to deserve such treatment?!! I can't wait for the next book because the Journeymen will have their hands full with Dajjal!! I'm intrigued by this character and it seems like I have a thing for bad boys plus demons!

Czermak's story telling and writing in this book outstanding. Everything just came together in this book and I enjoyed the ride! I LOVED his attention to detail and how I can envision myself in the story. I felt like I was in the book fighting the good fight!! That's one of my favorite things about this series I can see the plot and action unfolding in my head. I'm so delighted that my love for paranormal has been rejuvenated by this series! Czermak's writing and storytelling has only gotten better and I can't wait for Made To Suffer!

I was given this book and promised a honest review.

The first book Homeward Bound was a work of art, a journey well taken for the characters were great. So my thoughts drifted to the second book as I looked at it and wondered, will the second live up to the reputation.
No need to worry, Seal of Solomon took me out of this world into a world I never could imagine, all of the characters be they good or evil took me and held on to me until I finished the book. The twists and plots in the story were, well some of them left me speechless, while others made me laugh and others made me cry.
Golden you have taken this story out of this world, you spun a web so tight that I honestly could not stop reading, so now I have a lovely book hangover, but worth every minute every second. I look forward to the next adventures of Gage, Joey, Marcus and Adrienne and the rest of the Journeyman.
Thank you Golden.

Crispy Biscuits! What a ride! Golden Czermak weaves a wonderful heart wrenching adventure, following straight on from Homeward Bound (Book 1, Journeyman Series) grabbing your attention from Chapter 1 and not releasing it till the very end, only then do you find you can breathe again.

When Seal of Solomon arrived on my Kindle I must admit I was scared to open it, would it answer my questions from Homeward Bound (Book 1, Journeyman Series)? I had butterflies in my tummy the whole way through. Once I started I really didn’t want to have to stop reading and be an adult, those butterflies I mentioned earlier took hold and stayed the whole way through this book, the depth of emotion and the complex tale that unfolds on the page in front of you is simply mind blowing.

Gage Crosse is a Journeyman not to be trifled with, along with his BFF Joey Mosely we follow them in their quest for artifacts that the Noctis desperately want. Hold on to your panties because it is going to be a wild ride.

I wish I could give this book more than 5 stars as it worth more. I highly recommend Seal of Solomon (Book 2, Journeyman Series), if you haven’t started this PNR adventure than go and get Homeward Bound (Book 1, Journeyman Series) and start it today. Golden I can not wait for the Journeyman Series to continue.

Received a copy. If you started the Journey in Homeward Bound and thought you were on a wild adventure then hold on to your seats because Seal of Solomon is going to take you further. The creativity that is brought to these pages are more than just words. Golden Czermak continues to bring more of the characters to life and teases with some new characters which makes one wonder what is going to happen because you just know that there is a story to be told. There are so many emotions that are brought to the table with Seal of Solomon and the story telling makes you want to be a member of the Journeyman team. The descriptive words are more like visual effects. In my mind while reading I could see each detail as it unfolded. Golden Czermak gave me a moment of being speechless and let me escape for a while. Grab hold, get taken away and enjoy the wild adventure.

This book that will have you hooked from page one. The characters jump off the pages and suck you into their world. Gage and the journeymen will pull you in so deep you can't get enough. Seal of Solomon is beyond EPIC. A rating of 5 stars doesn't do it justice. Golden Czermak has another amazing best seller on his hands. Set your calendars for August 29th you're not gonna want to miss this journey. If you haven't read Homeward Bound yet. I highly recommend you get it now.

5 Seal of Solomon Stars

I was going to wait for book 3 to be out on audio to start this but …. I COULDN'T WAIT… So glad I didn't WOW it was everything I hoped for and so, so much more.

Seal of Solomon continues where Homeward Bound ended so you feel like you just had a pause between books which I love in a series.

I can’t put in to words exactly what I am feeling. Even taking notes…I didn't see somethings coming that’s for sure but in good ways. Gage didn't seem like himself in the beginning and that’s to be expected with losing Ady the way he did. Then the attack.
Losing Ady really brought Gage and Joey closer together. I did feel like Joey doesn't really know what he wants or he thinks he does.. Hmm I don’t know if I made that make sense.

Learning more of Marcus, Nathaniel and Ralph was interesting too and how they all have the roles. I kind of see something with Marcus and Joey but you never really know Joey seem very vulnerable and I think Marcus see something in Joey maybe Joey doesn't see himself. I guess we will just have to see how it will play out. Gage seems a little confused or unsure maybe is the better word of who and what he wants. The loss of Ady really plays heavily with his emotions.

Noctis the demon doesn't take any punches as the gang soon finds out. This world is about to get tipped on to its head.
Also… pancake batter.. Yeah :)

The narration for this book is freaking amazing. Wen does a wonderful job with the voices of some of the characters. And there are a lot of characters but you never feel confused as to who is speaking. He really brought them their own voices and I couldn't be more impressed than I am.

*You don't have to like my review but its 100% my opinion, and I am allowed to have it.*

I am absolutely in AWE of Golden's imagination, his writing how he made me feel I was in the story watching every event happen. When I began reading Book #2 of The Journeyman Series. I was instantly hooked from the very first page. After the first chapter it was official I already had a book hangover.

This story is spectacular from beginning to end!! The adventures near death experiences have you on the edge of your seat. The bond between Gage, Joey and these new characters are extremely intriguing. Lets just say we get some insight into the roles of Nathaniel, Ralph and Marcus and what role they will play in helping or trying to help rid the world of the demons known as the Noctis.

I highly recommend this book and this series. I would give it more than 5 stars if possible.

The Saga Continues….
After finishing Homeward Bound (book 1) I never thought the 2nd one would pull me in as deep. However I was wrong. Seal of Solomon is even more compelling to read. If you are looking for a new adventure you have to give this new world a try. Golden Czermak’s brand brings all emotions to the front and doesn’t let go, even after you have finished the book.
This 2nd installment has more character development, twists and turns in the plot, and takes your heart on a roller coaster ride. To say I didn’t want it to end would be an understatement. You will not be disappointed once you step into the Journeymen’s story. If fact, you will be sitting here with me, waiting on the next book.

Once you start reading Seal of Solomon, you're sucked right in like a vortex. Golden's words just flowed and made you feel that you were right next to Gage, Joey and the other Journeymen. He's just pure genius and such a creative way of describing the scene and the characters.

Noctis doesn't play by the rules. Gage found this out in the beginning of SoS. We were on our toes to see how Gage came out on top. With him wearing the Devil's Ire around his neck, the demons want it so they can take over the world. But Gage will not allow that to happen. He will fight. But besides fighting demons, his heart is breaking with the loss of Ady. He becomes even closer as a family with Joey. We see a different side of Joey in SoS. I fell in love with him even more after Homeward Bound.

I don't know how Golden will top this but I know he will in Made to Suffer. He is so creative and I will be sitting on the edge of my seat. I wish I could give more than 5 stars. Loved, loved, loved Seal of Solomon. A must read for sure

I started Seal of Solomon believing that it couldn't top the first in the series, Homeward Bound. I was wrong. So, so wrong.

I was hooked from the first page and couldn't put it down. It's jammed packed with emotion and action. So much action. I was literally on the edge of my seat the whole book through. Golden weaves a story so complex, so interesting, so heart wrenching, that you dare not look away from the page. I got nothing else done today as I read, and it was worth it.

I would absolutely recommend this book to anyone and I wish I could give it more than 5 stars! I have no words to describe how great it is, or how much you're absolutely missing out on if you don't read it. The wait for the third book in the series already feels like forever!

Another action packed adventure with the amazing Gage Crosse. This book literally continues on from the last so make sure you remember what is going on, or have a little refresh before you start!

We meet our hero sad and alone, bloody, beaten and waiting for it to get worse before it gets better. There is no time to mourn or grieve before he is thrown into the deep end once again. Unfortunately, Gage has just stuck a proverbial target on his back and can't just stop. He has to plow through and make it back to their safe haven where Joey will be waiting for him.

We meet a whole host of new characters in this book but still manage to keep the dynamic between the central group in tact which is great. We see a little of Marcus in Homeward Bound and how things are 'working' within the council, but that comes to the fore this time.

I really enjoyed seeing how things work in the council, the market style meeting places, lectures and gathering of people. It is great to get an idea of who is in charge of the Journeymen and meet a few others along the way. Up to this point we have only met Joey, Ady and Gage so to see a few other field agents really helps to put in perspective the difference between Gage and the rest of the world, he really is MAN +1.

Joey is a bit soppy in the first book, he wants Gage but he can't have him, in this book we see his stronger side come out. Gage and Joey are both going through a difficult time after losing Ady and we see Joey not only pull himself back into the world but also drag Gage back in too. There is amazing comradery between the boys, which means that not only do they know how to put each other back together, but they also know how to tear each other apart!

Obviously Gage is our main character, and he's awesome! He is cheeky, charming and has a whole new take on how to eat breakfast but ... I have a secret crush for Marcus! I am definitely looking forward to seeing more of him in the following books :)

As well as being completely action packed there is an emotional side to this book that comes through strongly. The connection between the main characters comes through really well and is a testament to the storytelling of the author. We have entered into an entirely new world and yet the characters are so relate able that you don't even notice, certainly some impressive writing!

Now we are stuck, sat on our hands waiting for the next installment, I have absolutely no doubt that it will be worth the wait! Another fantastic read from Golden Czermak, can't wait for the next one!

You always worry about the next book in a series, Can it be as good as the first? Absolutely!!! This one is just as awesome as the first. All the action, all the imagery, all the emotion was still there!
That OMG ending from book one was resolved but not before adding a very interesting element to the situation. Loved it!!! In Homeward Bound Gage was an all consuming powerful man that you couldn't help but love but after this book... My heart might belong to another, Joey came out from behind the scenes and stole it!!
The descriptions of the beasts and the battles just lept off the page and I could see them clearly. These books scream to be made into a movie!!
I am blown away by the writing it is rivoting, captivating, I read slowly taking in every word. Again we are hit with an ending that leaves us wanting more. My thoughts as I read the end 'Oh sh#t!! This is going be GOOD!! or maybe BAD???' Cannot wait for the next one. Bring on the EVIL!!!!

This is going to be unlike any review I've ever left, I hope you enjoy.

Golden: what’s your kindle email
Me: Gives email and states. I didn’t pick that email it did it for me. I’m not really a pervert.
wink
He laughs at me.. laughs... that's because he knows me.
So I get that little notification on my kindle and I go and check it out and Seal Of Solomon was gracing the screen. After a little squee... I had to give props to the man.
Sardo Numspa show him how much we appreciate him.
clap
I wasn't prepared when I jumped into this story, I had kept a tight grip on my thoughts on this story because honestly I was going to come off super creepy.
creepy
And trust me, we've see that enough of that ^^^ to last a lifetime.
I'm going to try my hardest not to spoil book 1 for anyone and I apologize if there is a spoiler or I allude to something it is completely unintentional but necessary to explain this.
Most people will tell you that sequels are never as strong as the first. That they have big shoes to fill and can never measure up. I can say without a doubt that Seal of Solomon exceeds all of those expectations and manages to top Homeward Bound. I've only seen a handful of multi-series books do this and pull it off properly.
This ranks up there with those iconic novels.
I'm a huge action movie fan, my favorite movie is Die Hard. As I was reading this story I could imagine it as a movie. Page after page I'm hypnotized by the words and when you get to the climax.
motherfucker
I needed this, I needed to be kept on my toes, to be kept on the edge of my seat and this didn't fail. I kind of got a little bit of a feeling through teasers and what Golden has shared but I wasn't full on prepared but when it happened... It was just love.
pleases me
The feels, the emotions, I'm fanning myself again and stuck on how intense all of this is. Then I remember, I speak to him every day. Am I going to be able to hold it together?
He's lucky I won't be seeing him for a while or he'd have me tagging along behind him trying hard to pick his brain and beg for more.
This is how good this story is, with most books that leave you not with a cliffhanger but with the knowledge that there's more, much like with a TV series that continues till next week. You know that your now beloved characters will go on. You feel content and satisfied with how the ending left you, you're not filled with that WTF why did he do that, feeling..

Golden isn't cruel, he's become a literary genius. He knows and caters to the reader much like he does with his photos. He loves to make sure that the reader goes head first and gets to know these characters on a much personal level. He's accomplished more in this time he's been an author, than some seasoned writers have.

This is how a book should be.
This is how you should feel after you read it.
sigh

So try and keep calm and well.. the Kingdom of Hell awaits. Dajjal's coming.
fire

Made To Suffer...coming soon.

Five Flaming Hot Fireballs and a welcome to Dajjal..

Golden pens out another 5 star, edge of your seat story, but it is more than just a story, it's a world that you can almost believe you are living. His words and attention to detail go above and beyond the normal story telling. This book takes off right where we left off in book one, and immediately spins you into action and never lets go.

For the Journeymen, the fight of their lives is coming and you can't help but gasp at the never ending battles of love, friendship, traitors and family. This is not your every day PNR story.

Golden's main character, Gage Crosse is a book boyfriend dream and I know I will never be able to eat pancakes again without thinking of him.

If you are a lover of PNR, start reading this series, if you've never read a PNR, you won't be sorry!

I will say this, that Golden Czermak sure has found his niche in writing. This book is far better than his first book not that I am saying that his first was bad, I just couldn't get into until the end. I needed to find out what happen to Adrienne. He sure has my recommendation for new author of the year.

I am loving this series! I was so excited to start book 2 especially they way things ended. We're brought back with Gage and his memories of what happened with Ady, I was absolutely hanging on to every word as the events unfolded. Moving forward Gage and Joey head out to meet with fellow journeymen and try to get more answers. My heart is with both of these men but especially Joey, I adore him and what takes place will have your heart pounding and blood pressure rising instantly. So much happens but it's not rushed, it's a good pace as we're learning more about fellow members that I can see becoming closer with Gage and Joey while they continue on. Once again the last few chapters will leave you with eyes wide and jaw dropped. So much has already happened and yet there's so much more to come. Holy hell I need to get to book 3 right now. This is my unbiased and voluntary review

I honestly have no clue where to start with this review.
I've thought it over for two days and am still trying to figure out how to put what this book made me feel into words.
First off, if you follow me you know I'm not a huge paranormal fan. I'm very picky about my paranormal books and demons from hell generally aren't my thing.
I'll admit I purchased and read Homeward Bound mostly out of curiosity, I wanted to see how the transition from photographer to author would go.
I went into the book knowing there was a good chance I wouldn't like it, an even greater chance that I wouldn't love it, that I would never get into the story at all.

I was wrong.

There I said it (don't tell my husband) I was so wrong. Homeward Bound took a bit to get me wrapped up in the story but once it did I sat and read non stop.

Which brings us to the reason your here, Seal of Solomon.
You know how you fall in love with the first book in a series and move on to the next only to find it doesn't live up to your expectations?
That the first book was so good you just knew the second would rock your world only to be let down?
Not the case here, somehow Seal of Solomon kicked Homeward Bound's ass.

Okay, so maybe there's an itsy bitsy, minuscule part that thinks maybe it's because this series opened my eyes to a genre I tend to ignore and that it took me longer to get into book one than book two but I ignore that tiny voice that needs to disappear. I jumped into book two a day after finishing book one and I was so excited about it, sucked right back into the story and read this book in two days but mostly non stop. The writing engaged me and refused to let me put the book down until I absolutely could not keep my eyes open, when I finally reached the point that I start to think I'm too tired to remember what I'm reading I forced myself to bookmark and power off my kindle.

The story picks up right where book one ended, and let me tell you I was not happy with that ending, but the author quickly redeems himself giving us what I know we all wanted when we were trying to decide if we wanted to cry or yell at him throughout the last chapter of Homeward Bound.
Seal of Solomon really gets to the main course of the meal, here we begin to understand just what the Journeymen are up against, we still have no clue what it will take to bring down the evil that threatens their world but there's a better understanding of just where this series is going and the hell, quite literally, that our hero will face down in order to fulfill his destiny.

I'm so glad I gave this series a chance, it's quite honestly not what I would call my cup of tea prior to reading these books but The Journeyman have changed my mind.
I was immediately drawn into this book. After the ending of the first one there was no way not to be excited going in, the writing sucked me right back in and I sat for hours non stop reading, I didn't want to put it down to face the real world but was forced to, so I read this one in two sittings.
The characters have burrowed their way in and won't get out of my head, I'm spoiled having read two back to back, I'd give just about anything to have book three in my hands right now.

Thank you for changing my opinion on the demonic variety of paranormal, I'd have missed out on a great series had it not been for Homeward Bound and my curiosity.

The journey continues to adventures you have yet to experience, good thing this is only book two of a six part series because this world has indeed exploded to new heights. Seal of Solomon creates new pieces of the Journeyman world that snap into place on an ever growing intricate puzzle of suspense, high caliber action, love and loss, and the limitless possibilities of the paranormal. You will be so engrossed into this story that before you know it, the Epilogue appears and your heart sinks, because you realize you have to wait yet another few months for the continuation of what I think is an epic and memorable story. With each key stroke, Golden had masterfully painted a mind explosion of not just good versus evil, but evil against evil, good being challenged and tested, emotions and metals tested and broken from beginning to end. The scenery alone is molded into literary Technicolor that will wow and amaze you of all the detail that goes into all of it. Quite the word smith Golden is, not sticking to the comforts of basic descriptive words, this guy has pulled out the thesaurus of unique and refreshing words that fit perfectly into this story. Forget book hangover, this has become a book high because THAT is how mind blowing this story is so far!

Book two of any series genera is usually a test to see how more developed the current characters become, how new characters are introduce, and if the overall plot of the story will continue to grow strong or falter and become fluff and filler. With Seal of Solomon you need not worry, every plot point is methodically planned out, every character both main and secondary, are so well developed to the point you actually feel like you are right there with them through every part of the story. You witness the inner emotional struggle Joey goes through with his feelings for Gage, wondering if they are fabricated or true. Whereas Gage knows his feelings but not to the extent of what Joey has, in my opinion, it’s because of his invisible ties of love he still hold onto for Adrienne. Marcus has become one of my favorite characters in this eclectic bunch and was excited to see him be welcomed into the trios fold and I’m not going to lie, I really hope to see more develop between him and Joey. ;)

I’m relieved and excited that book three is well underway because I need to know what all happens once Dejjal really unleashes his unruly wrath on everyone. Looking forward to Keli getting knock down several more pegs because well, she deserves it (sorry not even sorry) and seeing what Gage and the gang will face next in their fight against all the evils coming their way.

The thoughts going through my head as I read Book 1: Homeward Bound - WOW! I've not seen that before. OMG! Is it hot in here? Run, Run, Run! I cannot believe that's how he ended it!!

The thoughts as I read Book 2: Seal of Solomon - Oh Sh$%! OMG! WOW! I really want to visit HQ. Um - excuse me - I need a cold shower now. YES - Get her!!! Breathe Mike - Breathe.

Golden is a masterful storyteller. The tale he tells of Gage Crosse and his gang of Jounreymen is one that will keep you on the edge of your seat and longing for more. These characters work their way into your heart and soul to the point that you are immersed in their laughter, love, passion and struggle. And when Golden turns up the steam - you will need a towel and a glass of water to cool down. Plus, you will never look at pancakes the same way again!

The world Golden creates weave beautiful imagery with creatures and symbolism that are familiar to us from all walks of the supernatural genre. His style is immersive and is such that you loose time as read the words on the page. Many times the only thing that prevented me from reading more was the fact I couldn't keep my eyes open to read. I really feel that Golden's tales can stand along side my two favorite authors, Clive Barker and Anne Rice.

Now that I have finished Book 2 - I can't wait for Book 3: Made to Suffer - because that's what I will be doing until publication - suffering to know what happens next!

What a fantastic and exciting ride. It is so hard to believe that this is only Golden Czermak’s second book. Seal of Solomon is the second book in the Journeymen series and picks up right where the first book left off and will keep you on the edge of your seat the entire time.

Now, I’m not going to say too much about this book because I don’t want to spoil it for you. What will I say is prepare for one exciting ride. Seal of Solomon is well written and so entertaining. From the characters to the descriptive world building, this story is one that can’t be missed. The story-line is so refreshing and so unique, you can’t help but find yourself getting lost in the world this author has created.

Seal of Solomon is an exciting and fast paced read. It will have your emotions all over the place and leave you breathless for more. This story is action packed and filled with lots of delicious twists and turns. And the ending, will leave you dying to find out what happens next. Golden Czermak is an exciting new author and one to definitely watch out for. I can’t wait to read more from him in the future and see where he will take this series next.

This series just keeps boggling my mind and blowing me away. Again, I am definitely stepping outside my comfort zone with this one but it is a much needed and refreshing change of pace to read something so exciting and different from the norm.

A definitive and exciting journey into a world that I could never have began to imagine, Seal of Solomon treats readers to a thrilling and unworldly expedition that keeps you on the edge of your seat and constantly guessing what will happen next.

Noctis, demons and vampires are just the tip of the iceberg for the perilous and dangerous horrors that the Gage and the Journeymen team have to face. If I am ever in a situation of dire straits Gage Cross is definitely the guy that I want on my side.

Great follow up to an already extraordinary series!

When I need a break from the books I normally read, I always pick up a paranormal book. I picked up Homeward Bound when I was looking for a little something different to read. I wasn't completely hooked on the first one because of that I didn't have high expectations for Seal of Solomon. I did enjoy the characters. I picked it up because I really wanted to see what was in store for Gage, Joey, and Ady. I struggled a little with book one but with this one I was pulled right into the story and didn't want to put it down. This one was amazing. I loved it.

Seal of Solomon picks up where Homeward Bound left off so you need to read that one first. Gage and Joey have a great friendship. They pull each other back to together in tough times. I loved Joey, Ady, Gage, and Marcus. Seal of Solomon has gotten me hooked on this series and I can't wait to read more.

Book #2 in the Journeyman series was as good as #1!! Again I will say this is not my normal genre of books and I didn't always understand the terms and lingo so I googled some ;) Golden Czermak has a way of writing that draws you into that world! The creativity is simply amazing. I was quickly drawn in and finished this book in a day and that is really saying something because I am not a paranormal reader! I must say that the journeyman series has introduced me into a whole new genre and I look forward to reading more in this series! I will definatly recommend this series to all my fellow bookies (especially if they already love paranormal). Well done Mr Czermak, I look forward to the next adventure!

Colorfully detailed and artistically imaginative, Golden Czermak’s Seal of Solomon picks right up after the closing events of Homeward Bound. It’s up to Gage and Joey to convince the council to join in the fight against the demon nation led by Kelli; and to begin the search for the remaining magical items created by Solomon, that are deadly, and depending on the hands that control them, can either aid the Journeymen or destroy the world.

Golden’s series is more than just a paranormal tale, but a conglomeration of friendship, lust, love, and everlasting bonds. This series is becoming one of my favorites because of the vividly descriptive nature of his storytelling. I’ll be following the Journeyman on all of his explorations. 4.5 stars!

I received a copy in return for an honest review. Homeward Bound awed me and Seal of Solomon has left me speechless. This series is an action packed page turner, that would make any reader that was not addicted into a convert. When I say you cannot put it down until the very last page, you literally cannot put it down. Seal of Solomon draws you in from the first to the last page and doesn't let loose, you are left wishing that the next book in the series has been released so that your marathon read becomes an epic one. Puzzle pieces fall into place and the reader is left with a massive WOW. Keep them coming Golden.

Golden Czermak has another winner on his hands with "Seal of Solomon." I enjoyed this book so much! I was waiting for this book to come out after reading his first one. This continues with Gage Crosse a Journeyman searching out ways to stop the evil from the underworld and his world. Along with his buddy Joey Mosely and Marcus Sheridan. Gage Crosse has so much to bear in this book while fighting his demons even the loss of his love Addy. Read this amazing book and find out the adventure that Gage took me on when I read this book...I definitely recommend the whole series!

5 Hell Raising Stars!

So here I am again, completely blown away. I truly expected by the time I got to this book I would get frustrated by the paranormal aspects, as I have in the past with this genre of book. I was fully prepared to start thinking to myself "What are these things now? Are these good or bad? Who the heck are they fighting now? Is this the real world or the demon world?" It never happened! Once again, Mr. Czermak, you have floored me in the best possible way.

As this book opens, we are immediately brought back to Gage, reminded of our unanswered questions and our hearts are again fractured at the events from the end of Homeward Bound. I refuse to give away any major themes in this book because you HAVE to read it for yourself but I will say Golden does not leave you with a multitude of unanswered questions. He is a master at resolving events from the previous book, while starting us on a whole new list of questions to be answered.

Gage is one of the most complex characters I have had the pleasure to read. I thoroughly enjoy seeing the many facets to this man. Joey is just the perfect combination of brains, heart and brawn. I adore him and all his sexy, musclebound nerdiness! The real "introduction" of Marcus is phenomenal and I cannot wait to see more of him in the rest of the series. Adrienne....well you will just have to buy SOS to find out some amazing new details about her because my lips are sealed! And as much as I hate to say it...I am completely enthralled with Dajjal! I never care about a character on the side of evil...how has this happened!?!? (And these are just a few of the characters we meet)

In summary...If you have not started the Journeyman Series you just need to do it now! If you have started, be sure to download Seal of Solomon TODAY! I am so thrilled with my discovery of this amazing Paranormal Romance and hope that all of you give it a chance, even if you do not typically read this genre. I am a self proclaimed "Non fan" of paranormal, my own blog ladies can attest to that, but Golden Czermak's writing is just flawless. His stories are intelligent and thought provoking while being entertaining and sexy. I have discovered a series that is like none other I have read before and am on the edge of my seat waiting for Made to Suffer to arrive! I do have to say, I wish he had written them all FIRST then released one a week as I am going crazy waiting for the next one....but it will be so worth the wait! So hurry up and get caught up before Journeyman Three is out...it will be here before you know it!

I received a copy of this book from the author for an honest review.

This is the second book in the Journeymen Series. If you've not read Honor Bound by Golden you need to read that prior to reading this book.

If you follow me on my social network you know paranormal is my favorite. I will say that I absolutely love where the author is going with this series. This particular volume adds no less than 21 new characters to the mix be it major or minor ones. It's a lot to keep up with and who's got their hands in what, where.

What's difficult for me is in changing chapters I find myself lost at the beginning of some trying to figure out which character is featured and where they're located. Not to mention what their role is or may be in the fight for world domination. It took me until over fifty percent to be able to read smoothly through the chapters after everything was laid out - who, what, when, where, and why. Not always how.

So for this particular installment Gage and Joey head from Texas to NYC to speak to the Journeymen organization about the Notics. There are bad things coming - mega bad. Trying to convince someone the sky is green when they can see it's blue is somewhat a difficult task. No one ever said Cage's journey would be easy.

Now the demons - they don't want anything to be easy. They're almost two steps behind in their thinking. Their current leader is relying on others to get the job done instead of doing it herself. While you watch how evil is conniving and traitorous - it seems all are oblivious. Seems being the key word.

I encourage you to pick up this series and keep up with it. The author has a fascinating mind. I can't wait to see what comes next.

Review: Seal of Solomon
Written by; Golden Solomon
Stars: 2

I received and ARC of Seal of Solomon which is the second book in Golden Czermak's Journeyman series.

I could just not get into this book, I really tried. Received 2 stars since it was written well, just weird story line for me. This book was just way to weird and I couldn't follow along with where Golden was going with this book. It's basically on the same line as Buffy the Vampire Slayer except it has other beings that the main characters Gage and Joey are chasing. Like I said though I just couldn't get into this book. I read the first one and while both are written well, the first book was better and I was just giving this book a read to see what happens...since the first one left me hanging and the second book didn't start off even getting me pulled in. I have no idea what the heck is going on in Seal of Solomon. It's written in first and third person kind of confuses me. Golden does write well the story just isn't my cup of tea. You may like it but i did not. I will not be reading anymore in this series, just because it's not something I like. That's not saying someone else might not like it.

Good luck Mr. Czermak with any future books you publish...this just wasn't for me. Thanks for letting me read for a honest review.
