The Raiders of Folklore #2
The Emerald Dagger
The hunt for the Eye of Odin continues...
Since discovering a hidden world existed parallel to our own, fifteen-year-old Grayle Rowen learned he’s also a Hexhunter, someone born with the skills to track down and kill witches. Awkward…since his friend, Sarah Finn, is a witch-for-hire.
Now, together with Sarah and her elf Caretaker, Grayle travels to Istanbul to retrieve a third runestone linked to the whereabouts of the Eye of Odin—an artifact of unimaginable power. Their search pits them against Romans, a Crusader hit squad, and a journey through a deadly tomb. But what Grayle and Sarah discover about themselves along the way might be more than what they bargained for, and may ultimately put their friendship to the test.
From Istanbul’s grandest sites to its deepest tunnels, Dennis Staginnus has created a fast and furious thrill ride in this sequel to The Eye of Odin.

I loved this book even more than the first book. Since the main characters were already known, the author jumped right into the adventure! Can't wait to find out what happens next!

I bought this series for my kids this Christmas because Dennis is a teacher and librarian at their school. Since I was between books in all the series I read, I decided to give these a read. Oh my goodness!! I can’t say enough about how awesome they are! It’s like Tomb Raider meets Indiana Jones meets How to Train Your Dragon meets some of Kelley Armstrong’s Books.
There is so much action and adventure with just the right amount of mystery that it is very hard to put down. I often found myself rushing to finish just one more chapter then saying “This book is so good!” every time I had to set my bookmark.
Well done Mr. Staginnus!!! As if the cliffhanger you leave us with in the last chaper isn’t enough, you then added that incredibly creepy yet intriguing epilogue that had me curl my toes and quietly curse you for making me wait to find out more! Fall of 2018 seems like forever to wait for number 3! I can’t wait to read what happens next!

Dennis Staginnus' Raiders of Folklore series just keeps getting better. I enjoyed his first book, The Eye of Odin, but this second installment is even better.
The Emerald Dagger had me hooked right from the first pages and kept me turning the pages to see what's going to happen next. There is never a dull moment. And the story has mythological elements, something which I love.
The main characters, Grayle and Sarah, really start to come into their own in this book as we learn more about them and their motives for getting the Eye of Odin. The stakes just keep getting higher and more personal which makes the reader want them to succeed even more.
This is a great middle grade/early young adult book, especially for readers who like lots of action and adventure.

Wow this second book has so many twists and turns! There are a few mysteries people observing and trying to sabotage Sarah and Grayles quest I'm almost surprised they've managed to last so long. I'm am saddened by Grayles past but it opened more questions than answers. Sarah's character is thrown under suspicion again with the deal that was offered to her and we dont know what she'll choose. I am anxiously awaiting the next book to see where this partnership leads!
