Review : Serpent's Storm by Amber Benson

Serpent's Storm by Amber Benson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I  have absolutely loved reading the Calliope Reaper-Jones series. Amber Benson has creatively used aspects from the supernatural, mystical, religious and mythical. Serpent's Storm is the third book of the series, and over the three books, Calliope and her friends, have traveled to hell, purgatory and heaven.
The dynamics between the characters are beautifully written. Calliope's struggle between leading a normal life and her far from conventional family is consistent throughout. Her relationship with her evil sister Thalia is complex, and will she be able to save her and the families supernatural business Death Inc. In each book Calliope has grown from strength to strength and I do hope there will be a fourth book, because I'm sure there's more adventure ahead.
In my opinion.. Death's Daughter, Cat's Claw and Serpent's Storm are definite page turners.

Review : Cat's Claw by Amber Benson

Cat's Claw by Amber Benson .. is the second of three novels in the Calliope Reaper-Jones series.
My rating:  5 of 5 stars

Calliope goes through more dangerous adventures with her friends. She journeys to Purgatory, which takes them to many a frightening place. I enjoyed reading this book as it smoothly follows on from 'Death's Daughter'. There's some sexual content and innuendo, but is in keeping with Calliope's growth as a character.
The story has the ingredients of myths, religions and a time paradox. Which I loved.
To understand Calliope you have to meet her right at the beginning . In my opinion, you cannot read this book without having read the first of the series..
Definitely a page turner!

My first book review: Death's Daughter by Amber Benson

Death's Daughter by Amber Benson .. is the first of three novels in the Calliope Reaper-Jones series.
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a must- read book. Calliope Reaper-Jones goes on an amazing journey as she rediscovers her identity and returns to a life she chose to forget. She is a dynamic and dominant character who never ceased to amaze me. As I turned each page, it was like being next to her, every step of the way. The other characters were beautifully interwoven throughout the story, each drawing out Calliope's true nature.
I was hooked from beginning to the end.
