Stranger by Zoe Archer
5.0
I just love this whole series. I think that Scoundrel remains my absolute favorite from it but this one gets a bump up for a great ending to the series. One thing I love in this series is the way that Zoe Archer focused on the myths and magic of each region where the books were set. The desert golem and the dragon of Mongolia in Warrior, the Greek Gods and Heroes in Scoundrel, the animal totems of North America in Rebel and finally the Fae and Arthurian legends of the British Isles in Stranger. I'm a big mythology geek so I loved that aspect of these books.
But I loved the romance too. Catullus and Gemma are a great couple. It's great watching these characters who have always been a little apart from everyone else find and fall in love with each other. And as much as I love the heroes from these books I really love the heroines. They don't have any superpowers, they are just smart, capable, strong women who manage to stay that way after becoming involved with the hero without succumbing to foot stomping bitchiness. Can't wait to see what Zoe Archer does next!
