Goodreads description--The #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Vampire Academy and Bloodline series returns with the second installment in her acclaimed Age of X series.Gameboard of the Gods introduced religious investigator Justin March and Mae Koskinen, the beautiful supersoldier assigned to protect him. Together they have been charged with investigating reports of the supernatural and the return of the gods, both inside the Republic of United North America and out. With this highly classified knowledge comes a shocking revelation: Not only are the gods vying for human control, but the elect—special humans marked by the divine—are turning against one another in bloody fashion.
Their mission takes a new twist when they are assigned to a diplomatic delegation headed by Lucian Darling, Justin’s old friend and rival, going into Arcadia, the RUNA’s dangerous neighboring country. Here, in a society where women are commodities and religion is intertwined with government, Justin discovers powerful forces at work, even as he struggles to come to terms with his own reluctantly acquired deity.
Meanwhile, Mae—grudgingly posing as Justin’s concubine—has a secret mission of her own: finding the illegitimate niece her family smuggled away years ago. But with Justin and Mae resisting the resurgence of the gods in Arcadia, a reporter’s connection with someone close to Justin back home threatens to expose their mission—and with it the divine forces the government is determined to keep secret.

ReplyDeleteMy Wow @ So Bookalicious
I still have the Bloodlines series on my TBR list. This series looks good too. Thanks for sharing and stopping by my blog :)
ReplyDeleteThis series jas been on my shelf for a long time but I haven't been able to start it. Great Pick this week
ReplyDeleteRichelle Mead is such a machine! She has a book out every ten seconds haha. I've only tried her VA series but this one looks cool too!
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of this series. Wow, I'm out of the loop :(
ReplyDeleteI was a fan of VA until the last book, and I'm absolutely in love with the Bloodlines series as you can probably see here (:
I haven't read a single book by this author. Dunno why. I hope you like this one! Thanks for stopping!
ReplyDeleteThis series is new to me! In fact, I actually haven't read anything by that author before lol. I know, I know - I keep getting hassled to read the Vampire Academy series.
ReplyDeleteGlad Richelle is constantly writing great series though! I'll have to add her stuff to my TBR, as her books always seem to have such a huge fan base.
I have to say that I didn't LOVE the first book, but I have faith in her writing enough to keep up with the series and see where it goes. She's one of my favorite authors. Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteI didn't love the first book in this series, but I have faith in Richelle Mead's writing enough to finish the series and see where it goes. She's one of my favorite authors. Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteOh awesome! I love when that happens! Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteI honestly didn't love the first book, but Richelle Mead is one of my favorite authors. And I've read enough of her writing to keep up with the series and see where it goes. Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteOh Bloodlines is really good and getting even better with each release. I definitely like the VA and Bloodlines world better than the Age of X world so far. Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteHopefully you'll be able to get to it eventually. Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteYeah she is! She published about every 9 months in each series and she usually has at least two series going at once. She's awesome. I highly recommend the Bloodlines series if you enjoyed VA. Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteIt's only the 2nd one in the series Why didn't you like the last VA book? Just curious! Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteOh she's one of my favorite authors for sure. Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteRichelle Mead is one of my favorite authors for sure. And Vampire Academy is probably my single favorite series. :) Love her work. I hope you get to check some of her stuff out soon. Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteYeah, but I still did not know about the first book.
ReplyDeleteBut about Last Sacrifice...
I'm a huge fan of Adrian and I really can't help my bias. The ending shocked and disappointed me because of how poorly Richelle Mead dealt with him. I was pretty insulted. He may not be a major character, but he's still up there. But other than that, it was pretty good. Still had everything I loved about the VA series, just mistreated my favorite character :(
Yes, I always liked Adrian, but I was a Dimirti fan from the beginning. I hate cheating so I wasn't a fan of how all of that went down, but I think Adrian's come out on the other side stronger because of what he went through with Rose. Makes his relationship with Sydney mean more I think. But yeah, I can see where you're coming from.
ReplyDeleteIt was because of Blood Promise and the cheating in Last Sacrifice that I really don't like Dimitri. But yes, I love his relationship with Sydney for that reason. I'm so glad he ended up with someone because he really is a great guy.
ReplyDeleteCrossing my fingers for the Bloodlines series.
Yes! She's one of my favorite authors!
ReplyDeleteI completely agree!
ReplyDeleteI still need to read this series. But so many iffy reviews on it, Hopefully I will get to it soon!
