As war with the Gods loom ever closer, Cassie Palmer, the
Pythia and most powerful magical user needs to find her
courage and determination to keep everyone she holds dear
safe. However, before she can fight the Gods she needs to
save Pritkin from a curse, and to do that she must travel to
medieval Wales and King Arthur's court. Here she will meet
an unexpected enemy and find her true powers, while also
finding her true love.
RIDE THE STORM is the eighth book in Karen Chance's Cassie
Palmer series. This latest installment has vampires, dark
mages, King Arthur, and the God of War, Ares. Needless to
say there is a lot of excitement, battles, and loose plot
lines being tied up. Cassie, as usual, is a feisty heroine,
who never gives up and does things her own way. Her
insecurities and vulnerabilities help to create a
well-rounded and believable character, and readers will be
satisfied with her character's growth. Pritkin may still be
a part of King Arthur's court for the majority of RIDE THE
STORM, but he is still the Pritkin readers have fallen in
love with throughout the series. Sassy, stubborn, and sexy
he makes for a great character, and he and Cassie finally
start to figure out their relationship. The other man, or
rather the vampire, in Cassie's life, Mercia, is a little
less self-controlled in this book, and as his secrets are
finally revealed readers will be wondering if Cassie will
decide to continue her relationship with him.
The secondary characters, such as Marco, have always been
wonderful, and I like that Chance brought Jules, now back to
being a human, into the story, and I enjoyed finding out how
he now fits into the vampire world. My favorite character
from the first book onward, has always been cowboy ghost,
Billy Joe, and he is still the comedic and best sidekick
Cassie could have. RIDE THE STORM is a bit long, and at
times can be rather frustrating as it takes Cassie the whole
book to free Pritkin, and this has been an ongoing plot line
from a few books back. The climatic fight with Ares, while
well-written was a bit confusing as it takes place in a
world readers won't expect it to. Overall, RIDE THE STORM is
another fast-paced, action packed adventure for Cassie and
her friends, and fans will find both surprises and thrills
in this paranormal story.
Cassie Palmer can see the future, talk to ghosts, and
travel through time—but nothing’s prepared her for this.
Ever since being stuck with the job of pythia, the chief
seer of the supernatural world, Cassie Palmer has been
playing catch up. Catch up to the lifetime's worth of
training she missed being raised by a psychotic vampire
instead of at the fabled pythian court. Catch up to the
powerful, and sometimes seductive, forces trying to mold her
to their will. It's been a trial by fire that has left her
more than a little burned.
But now she realizes that all that was the just the warm up
for the real race. Ancient forces that once terrorized the
world are trying to return, and Cassie is the only one who
can stop them...
A great series which I have been missing. I have a lot of catching up to do, since I must have missed the date it came out. Here to hoping I win a copy as I can't afford to get the first couple of books. (Wilma Salas 7:07am August 7, 2017)
