The Pantheon gave me a reason to kill. He gave me a reason to live.
JASPER
Once, I was the youngest Director in Pantheon history. I knew exactly who I was and what I was worth. Then I walked away with one secret and I’ve been burning the evidence ever since.
Diego Reyes was supposed to be temporary, just a warm body on a cold night in Brussels. Instead, he’s become the best mistake I’ve ever made. And the riskiest.
Now Achilles — the son Zeus always passed over for me — is coming to take everything Diego and I have built. And I’m about to show the Pantheon exactly what I do when someone threatens what’s mine.
DIEGO
I come from people who bleed for each other. Who bury their dead, feed their enemies at the same table, and hold the line when it costs everything. I know exactly what family is.
Then I met Jasper. Took me about five minutes to decide he was mine.
I’m Romani. I know exactly what men like Jasper have cost my people.
And I could lose everything fighting someone else’s war.
But it’s too late to back out now. The Pantheon wants a war. I’ve got two families, a Russian with a katana, and absolutely nothing left to lose.
Deathless is a dark, high-heat MM romance about chosen family, ancestral loyalty, and what it costs to love someone your blood says is the enemy.
REVIEW:
As with the previous stories, this story continues where the previous on left off, which you absolutely have to read to understand this world. AT this point, Diego and Jasper are laying low with Eight recovering from the crazy rescue mission. Unfortunately, it doesn’t take long for things to catch up sending them on the run once again.
As things unfold, we learn quite a bit more about how Jasper and Eight are connected and why Jasper’s father is now after them. Diego gets his family involved, a mafia-type family that specializes in smuggling. There is a lot to this storyline as well as to why Diego walked away from them and how he now needs them to fight for them. Before they can really convince them to help, danger closes in giving them little choice.
Through all of this, we have Diego and Jasper accepting their relationship and commitment to each other, if they can get through what lies ahead, of course.
Along the way, Lorenzo is back in the picture, not in much better shape than when we left him in the last book. Rafael and also Luka and Vincent are involved here although what we think are rescue missions turn out to be the opposite with different factions at play from different directions. It sound a bit confusing and convoluted, but it is all laid out fairly easy to follow. And, having read the previous books, it is easy to understand what is happening and who all the players are.
Speaking of players, the mysterious Judge Rhadamanthys is once again involved. Although he seemed to be on the side of our guys, as much as he could be, the water gets a bit muddier here at times.
This story contains a lot of violence and action with suspense and mystery added in. Underneath that all, we have the relationships. Even though this one picks up pretty quickly (more so than the previous books that ramped up as the story went along), it also gets more exciting and nail-biting as it plays out. There are still a number of loose ends, although we get to see our guys in this story get to a place where they decide their part in the fight is over and they want to focus on themselves and making a family/home for Eight (Mila). Judge Rhadamanthys and now Nevada have decided to keep up the fight and I’m already excited to read more about them.
