Fall of a Demigod

I received this book in the mail yesterday. I won it in a firstreads giveaway. This book is really really good! The back of the book says that this is Mr. Martinez' first romance. Great job! You should write more of these. I intended to give the book a quick look to get the idea of what to expect. I wound up reading the book cover to cover (it's short-about 86 pages or so). It grabbed me right away and held me til the end.There was action a plenty, but it is ultimately a love story. I don't usually read "romance novels", don't get me wrong, I like romance as a part of a story. I just prefer it be a part of the larger story, not the main focus. In Fall of a Demigod there is no doubt the love story is the main focus. But the author wove the action in so skillfully that I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I read and reviewed another of Mr. Martinez' books and was pretty harsh on the editing so I was a little nervous about how Fall of a Demigod would read. Well... there were a few problems here and there, but they did not interfere with the story at all. A smooth, fast-paced read. Mr. Martinez has demonstrated what a great storyteller he is. I recommend this book to romance and/or action readers, you won't be disappointed. Mike
