Book Review: "Knight Avenged" by Coreene Callahan

     Cosmina is a young oracle and warrior, reluctantly called into service by the goddess of all things. Yet, as she prepares to perform an ancient ritual, evil forces are already on the move. Henrik and his team of elite assassins are trying to track down Cosmina, not realizing their intruder is a young woman working for good. They soon find themselves defending her against their mutual enemies.

      I loved the well built world in this novel. It was easy to be drawn into it, and to feel a part of the surroundings. Cosmina and Henrik are complex characters, each trying to do the right thing yet feeling alienated from the beliefs they were raised on. They find common ground and a steamy love affair begins. (I wouldn't hand a copy of this to your teenage daughter!) However, it isn't long before they have to get back to reality and fight together for the survival of all they have ever known. Henrik's band of compatriots are especially fascinating, each with their own magical abilities and skills.

       This book is part of the Circle of Seven series by this author. I really enjoyed it and would like to read more from this author.
