I ended up liking Leah Tallent even more in Sapphire Storm. This library curator is a wealth of knowledge, and her ability to link things is uncanny. Of course her love of all things coffee makes her my new bestie. Gareth is strong, and trying to keep both woman safe, tempering his jealousy and finding Emmanuel is quite the challenge. He is a charmer, and I enjoy how he and Leah complement each other. New and secondary characters along with villains help propel the plot and offer key clues keeping the tempo fast paced.
If you are a fan of quests, conspiracy theories, Greek mythology, Shakespeare, and the royal court Sapphire Storm will quickly draw you in. Lignor skillfully weaves famous historical figures, Christianity, and secret societies into this fast-paced quest keeping you riveted. She lends enough historically arcuate facts to make the story feel authentic. I love how well researched Lignor’s books are, and found myself using Google to find characters, places and events. She has this gift for making the reader inquisitive! There are twists, turns and danger at every corner, with just enough humor and romantic moments in between to give the reader a chance to catch their breath. We see character growth and get to know the characters more added another layer to them. New characters and the quest made this an exciting addition to the series. The ending has a cliffhanger, but sets us up perfectly for the next book.
