Retribution by T.G. Ayer is the first book in The Chronicles of the Irin series and I have to say it’s a great book. I’ve been blessed to have read all of Ayer’s books and they are very good, so I was defintely curious to see if she could deliver me another amazing book and I have to say she didn’t dissapointed me.

The story begins when Evangelina, a Nephilim hunter is stalking her target, a demon named Baltazar and the moment she assasinated him she knows something is off. Since her mentor step down as the head of the organization that she works for, the new master Marcellus is obsessed in everything metal they find on their targets. It appears he is after some seals that involve the world of Hades.

Evangelina knows she has to do everything in her power to stop that from happening and decided to take the trip to the Underworld herself and talk to Hades himself about this.

I love Evangelina, she is a strong fierce woman who is caught between her duty to the organisation she works for and what she thinks is right. When her mentor is gone to her, she knows there is one way to figure out what Marcellus wants and nothing is going to stop for doing it.

This book ended way too soon for me, I wanted to continue so I could see what will happen next. How will Evangelina grow into her new role and what place will Hades have in it? The only thing I can do is to wait and hope Ayer will help me out of my mysery and release the next book in the series soon.

I received this novel for an honest review, courtesy of T.G. Ayer.

I have been a writer from the time I was old enough to recognise that reading was a doorway into my imagination. Poetry was my first foray into the art of the written word. Books were my best friends, my escape, my haven. I am essentially a recluse but this part of my personality is impossible to practise given I have two teenage daughters, who are actually my friends, my tea-makers, my confidantes… I am blessed with a husband who has left me for golf. It’s a fair trade as I have left him for writing. We are both passionate supporters of each other's loves – it works wonderfully…

My heart is currently broken in two. One half resides in South Africa where my old roots still remain, and my heart still longs for the endless beaches and the smell of moist soil after a summer downpour. My love for Ma Afrika will never fade. The other half of me has been transplanted to the Land of the Long White Cloud. The land of the Taniwha, beautiful Maraes, and volcanoes. The land of green, pure beauty that truly inspires. And because I am so torn between these two lands – I shall forever remain cross-eyed.
