The Patmos Deception by Davis Bunn

20665067"An Ancient Island Holds an Ancient Secret . . .
Nick Hennessy, a young Texas journalist yearning for his big break, finds himself in Europe--his assignment, to investigate the alarming disappearance of invaluable Grecian antiquities. Nick has the credentials--and cover ID--to unearth the truth. And he knows just the researcher to help him...
Carey Mathers, fresh from her studies in forensic archaeology, " "has accepted a job with the prestigious Athens Institute for Antiquities--a dream come true, really, particularly when the Greek isle of Patmos, where the Apostle John received his vision of the Apocalypse, was a particular focus of her research.
Dimitri Rubinos, for whom the Greek islands represent his life, holds on by his fingernails to the family charter boat business. But his country's economic chaos isn't the only thing that has turned his world on its head..."-Goodreads

The Patmos Deception by Davis Bunn was really good and I highly enjoyed it. It had some flaws, but it was still entertaining. One of the few flaws it has was that it starts off kind of slow. This was is why it took me so long to start reading it, but afterwards I got into it and finished it in a few sittings. One other flaw was the epilogue, I has not a fan. Especially how he rushed the romance in said epilogue. As for things I liked, there was the plot and the characters. I thought the story line was good and that the characters were interesting and well developed. I did like the romance in the beginning as it was slow and it felt real. If that makes sense... But as I said he rushed the romance in the epilogue. While I was not a fan of the epilogue, I was a fan of how the crime evolved and how the crime was solved. I thought it was really good. The last thing I have to say is that Bunn was really good at describing his plot, characters, and settings. Like wow..

I would recommend it if you are into crime and adult books. I will leave all of the usual links below!

Happy Reading!

Finally! A April/May Wrap Up!

Hey Guys, Girls, and Everyone in between! I'm super sorry, I have not posted anything in a long time! It was the last two months of school for me, which involved prom, senior awards, and graduation. Very fricken hectic :D Also May was a really bad reading month because I didn't read a lot and was in a reading slump. I started multiple books and finished two books for school. I also read one novella to my cousin before his bed time while babysitting. On the other hand, April was a really good reading month because I read seven books. APRIL! The books I read in April were: Bound by Duty by Stormy Smith : 5/5 I absolutely adored this book and I got so addicted to it that I needed the next book right away! I even got the next book through the author Stormy, who is so sweet. Here is the link to my review if you are interested! :D  http://perksofbeingalatenightreader.blogspot.com/2015/04/bound-by-duty-by-stormy-smith-booktalk.html Bound by Spells by Stormy Smith : 5/5 I cont...

DAY ONE! Reading Cram 2.0: Chills and Thrills Readathon! TBR Challenge!

"Oct 24-- TBR challenge- -List what books you are planning to read for the read-a-thon, on your blog, YouTube, etc. You don't have to stick to the list FYI :)"- Juliababyjen These are not in any particular order and I may or may not read these. This is a rough idea of the books I'll be reading or trying to read. Three of the six books were recommended to me by MonsterMen13 on YouTube...well not exactly to me but in general.  Also just because I wrote down six books does not mean I'll get to them or that I will read six books.  **The themes are based off of the summary and friends** Stardust by Neil Gaiman ; started Spooky Theme: Witches... I started this during the Octobathon and did not finish. Horns by Joe Hill Spooky Theme: Thriller, Mystery... I heard about this book from padfootandprangs07 a while back. Then my friend recommended it to me. Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children  By Ransom R...
