End of Days (ARKANE)

If you've read any of J.F. Penn's ARKANE series you will be glad to hear that End of Days is as excellent a read as the other books. If you've never read one of the series you have really missed exciting stories that include real places and events along with well written fiction. In End of Days we see Dr Morgan Sierra and Jake Timber, with the assistance of Martin Klein, employ all of their skills in an attempt to stop the Brotherhood of the Serpent from fulfilling the Babylonian prophecy of the serpent and End Times. Once you read one of the ARKANE I guarantee you'll want to read other books in the series.

I was provided with a review copy of this book but this in no way influenced my comments.

J.F. Penn has hands down become my favorite author! End of Days, which I receives in advance free for this honest review, didn't disappoint. From page 1 to the end it grabbed my attention and didn't let go.

End of days by Penn. I received a free copy of this book and volunteered to review it. I was prepared to buy it, sight and reviews unseen because Joanna's Arkane stories are brilliant. "End of days" has great writing, great characters, brilliant settings and "edge of seat" reading as the heroes find the artefacts, only to have the baddies steal them from them.

JF Penn has produced another great supernatural thriller featuring the 'Arkane' team of Morgan Sierra and Jake Timber, starting with the discovery of an artefact warning of that Satan will be released when the thousand years are ended, which leads to the discovery of a sarcophagus deep in the ocean, and the search for 7 seals which are needed to unlock it and release a great serpent.
The search for the seals leads both Morgan & Jake and a mysterious brotherhood around the world and culminates in a battle between the 2 sides in Jerusalem.
As always the author keeps the breathless pace and excitement at fever pitch but still manages to very skillfully weave in evocative descriptions of the locations. The characters are all satisfyingly complex, and in particular the internal conflict that Morgan experiences is depicted superbly
This is the 9th book in the 'Arkane' series, and maintains and even improves the quality of the series as a whole, I hope that there are lots more!
I did receive a free copy of this book but have no other affiliation with the author, and I have voluntarily reviewed it.
