Book Review…The Lords of Night by J.C. Cervantes
Fourteen-year-old Renata Santiago is the most powerful godborn of them all, Ren is also a girl with ordinary hopes and dreams. When Ren receives an email about a possible alien sighting in Kansas, she thinks it could be her chance to prove her theory. It could also mean that the cinco, five renegade godborns are up to no good. Soon Ren finds herself embroiled in a quest to prevent the troublemakers from awakening the nine Aztec Lords of Night and overthrowing the Maya gods. None of Ren’s usual friends are available to help, so Ren has no choice but to team up with two strangers: Edison, a demon hybrid, and Montero, an Aztec hunter. This isn’t just another challenge. It could well be an impossible one that leaves Ren questioning her very existence.
I was excited for this book. I've read the Storm Runner series so I was really interested in seeing what was going to happen with Ren in her own series. If you haven't read Storm Runner I suggest reading it before this book. It's a fast paced story with great characters! Ren is a compelling main character. With plenty of twists, action and adventure this is a fun read! Myth, a magical time rope, demons, aliens, legends and Lore what more can you ask for! Thank you Rockstar Book Tours and J.C. Cervantes for sharing this book with me!

I loved this book so much. It reads almost like a direct continuation of the previous series (The Shadow Runner) just with a different protagonist. This increased my enjoyment as well because I think that Cervantes' narration style works much better with Ren than with Zane. I also loved where Cervantes took Ren's character, this bubbly, "Pollyanna-ish" girl who is also one of the most powerful godborns with the power of shadows that might make her travel down a dark path. I eagerly anticipate the sequel.
