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!

catwithbooks's review against another edition
4.5
Ren bekommt ihre eigenen Geschichte. Da habe mich sehr drüber gefreut. Man sollte aber vorher "Zane gegen die Götter" gelesen haben. Sonst fehlt einen einiges an Informationen und Hintergrund Wissen.
Ren mochte ich schon aus der Zane Reihe und mir gefällt das wieder die Götter aus den südamerikanischen Raum genommen werden. Ist quasi schon fast eine weiter Führung der Ereignisse aus der anderen Reihe.
Mir hat die Geschichte sehr gefallen. Sie war spannend und abenteuerlich mit einer Prise Humor. Die abtrünnigen Gottgeborenen versuchen selber an sie Macht zu erlangen. Ren versucht die Welt zu retten und sich einer Prophezeiung stellen.
Prophezeiungen finde ich immer ganz spannend, da sie manchmal nicht leicht leicht zu entschlüsseln sind. Und oft dann ganz anders sich erfüllen als gedacht.
Ren ist natürlich nicht alleine auf Mission und ihre Begleitung ist sehr vielfältig von den Charakteren her.
Das Ende war gemein und bin froh wenn der 2te band erscheint.
