This review is from: Solomon's Jar (Rogue Angel, Book 2) (Mass Market Paperback)

Alex Archer continues the fascinating story of archaeologist Annja Creed with ROGUE ANGEL: SOLOMON'S JAR.

Annja hears a rumor that the jar used by the biblical King Solomon to trap a legion of demons has been found. Legend states that Solomon harnessed the demons' power to build the revered temple in Jerusalem and then bound them to a jar. Annja begins to investigate this mystery and runs into a myriad of other people wanting the demons' power for their own nefarious purposes. Along the way, Annja will have to examine the true meaning of evil in this world.

ROGUE ANGEL: SOLOMON'S JAR is a wonderful follow up to the first book in the series, DESTINY. It can definitely be read as a stand alone novel, as Alex Archer provides all of the necessary details for the first time reader of the series. This reviewer highly recommends that all who love ROGUE ANGEL: SOLOMON'S JAR also read the first book, DESTINY, as the growth of Annja in her role as a modern day Joan of Arc is thrilling to see.

Annja is a fascinating character as she has been thrust into a role she doesn't quite believe in. A softer side is displayed through her relationship with Aidan Pascoe and it will be interesting to see if he reappears in future books. Annja's strength of both character and physical ability make her a powerful force and it is intriguing to see this concept of a strong, feminine role applied to the field of archaeology. Alex Archer also does a superb job at interweaving a metaphysical side to Annja through her conversations with Tsipporah. Their conversation regarding good and evil is quite simply riveting.

ROGUE ANGEL: SOLOMON'S JAR is a must read (or listen, he he)! The action-packed storyline is both thought-provoking and entertaining. Alex Archer ensures that the reader will keep turning the pages with this fast paced thriller. ROGUE ANGEL: SOLOMON'S JAR is sure to hook readers on the exploits of Annja Creed!
