BOOK SYNOPSIS:
As the Mayan hero Técun lay dying, a sorceress cast a spell tying her bloodline to him, so that one day he could return and avenge their people…
Following a near-death experience, Cassandra Gonzales is haunted by erotic dreams of a mysterious man. As the dreams intensify, she is compelled to travel to Guatemala in search of him. There she learns that her blood has opened a gate—and she is the only one who can bring the great warrior back from the afterlife.
Once faced with Técun in the flesh, Cassie fears the need he stirs within her. She aches to submit to the pleasure he promises, but first she must learn to trust in him, and in her own desires. Their time for sensual exploration is brief—Técun’s killer has escaped, intent on sacrificing Cassie and wreaking havoc on the world. Now, only Cassie’s complete and willing surrender to Técun will give him the power to defeat the demon once and for all…

REVIEW:
First let me say I have not read a lot of time travel books so I am not sure if this is common for most of this genre but it seemed so unbelievable. I know that time travel does not really happen but when I read a book I want to believe it can come true. I was unsure if I could buy the whole going all the way to a different country to find a man who is only in my dreams just to have him come through some gate in a cave but when the zombie came out I was beyond enjoying this book.

I was not too thrilled with the writing style of the book. First it was written in the first person which really did not seem to fit the story somehow. Also it seemed that Tecun was using Cassie more than was there for her. They did not have a connection at all. In one of the chapters one of the characters says “It’s like a bad B-movie” and I have to say I felt like the whole book was like that. But if you like B-movies, time travel, warriors and zombies this might just be the book for you.
