From the catacombs of Paris to the skeletal ossuaries of Sicily and the Czech Republic, Morgan and Jake must find the Devil’s Bible and stop the curse being released into the world before one in four are destroyed in the coming holocaust.

I am currently on book 7 of the series and have not been able to put them down. The combination of action thriller and mystical is very interesting. Both Morgan and Jake are great characters. Look forward to finish off the whole 11 book series.
Stone of Fire (ARKANE Book 1) by J.F. Penn
10/10

Ark of Blood (ARKANE Book 3) by J.F. Penn
10/10
Jerusalem in turmoil with sectarian rivalries creating violence in the streets, spurred on by those who wish to gain.
In a typical gory scene, they murder a guardian which leads to a search for the Ark of the Covenant by those who wish to use its enormous power to fulfill their political dreams.
Arkane teams Morgan with other members as her usual partner is still recovering from wounds.
In the usual fast-paced action throughout, this very well-written book proceeds to the climax where everything resolves, saving the Middle East from a private Armageddon
Another in the Arkane series I can thoroughly recommend
These books are all fast-paced, action-adventure thrillers, following Morgan Sierra (great name) as she pursues supernatural objects around the world trying to avert global disaster. They are well written, entertaining escapism and perfect to read in the sun, or – as I did – on audio as I progress from the couch to a 5k run via an app (nothing to do with the books, it’s just how I like to use Audible). When I start driving again, I’m sure I’ll be enjoying subsequent books in the car too.
For the audio, they are clearly narrated, with an engaging tone, and a quality story. Looking forward to Morgan accompanying me on more runs.
Stone of Fire (ARKANE #1). Captivating, well-developed characters coupled with an intriguing storyline make for a page-turning read! I’m a character reader, I get into what makes characters tick, who and what they are. Penn does a good job with her character development, you can like and/or hate these characters. I like the storyline although it seemed stretched in places. She lays the groundwork for an ongoing series.
Crypt of Bone by author J.F. Penn is a captivating, well-developed characters coupled with an intriguing storyline make for a page-turning read! The sequel to Stone of Fire.

Ark of Blood (ARKANE #3), my seventh read from author J.F. Penn, was captivating, with well-developed characters coupled with an outstanding suspense story-line with its intricately woven twists and turns. I’m a character reader, I get into what makes characters tick, who and what they are. Penn does a good job with her character development; you can like and/or hate these characters. I was given an Audible copy of this book and am voluntarily reading & reviewing it. Narrator Veronica Giguere’s narration adds to the book’s enjoyment. I’ll be reading more by this author as I get more of her books. (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 – July 24, 2018).
