Blurb:
Xan was raised by his father Ares to be ruthless and lethal.
As a kynigόs, he spends his time eliminating monsters that prey on naïve
mortals and foolish demigods. There’s no doubt he’s the best, but the sons of
Apollo are arrogant idiots, and what should’ve been an easy kill turns deadly.
Forced to recuperate, Xan is surrounded by painful memories
and fresh accusations. All he wants is to escape. Unfortunately for him, the
residents have their own agendas.
Xan may be the son of Ares, but his fighting skills are no
match for the destiny the Fates have woven for him.
Son of War is a Sphinx Series companion story; however, it
can be enjoyed independent of the series.
This is perfect for
readers who love the adventure of Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson and the romance
of Melissa Marr's Wicked Lovely. With Greek gods and goddesses, curses, action,
and a slow building romance, The Sphinx Series is a new take on ancient myths.
Ideal for tweens, teens, and the young adult at heart.

My Review:
Xan spends his time hunting down monsters and kills them. He
likes working alone but when the daughter of Athena asks him to let the sons of
Apollo join him on a hunt he reluctantly agrees. His opinion of the sons of
Apollo is that they are dimwits and does not work well with others. They have
no concept of what working as team means.
When tragedy strikes doing the hunt the sons of Apollo blame
Xan for what happened while he is unconscious and defenseless from injuries
sustained doing the hunt.
Now Xan is stuck at the conservatory while he heals from his
wounds. He can’t wait until he is better so he can get back to hunting
monsters. But the other demigods have other plans for him. They want him to
stay at the conservatory to train other demigods as he is the best.
I have read all of the books in the Sphinx series and have
loved all of them. I am team Xan and have been ever since being introduced to
him. I like Xan because he is so mysterious and he likes to keep to himself.
If you haven’t read any of the other books in the Sphinx
series you can still read Xan’s story Son of War but then you would miss out on
all the other wonderful characters and their stories. So my recommendation is
that you read all of the books in the Sphinx series I mean you surely don’t
want to miss out on Hope, Athan and all the other characters stories either.
If you like reading about demigods, gods, goddess, mythology
then you will love the Sphinx series as it is so very good. I can’t wait to
read more in Hope, Xan, Athan and the Sphinx’s world. I am so grateful to Raye
Wagner for giving me the opportunity to enjoy the Sphinx series.
