The Delphi Revelation

Chris Everheart has written a smashing adventure/mystery/thriller that I had to read in one sitting, all three books. As such, I couldn't possibly review them individually, but each book stayed interesting, kept to the storyline, and didn't miss a beat of Everheart's wicked music, so I give them all five stars. The story follows Zach White, a mysterious teenager who leaves France after graduation to return to his even more mysterious hometown. Seems his mother left him with a curiosity he just had to satisfy. He returns to the town looking for answers, about his father's death ten years before, the paranoid insanity exhibited by his mother until her recent death, and why he can't use his real name anymore.

He finds a mystery girl who knows more than she can say, a mystery friend who may not really be a friend, a mystery enemy who may be a friend, and a town shoulder-deep in the biggest conspiracy of the planet. Finding his answers and putting a stop to the League of Delphi are at the top of Zach's list, but he can't help a little romance hitting him between the eyes in this excellent trilogy.

The tension is racheted up as book 3 of Chris Everheart's Delphi Trilogy races to an explosive conclusion.. Using the knowledge of the tunnels beneath e town, Zach and his friends have a slim hope to escape the League. Ashley's visions come more frequently, even without medications. IF YOU READ ANY OF THE DELPHI BOOKS... YOU WONT WANT TO MISS THIS!

I enjoyed the series very much, but I feel that the book, and with it the series, ended rather abruptly.
Other than that I thoroughly enjoyed reading the Delphi trilogy. As someone who is proficient in Greek, I think it's also safe to say that you researched your Greek well.

Good job to everyone involved in this publication!

Holy smokes. GREAT!!! Loved the set.

As the last book in the trilogy. Well-rounded and concluding a lot of the threads that were loose — though it took me some time before I was back into the loop (as it has been a while since I read the first and the second book).

In his YA series, The Delphi Trilogy, Chris Everheart has slowly introduced readers to a global conspiracy called the League of Delphi; a secret order which has evolved from the original Oracle of Delphi in ancient Greece into a worldwide organization with its webs spun around the world. One of the centers for this elite group being located in the idyllic town of Arcanville, U.S.A.; a city copied directly from a Thomas Kinkade painting.

But as we all know, looks can be deceiving, and no one realizes this more than sixteen year old Zachary White, who returns to his childhood home after nine years spent in French boarding schools under an assumed name. The weirdness of his life having built up in Zach a determination to discover the why of his strange life, and so he walks into Arcanville a loner, taking a job at the local coffee house, and begins his own private investigation into the wrongness of his old home.

Through books one and two of the series, Zach’s detective-like crusade has slowly but surely led him to uncover the horrible plot of the League of Delphi. And along the way, he has discovered things about his past and his present that he never would have imagined possible: seemingly normal people involved in sinister research at the local university, hidden records stretching back thousands of years, his own families involvement in all of it, and the central role the girl he loves plays in all the League’s plans.

Yes, Zach is a young man way over his head as this book begins. Someone who has trusted the wrong people, found himself betrayed, and yet is determined not to give up. He can’t, because the League’s plans are about to come to fruition and destroy people he loves. And so the stage is set for The Delphi Revelation.

Now, as most of my friends already know, YA novels and I do not usually mix. Blame it on my age, or my pessimistic adult nature, or whatever, but the fact is I generally find their youthful point of view naive at best and laughable at worst. (The only exception to this being Percy Jackson. I can’t help but love that kid. He reminds me of my own twelve year old son, I guess.) No matter my preconceived dislike of YA, however, Mr. Everheart’s Delphi Trilogy really sucked me in, made me turn the pages, and got me excited when the next installment arrived. It is, without a doubt, a story that entertains despite its youthful voice, despite its characters’ naivety, and despite their clueless decision-making, because Mr. Everheart uses all those perceived failing to make these some of the most normal teenagers I could imagine. And with The Delphi Revelation, he takes these normal teenagers, sends them into some dangerous situation and does a fitting job of wrapping up this part of Zach’s story, seamlessly resolving all the dangling plots, unveiling a surprise or two along the way, and leaving a reader wanting to hear the next chapter of Zach’s story – because we all know the League of Delphi won’t give up too easily.

So if you love YA or would jsut like to give it a try, pick this trilogy up. It is well worth a read.

I received this book from Netgalley in exchange for a fair and honest review. I’d like to thank Netgalley for allowing me to receive this review copy and inform everyone that the review you have read is my opinion alone.

Full disclaimer mode: I did not read the first two books. I had nothing against them. I just had no clue they existed. Even without having read the first two books (which I plan to read now to get the full enjoyment out of this one), I was able to understand a good deal of what was happening in the Delphi Revelation. It was action packed and very exciting! I was able to get invested in the main character (Zach) and his cookie cutter perfect town (Arcanville). At the beginning, Zach is beat down. He believes everyone he loves is either dead or has betrayed him. However, he finds out this is not true and they all try to escape the oppressive, mind controlling Delphi League. Zach's struggle to save those he loves is heart-felt and the plans to do so are realistic. The pace of the novel is fast - no skipping pages or boring parts here! It seems as though the story gives a satisfactory ending. However, it will leave you wondering if the Delphi have really given up or if another book is in the works. (I realize it is a trilogy...but it just doesn't seem like it could really be the end.)

Wow - this was one action-packed finale to this addictive trilogy! If you read the previous books, then you know there are oodles of secrets and mysteries still lurking, and all of those are revealed in this last book of the series.

Zach/Joshua was captured at the end of the last book and you can imagine what the league has been subjecting him to in the time between books. He believes Ashley is long gone, Katie has betrayed him, and there's no help coming. As with just about everything else in this series - things are not as they seem. There are even more allies than he knows lurking around in this sleepy town. Just when you think you know everyone's motivations and which side they're on, things keep changing.

Of course, Zach/Joshua escapes, finding all his allies, but finding even more problems coming his way. For a single boy, he sure has attracted a lot of trouble. His Dad isn't the man he thought he was, Katie isn't such a horrible person anymore, and Ashley is back by his side. The pacing and writing style made reading this book like watching an action flick. I couldn't put the book down! I'm sad that this is the end of this series, but very happy with the way it ended. All my questions have been answered (and even questions I didn't know I should have were answered!) and we even get a nice HEA. Sure, it's not perfect and pretty, but it's the ending that this town and story deserve.

Really good. Link to follow

In the last book, the Delphi Deception, the League captured Zach and was questioning him. Dante, the security guard injected Zach with the pneuma compound with the intent of learning all he knows. Poole, one of the guards that captured Zach approaches him in a cell. He surprises Zach with plans for an escape. Even under the influence of the pneuma compound Zach knows he has to get far away from the library but the effects of the drug hamper his efforts.

When he begins to wake he sees people he never expected to see. He learns they are a part of the Delphi Resistance. For as long as there has been The League, the Resistance has worked against them. But now Zach learns the Resistance has a devious plan and he has to wonder which group is worse. People are not who they seem and he continues to question who is on which side and why.

Zach find out his father is still alive and hiding in plain sight as Larry. He is not a part of the League or the Resistant. He has a plan of his own and it is up to Zach to see that Larry doesn’t succeed.

This was the third book in the Delphi Trilogy. I thought the series was well written and certainly kept my attention. Once I began the trilogy I couldn’t do anything for several days until I finished all three books to see how it ended.

I received a copy from the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

This is the thrilling conclusion to the Delphi Trilogy. This book was extremely hard to put down and so much was revealed that it was a little hard to keep it all straight. This is definitely a series that I will have to read again from the beginning to try and catch all the clues that I missed on the first read through. Highly recommended series for readers of all ages, especially if you like mystery/conspiracy stories!

Picking up where the second book left off, Chris Everhart plunges the reader back into the mysterious and action packed world of Arcanville. Although some questions were answered in the first book, more questions remained and Zach and Ashley managed to find just as much trouble as the mysteries they uncovered. Joined by allies they start to plan the down fall of the committee, but will it be enough?

All ages will enjoy this tale of age old secrets being brought to light as a pair of teenagers find that the idyllic college town is anything but. Follow them in a race to uncover centuries of hidden agendas and a secret society.

Will Zach and Ashley break free of the Delphi Society, or be crushed by them? Discover new twists in this thrilling story.
