I read this book in one sitting.

Good Points

Kelly Keaton's writing is smooth. She did a great job bringing out the plot lines and characters, as well as making their story gripping and believable. She brings different elements of greek mythology into a breathtaking imaginative world, with Ari slowly getting to know her tragic past. She couldn't have picked a better setting in New Orleans...haunting. There were twist and turns you didn't even see coming. I really love Greek mythology and the twist she put on it to make certain myths her own.

I don't think I can possibly overstate how much I love this book.

I love this book.

I had no expectations when I started it, and I was just blown away. The post-apoc world of New Orleans is so haunting and vivid. I felt like I was there. The characters are compelling, flawed, and interesting. And the plot twists are perfectly paced. This is the kind of book that stayed with me for DAYS after I finished reading. So beautifully atmospheric. Read this.

The story is amazing! Being in New 2 (New Orleans rebuilt) and encountering characters with a plethora of powers made me feel like I was right there with them. Ari evolves throughout the story, starting out as a foster child all her life and becoming a savior/weapon once she uncovers more of her past. Overall, it's an amazing read for those that love a supernatural twist to a coming of age story where a young girl uncovers her destiny.

Literally as soon as I was done with the last page I hopped onto my computer to find out when the sequel would be out!

Good Points

Mythological yet futuristic type background.

You feel in touch with the characters and the story, making it hard to put down!
