Maggie recently has found out that she is what they call a Semi-God..Someone who descends from a god or goddess. In Maggie's case, it's Aphrodite, the greek goddess of love, beauty, pleasure, and procreation. She's slowly coming into her powers and watch out, because if you piss her off you might end up in a coma like her Ex, Eric.Out of nowhere, the New kid, Hot & Irish, Mac Finnegan, has decided that he wants to mess with Maggie for no good reason. He seems to know how to push her buttons just right and that's not a good thing for him or Maggie.---I have to be honest, it took a while for the story to get going but once it did I really started to enjoy the book. I loved Maggie and the things that came out her mouth. She was witty, sarcastic and full of attitude and had no problem saying what was on her mind. When you put her and Mac Finnegan together. Wowie! The chemistry between was electric, though both of them try to deny it's there. The bickering between the two of them was entertaining and sometimes it seemed as though Maggie wanted to attack and kiss him, while other times she wanted to attack and kill him.It's interesting to see Maggie's character develop throughout the book as she learns more about where she comes from and how to control her new powers and try to be the best that she can be, rather than the worst that they expect her to be.Even though it started out slow, this book did pick up and when it did I couldn't put it down. If you're a fan of Greek Mythology and books where the protagonist is a snarky teenaged girl, I definitely recommend this book.
