Daughter of Mythos starts out with Nora once again being asked to leave a foster home.  Her foster parents never believe that she’s not destroying things.  I wanted to cry at how alone Nora seemed to be.  All she wanted was a family to call her own.  I would have liked to have gotten a little more background on what happened to her adoptive parents and how she ended up in foster care.  Nora finally starts to feel comfortable in her new foster home with Josie and Kasen, when everything changes.  It all starts to change when a new boy starts at her school, Zane.  All of a sudden, she’s thrust into a world where everything she thought of as myth isn’t.  I found this to be a very sudden occurrence with little explanation.  Suddenly she’s on the run from mythical creatures that want her dead to keep the portals between the worlds from closing.  Nora finds out she’s the Daughter of Mythos and she can close the portals to keep demons from infiltrating Earth.  I really did enjoy the fast pace this book offered.  It was action packed from the beginning and definitely kept my attention.  I loved how Josie and Kasen took Nora in and seemed to love her from the start.  I didn’t want to like Zane.  He was very standoffish and had the attitude of being better than Nora.  I was confused by his age because of the long lifespan of portal guards.  I did come to love him by the end of the book.  There were definitely some twists and turns that kept me on my toes.  Overall, I really enjoyed this story and would love to read more of Nora’s adventures.
