I absolutely loved this book for so many reasons...One of the most obvious to me is its genre and subject matter - both of which I love.  I guess it would technically be considered a young adult paranormal or young adult paranormal romance.  Either way, I love those types of stories.  If you like that genre, you will love this too as it has the same type of unique, fantastical characters with awesome powers and a fun, exciting young adult-type romance.  It's also a modern retelling of Greek mythology, which makes for very interesting subject matter (loved the Percy Jackson series).  But the way she tells the story is very unique and creative.Another reason this book is amazing is plot and pace.  The plot was clever with lots of twists and turns and had plenty of action, romance, or sometimes both simultaneously, to keep the reader interested and intrigued.  It crescendoed just at the right time to an awesome climax and had a great resolution...complete with cliffhanger, of course.  I won't hold a grudge, though.  I guess I can wait for the sequel.  Maybe.Lastly, the way she wrote drew me in from the very first paragraph.  Kaitlin is great at drawing her reader into the realms she's created by describing everything so fully and interestingly.  She's especially great with her dialogue.  With as much dialogue as this book has, it would be easy for some of it to end up coming across as dry, plain, or without inflection or tone.  However, Kaitlin managed to convey every word and sentence uniquely in a way that helps the reader understand how the characters look, how they sound, and how they feel.  And since the world she's created is so fun and interesting, who wouldn't want to get drawn into it to hang around and play with the characters?All in all, this is a fantastic book that you won't want to put down!  If you like stories in this genre, you can't go wrong.
