I have never in my life read a book quite like this. And I've read many a books in my lifetime. Greek mythology meets Modern day technology to create an incredible journey!The White Oak delivered a unique telling of mythical creatures, Greek mythology, mixed in with technology, family, death, and so much more. From the beginning this book had me on the edge of my seat waiting to see what else would happen to Cora. The judges especially had been thoroughly spooked (read it to find out why).Cora goes through so many unique adventures that I'm pretty sure many of us would never even dream of. All the creatures she meets, the souls she comes across and the places she goes to left me speechless. Cora is confused, tired, and all she really wants to do is back home with her brother unfortunately there are things she must do first before any of these things can be considered. I don't think any of us would have fared as well as she did were we in her shoes.The book an eerie quality that I just loved which also added suspense to Cora's journey throughout the Underworld. Adding a little bit of Lucas' POV as well as Minos' gave a little extra umph to the story. Through these two we learn who the nemesis is and even a hint as to why they want Cora so badly.Not only was I never bored but I never felt that there was anything lacking in the plot, or the characters or the way it flowed. I literally have no complaints about this book (weird). Read this book! Most of you will end up with this face --> O.o I know I did!
