In the spirit of full disclosure I received an e-copy of the book {through Lovers Of Paranormal} in exchange for an honest review.At first I feared I would only be able to give this a 3 star rating because A: Most of the first five chapters is backstory. B: I didn't fully connect to the main character. C: it took until chapter seven for me to get hooked into the story. And D: Itzy {the main character} is a bit too tame for me and feels sorry for herself too often for my liking.That said, the originality is astounding. The author has taken the legends of Atlantis, Alien lore, and Greek mythology and wrapped them into an entertaining Mythology of her own. It's not often I see such originality that really grabs me anymore. It took a long time to get pulled into the story, but once the originality showed through I couldn't stop reading. At times I laughed, times I felt dissapointed for the characters.Of all the characters first Seth {Itzy's brother's best friend} caught my attention, then Oz {Itzy's brother} then finally Aiden {the love interest}.All in all I'm pleased with the story and the cliffhanger ending leaves you salivating for book two. Well done, Vrinda Pendred.
