5 of 5 StarsFor original review see The Prism Book Alliance Blog onlineHow cool would it be to be a shape shifter with a strong dose of magic skills?If you asked Killian Tenebris he would probably tell you not so much. Practically caged since birth, experimented on and tortured he has no concept of how to live in the real world. Simple everyday things that everyone around him takes for granted elude him and leave him feeling inadequate and isolated. This was never an issue when he had no human contact but since joining forces with the rest of the skull blaster team he is facing new challenges every day. One of those challenges is Stone Marinos.Stone is one of a group of young men who have recently learned they are children of The Olympians. He is the child of Apollo, a demigod, not something he was really prepared for. He is still coming to terms with this information and trying to get a handle on his ever developing powers. If that wasn’t enough he is all too aware that there are dark forces working against him and others like him and they have to remain vigilant at all times.When Stone and Killian first met it was a disaster. Killians ‘say what first comes into your head’ manner offends Stone and leaves him angry and hostile. As Killian has secretly been given the job of being Stones bodyguard he has to come up with a novel way of doing it….the results of which may just backfire and further isolate him from this intriguing man.Killians first dabble with feelings is both funny and sad. He has no idea what the fluttering in his stomach means, he finds it excruciating to find the right words but he knows that he has never felt this way before. Thank god the rest of the team are on hand to help in his first foray into conversation and romance.As Killian tries to be more ‘human’ Stone worries that he has so little experience in the matters of the heart, well he actually hasn’t kissed anyone before that things will never progress. Luckily the housemates and puppy are on hand to help steer things in the right direction. Just as progress is being made, disaster strikes, and the team must all pull together again. This mission gives them more than they bargained for and the team may have grown again.
