Ashlyn is the pretties girl in Mt. Timmons, VA.  But she doesn’t embrace her beauty, she is always dreaming up ways to make herself ‘normal’ like the other girls. The girls are all mean to her and treat her like crap.  The boys, they all want to date her and be with her.  She has an emotionally abusive mother who tries to push her will onto Ashlyn any chance she gets and an absent father.  Her brother is the only ally she has, until she meets Zeus, who sweeps her off her feet.  She meets his family, they are non-traditional, but amazing.  Ashlyn feels at home with them and is welcomed with open arms.  Zeus’s family brings magic and whimsy to this book, which make it more interesting.Strange things start happening to Ashlyn, her house is broke into, her room is vandalized, sexting pics are spread thru the student body.  Is her ex behind this?  He has to be.  Things go from bad to worse, when her ex is found dead, Ashlyn is blamed for his death on social media.  So who is behind all these attacks on Ashlyn?  Can she and Zeus survive all this?  Does Ashlyn have it in her to fight?  The end of the story had my jaw drop!  No way!The plot twist in the store had me wondering who was behind it all.  This book held my interest, yes there was teenage drama and angst, but it’s a young adult book, it’s supposed too!  Her best friend Beza seemed like a tag alone and she wasn’t really important to the story, at least in my opinion.  It’s a quick read that I enjoyed, it would be perfect for the beach or a rainy weekend read.
