5 starsI received an arc from the author in exchange for an honest review.When I first read mythos, in my head I imagined the Greek gods. I didn't actually read the blurb. But it's more than that. It started at the civilization of Atlantis wherein aliens mated with humans and left which results to the descendants from these matings. Itzel came from a domestic abusive relationship from her father 7 years ago and recently she learned about his death. Upon attending her father's funeral she meets her half brother Osiris a.k.a. Oz and his friend Seth. Along the story, she learned from her brother about their lineage and for a moment it seems unbelievable despite having her power and seeing the unique powers of the others. She then meets, Aidan, the grey-eyed boy from her dreams and feels an instant connection to him. The four of them forms a friendship of sorts in order to find out about Stephen's cryptic message and what it would mean for them.The book was actually a fun and very mysterious read. I love that their names are somehow always pertain to a god of religion/belief. I was more interested in Aidan and Itzel's relationship and how she was able to dream about him. And the mysterious Wisdom which the aliens will want to claim back. The characters are easy to like although that explains a certain trait they all have in common which is partly annoying for me (referring to Itzel). Although, I must say that I felt for their father when I understood why he acted that way. In the end, they can't be blame for the things they do when it hits them.I really enjoyed the twist in the story, the friendship, and the budding romance of Aidan and Itzel. The ending makes me crave more.
