CHAOS is an explosive and powerful start to the new Kardia Chronicles series, and I for one cannot wait to see where the next book is going to take Maggie and Mac. CHAOS uses mythology as part of the background story, while there is the obvious Ancient Greek mythology; other ancient mythologies do make an appearance. Christine O'Neil used a very interesting concept of distant bloodlines of the old ancient gods and human mixing to make demi and semi-gods, each with their own unique gifts that share traits with the god of their bloodline.Maggie never knew she was not completely human, until she woke up with power that she has no control over and she is not sure if she can get control over them. Then her accident with Eric sets things in motion and Maggie is no longer sure if having this power is ever going to be a good thing. Just when she thinks she has a gripe on herself, Mac Finnegan enters the picture and he has made it his mission to rile her up and drive her crazy every way possible. When it starts to mess with her control, she starts to wonder if she is going to end up like all the other Kardia Aphrodites evil and power hungry.I will have to say that I love mythology especially the mythology about ancient gods. I am guessing the history nerd in me is drawn to it. With that love of mythology, I really like the way Christine O'Neil took the basis of it and created her own story with it. Everything from Maggie's powers to discovering other types of semi gods had me completely enthralled, and my inner history nerd devouring everything. The best part is you do not have to know anything about mythology to enjoy the story.I think that anyone who likes a good paranormal story with a side of romance must add CHAOS to their reading list. Entangled Teen continues to put out incredible stories by fabulous authors, and their new Ember line is off to the best start with a novel like CHAOS. I know I will be anxiously awaiting the next installment in the Kardia Chronicles.
