Okay, I loved this for a variety of reasons. Who wouldn't like a fresh spin on Greek mythology with an author who has an awesome YA voice that wraps around a cast of characters who draw you right in? An engaging and emotional story with just the right amount of snarky one liners to balance it all and get you smiling. I was really pleased to see that the hero, Mac, had to do a bit of growing in this journey. I love a hero who has to be convinced (firsthand) that his heroine is worth fighting for. Mac may have started off on the defensive, but once he starts to understand Maggie? *sigh* Well, I wouldn't mind a guy like him being protective of me. That's all I'm saying. As for Maggie? Totally lovable. Hard, soft, easy and difficult all wrapped up in a compassionate package.Yup, I'd say this was a vivid and fast-paced read.FAB and FAV lines?I was pretty with a lowercase p. As for standing out in other ways, well...I just didn't.His eyes went dark and steely, and I knew for sure his next words were going to be 100% truth. And I wasn't going to like itHis mouth was molten hot and his lips devoured mine. It wasn't neat, it wasn't pretty, but it was everything. Giving. Taking. Crushing.Such a great start to the series. I'm so looking forward the next book.
