So like I was saying, I don’t ever really hear about books that deal with Greek Mythology, specifically having a Gorgon involved, that ISN’T about Medusa. Nothing wrong with Medusa, don’t get me wrong. I love that chica. But I didn’t even think about her sisters? I also think that Davon did a great job at picking which sister we wanted to get to know better, meaning Euryale. For some reason, I felt like I was able to connect to her a little bit more than her sister, but then again that could be because we were mostly in her point of view. Either way, I was really invested in her journey, and totally felt her mistrust of the Gods because they were the ones that made their lives a living hell.

Then we also had Asher, who has a banshee for a mother and that was interesting in itself. I don’t know if I really liked him a lot as a character, but he wasn’t bad. I think I was more on Team Euryale more than Team Asher, but they had some pretty steamy scenes between them. Especially that time in the bar when they first went together with Lenno – who is a water panther?! like that’s freaking cool! – and Euryale was like somehow in the mind of the bartender and was feeling when he had sex on a beach one time. That was interesting. It was like Euryale was that bartender, since she could feel the… ahem… well the oral pleasure that he experienced with whatever girl he was on the beach with.

If I were in either of their shoes, especially Euryale’s shoes, I would definitely not trust the gods to make me look human after all these years. Why would they keep their word when they are known for being deceptive and vindictive? It’s no wonder that she even waited a few days to make sure that this change actually stuck, despite what Ares and Athena said. I wouldn’t even trust Ares honestly, so maybe I wouldn’t even have risked it. Imagine if she did end up turning back into a monster while she was in public? Imagine the risk involved with that, and the repercussions to go along with it. I mean, she could easily kill any of the humans that did see her, but would she want to?

Yeah, yeah she might.

I think that this was a good first installment of this series, and I’m curious to see what else is in store.
