I thoroughly enjoyed this book (a copy gratefully received from NetGalley). The combination of abilities linked to the old gods, the futuristic setting and the relationships amongst the main characters had me hooked throughout. There was plenty of action to keep the plot moving and I’ll definitely be getting the next book in the series.

I wasn't sure what to expect with this book but I really enjoyed it, I loved the different link to greek mythology and the intriguing magic system related to them. I found the characters to be realistic, complex and lovable. There were many times that I wasn't sure about the true motives of them. The criminal underground theme in the story was really well done and the politics of the relationship with the police interesting too. The ending was very action packed and I looking forward to the next book!

I was absolutely positive that I was done with Young Adult books, but this seems to have thrown a spanner in the works!

Such an imaginative world, I love the idea that it’s hinted to be a dystopian future of our world right now, clearly based in Greece and with amazing hints to other countries and their ancient belief systems. 

The story, although its basis is just a murder mystery, takes some wonderful twists and turns which keeps you engaged and enthralled.

I love the concept of this book and the characters overall. The pacing toward the end of the book threw me off, but still really enjoyable.
