“She missed death the first time it came for her, and she was ready—maybe even eager—for it here. For that last, final, ultimate hiding place, the darkness in which no one could ever find her.”
This was a pretty intense read! I really wanted something a bit spookier and I did get that from this book. I liked the Greek mythological themes, and the character growth. A lot of the book tells the backstory of the characters which I found quite interesting too.
The story explores history and how choices from generations ago affect our lives and the lives of our families, and even strangers, for hundreds of years. That some traditions deserve to die.
Definitely a great read and highly recommend for someone looking for something a bit darker (but not overwhelmingly so)!
