Vicious Circle by Linda Robertson
3.0
This is the beginning of Percephone Alcmedi's story, a witch that finds her life changed in many ways, with her grandmother moving in with her and a task that goes against what she stands for.
Percephone is very reluctant to leave her comfort zone and everything that's happening in her life forces her to do just that. She suppresses and avoids and postpones dealing with her biggest issues in hopes they will magically disappear, which, of course, doesn't happen. She realizes she's even more out of her league when a very powerful vampire enters the picture, when she knows virtually nothing about vampires.
There is a mix of different deities and mythical and mystical lore combined in the story and there is even a prophecy of sorts about a person walking between the lines of the three worlds (human, werewolf and vampire), or the Lustrata, as they call her.
Johnny, the main hero is very unlike what one would expect of an alpha werewolf and is pretty much a mystery so far. Menessos, the big bad vampire, is another mystery and I'm curious to see how the events at the end of this book have affected him.
Next comes [b:Hallowed Circle|6329337|Hallowed Circle (Persephone Alcmedi, #2)|Linda Robertson|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1388879396s/6329337.jpg|6514975], in which I hope Percephone will continue to change for the better and manage to find her place in her world.
