I loved this! The take on the Greek mythology was really interesting and unique, little confusing at first but it gets there.
Also in a shocking turn of events: This is a YA, includes a love triangle, and I didn't hate it. Jack and Nikki's relationship is actually I think one of the best I've read in a YA fantasy. It's really believable and sweet and you can tell they genuinely love each other. I tend to feel like all the teenage romances are really shallow and pointless and this was completely the opposite. And even though Cole is The Bad Guy and a complete jerk the entire time, he's still pretty interesting and complex. Granted I may feel this way because I actually read book 1.5 before I read book 1 so I know a little more about Cole than is told here.
In general this was a SUPER fast read (seriously, I would sit down and read for like 10 minutes and get 50 pages, it goes crazy fast) and really enjoyable. Looking forward to the next one.
