Readers should read with caution, needs reader warnings on the book.

I didn't know what this was about, it had been sitting on my TBR for years and forgot about it. randomly selected it when I was looking at a different book so this was quite a surprise. Action packed based in Greek mythology set in present day. strong yet flawed female lead character. Good fit for fans of Greek mythology and fantasy, readers who enjoy stories about found family, self-discovery, and the complexity of loyalty and power.
