struggled to be invisible, to not be noticed, to avoid conflict. Running from a
broken relationship, Kasey flees to Spain
Excerpt:
“Tell me what happened,”
he said serious.
I recalled his brother
lying dead on the forest floor. I didn’t want to cry, “I must be crazy.” My
voice sounded distant even to me. Had I lost my voice?
He looked at me and
smiled, “You are not crazy. I promise.”
“You know what I saw,
don’t you?” I challenged.
“Why not tell me what
you saw, and we will go from there.”
Still uncertain, but
wanting to trust him, I took a deep breath and explained what I had seen.
He interrupted before I
finished, “Did you see any blood?”
“What?” I snapped.
“Did you see any blood?”
he asked again in the same monotone voice.
I summoned up the
memories of the gladiator fight. I tried to remember and realized he was right.
It was a very clean scene, no blood.
“I don’t understand
how…” I whispered.
“Kasey, the world as you
know it, is not what it seems.” He stared across the ocean.
“What do you mean?
What’s going on Dion?” I demanded.
“Kasey, before I explain
what you saw there are a few things you need to know.”
My Review:
The cover had me intrigued but the book description pulled
me and loving the ride the story took me on.
Kasey has unorthodox parents who give her and her little brother
no structure. Going to Spain
I loved Kasey from page one. With everything she has gone
through with her parents she is a smart, and caring. Her love for her little
brother really shows every time they talk on the phone or she is talking about
him. Dion and her brothers are amazing. They are immortal and each has special
powers. Dion’s is he is really fast. And they don’t make guys like him or his
brothers anymore. They are so sweet and chivalrous and Dion just had me
swooning all over him from the start. I loved the chemistry between Kasey and
Dion even though he knew she was coming and meant for him he never pressured
her to fall quickly for him. At times I wanted to smack Kasey though for
fighting her attraction and pushing him away but I understood also learning
that your boyfriend is immortal can not be easy but she does handle all the
weirdness good. Add the fact that Kasey has her own weird heritage makes her
and Dion a perfect match.
I loved all the side characters. They added to the story
line and I can’t wait to learn more about all of Dion’s brothers. I enjoyed how
Marisette adds people from history along with Gods and Demi-Gods. All the
history thrown in plus Greek mythology makes for such an amazing story that
will leave you wanting more. 5/5 Bloody Fangs

Excerpt:
Artemis’eyes narrowed her lips rose in a half smile. She resembled
a mischievous fox. “They will kill her, then nothing can stop us.”
Shock, dread, and every bad feeling that I could muster did within
me. Tired of playing games with this has-been goddess, I swung aggressively
then kicked my foot behind hers. I knocked Artemis onto her back. With the tip
of my foot I threw her blade into the water. I straddled the woman, my knees
holding her arms down. My sword’s tip positioned above her heart. My hand
around her neck gripping tightly. She coughed.
“Kill who? Who are you after?” I pressed her head into the dock.
She resisted me, choked and smiled. She whispered, “Pandora’s
granddaughter of course.”
With petrified shock, I squeezed her neck tighter. “Who is after
her and why?” I yelled inches from her wretched face.
She began a
maniacal giggle, then maneuvered her left arm free, and before I could gain
control of it again she gripped the handle of my sword and pulled it into her
heart.
