FromGodsBTBanner GGKEY-PHQ222HXNL7_frontcover f404f-addtogoodreads   Synopsis   Did you just see a flash of lightning across the sky on a clear sunny day? It’s not from Mother Nature. It is most likely from Mason Grand, swoon-worthy demigod, one of Zeus’s descendants. Skylar Rome is supposed to be having the best summer ever before she heads off to college. Little did she know, her whole life was about to change while visiting her cousin. Nearly drowning at the beach due to unknown forces, one of the Grand brothers she’d just met, Mason, saves her life. Cool, collected, mysterious, and dangerously good-looking, Skylar is drawn to him from the start. Though she knows he is the type of guy good girls stayed away from, it seems he is always saving her life, and the attraction was inevitable. Upon meeting the brothers, strange things begin to happen. When she accidentally kills one of the brothers, it throws her life into turmoil, as they search to find the answers. Implausibly, she gets caught up in a world of the decedents of ancient gods, all who have super powers. Not only is her discovery difficult to accept, evil beings are after her. Running out of time and running for her life, she must unravel a mystery. What do they want from her? Forced into a battle set into motion long before she was born, will she find the answers, or will she die trying? Teaser   FromGodsTease   Buy Links

Skylar just wants to have fun visiting her cousin for a few weeks before going off to colleges, but being pulled over by a cop as she gets into town is just the tip of the crazy train of things to happen to her this summer. She quickly becomes pulled into a world she didn't know existed, because all sorts of monsters are after her. Luckily the hottie cop, who wasn't really a cop, knows just what to do to protect her. Can they figure out why everyone is after her, and on top of the constant fear for her life is her developing feelings for Mason, a guy who seems to have an on/off switch when it comes to showing Skylar his feelings.

Skylar is strong and sure of herself when she sees something crazy she is determined to figure out what is going on and won't let anyone tell her what her can and can't know. She also knows when to ask for and accept help.

She's also young and inexperienced when is comes to dating. So through her you get to see her navigate through her feelings and watch as she grows. She's not about to give up her virtue just because someone is showing her attention, and is steadfast about ensuring she's with someone who really wants to be with her.

This story brings myth to life in an exciting new way and it keeps you on your toes wondering just what will happen next. I'm excited to see more of Skylar and the world she is a part of!
