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 descendants 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 2:
After Skylar rang up a
bill, she was bored standing behind the register. To keep herself busy, she
turned to dust the counter behind her. She twitched when the sound of someone
clearing his throat startled her.
“Umm…hi…sorry…how can I
help you?” she said, turning to see something black. She looked up. When she
noted who he was, she froze, and wanted to hide.
“I’d like to pay the
bill.” His tone was low and soft as he handed the slip to her. The same, sexy
tone went straight to her stomach, causing a tingling sensation.
“Sure…of course.” She
paused while looking at the screen. Feeling the weight of his stare, she
suddenly forgot what to do as warmth flushed to her face. What do I push first? Finally, it all came back to her. “That’ll be
twenty dollars and twenty-five cents.”
When he handed her the
exact change, his hand brushed against hers. She gasped inwardly from the mere
touch of his skin. Then a millisecond later, she jerked back from the shock he
had just given her, sending electricity down her spine. “Ouch.” Startled, she
looked right at him.
Flinching in the same way
as her, he frowned, looking baffled and then annoyed. “I’m sorry,” he murmured
under his breath, and curled in his fingers to make a fist.
“That’s okay,” she
accepted and lit a small, quick grin. After all, it was an accident, though she
couldn’t understand how it had happened. The diner had tile floors, not carpet,
and it wasn’t windy. It was the hottest month of the summer. But what did she
know about these things, anyway?
From the corner of her
eye, she saw Nick stand, looking their way and honing in on their conversation.
He grinned slyly then sat back down. Did
he find Mason shocking me amusing?
My Review
From Gods takes mythology to a whole new level of imagination with its incredible plot and amazing characters. Its full of hotness that you never want to end!
Who doesn't love Greek mythology?
So, I am not going to give out any more information in my review than what the Synopsis and teaser provides. However, I will tell you how much this story rocked with all the action, hot guys, and mystery of the demi gods.
From Gods pulls you into the story with a force of gravity that can not be denied. It possesses all the elements of a great young adult novel..adventure, mystery, mythology, and romance. It's magnetism will hold your interest from the first to the very last sentence. The characters are charismatic, each with individual personalities. The storyline is unique and adventurous with twists and turns throughout the narrative plot. And I haven't even mentioned Mason. Yeah, Mason and his hot brothers... Let's just say that Michael Crossroads Saga) has some competition now for book boyfriend..however, not only with the action and intense story, there's humor and fun thrown in as well. It's the whole package.
Bio:
Mary Ting resides in Southern California with
her husband and two children. She enjoys oil painting and making jewelry.
Writing her first novel, Crossroads Saga, happened by chance. It was a way to
grieve the death of her beloved grandmother, and inspired by a dream she once
had as a young girl. When she started reading new adult novels, she fell in
love with the genre. It was the reason she had to write one-Something Great.
Why the pen name, M Clarke? She tours with Magic Johnson Foundation to promote
literacy and her children's chapter book-No Bullies Allowed.
