My thoughts: 

I loved this story!  I was hooked from the start.  It's an "I don't want to put it down until the end, I can sleep tomorrow!" kind of book that leaves you looking for the sequel so you can spend more time with the characters.  If you haven't read this one - GO GET IT! 

Sherry Ficklin created fantastic characters.  Phoenix is the woman we all want to be, Chris is the man we all want to love, and Grace is that teenager that possesses all the fire we want our kids to have!  Lilith is the bad guy we all love to hate and her minions are the kind of blind evil who’s death’s we wait for and cheer about!  I was thrilled with the addition of the gods and the personalities that each one has, Hermes is a stitch!  There are too many characters to talk about them all.   So, instead of telling you more about each great character, let me just say that she builds characters that are easy to invest in.  She puts these incredible characters into wonderfully descriptive settings with details that make both the human world and the Fae world come alive for the reader.  

I can't wait for book two, I wish it was already out so I didn't have to wait!  I am excited that there will be a book three as well, because then I know I have a chance to get to know more of the characters than I have already gotten to meet.  

My favorite quote:  

"It takes no courage  at all to do the easy thing. It takes a great deal to do the right thing."
