When I first began reading this book I had no idea about the role that Greek mythology would play in the story. I was pleasantly surprised at the way the both Greek mythology and fantasy were woven together to create this story.
Khara has spent most of her life in the Underworld with her adoptive father Hades. One day she is ripped from her home with no warning and left on the streets of Detroit. Khara has some how found herself in the city in which her brothers (unknown to her) have been tasked to keep the balance between the supernatural and the mortals. As Khara begins to help her warrior brothers, everyone quickly realizes that nothing about her is as it seems, and she begins to uncover exactly who she truly is.
At the beginning of this book I found it a bit frustrating that the heroine and main character of this story has little feeling/emotion. As the story progresses you will soon discover just why those lack of emotions are present, though it does make it hard to connect with her character. This book does move at a bit of a slow pace, and might not be for everyone. This book does have a bit of action and suspense, but unfortunately very little romance. The lack of romance for me was quite frustrating, you can feel it sitting right there under the surface but it very rarely ever make an appearance. There are also a couple of sexual encounters during the book, however they are so quickly glossed over that if you aren't paying attention you might miss them.
While I was a bit disappointed at the pace and lack of romance of the book, the idea behind it was intriguing and worth reading. I'll be reading the next book in the series, hoping that I can find the extra bit of something that I've been craving from this story.
