Blistered by Deidre Huesmann
4.0
Blistered (A Modern Greek Myth Book 1) by Deidre Huesmann is the first book in the A Modern Greek Myth series that I gave 4 out of 5 stars. This is a fun paranormal read centering around greek mythology. The book is told from the main character's POV.
Azalee is a teenager who has been banned from her home, forbidden from taking a Greek name, cast into an earthly prison, and accused of being a witch. She is cut off from any contact except for the occasional visits from her parents. She longs to escape and walk in the sun, but she is afraid that the Gods would burn her with the sun's rays as punishment for escaping.
Joel has also been banned, and is hellbent on getting Azalee freed. He believes in destiny, and that she IS his destiny. Azalee isn't so sure of their fate, but is up for anything that sets her free. Joel is convinced that he must take Azalee to safety with her people on Mykonos. As the two set out on their journey to Mykonos, they pick up a third person-Niribelle. She is a warrior sent to capture them, but decides to align herself with the teens instead. Azalee and Niribelle seem to clash over everything, Joel included. Will they all make it to Mykonos? Which Joel fall for the warrior's charm and beauty? Can Niribelle be trusted? Read to find out their fate!
This was a great adventurous novel with well developed characters. It was a fast paced read with some surprises and twists. I can't wait to read more from this author!
