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

MY REVIEW
5 *WINK* READ

I finally got to dive into this book and I was not disappointed. From Gods had a very Ruby Blue/Julie Cassar feel to it and I effin' love her so, naturally, I loved this book as well.
 
As with any first book in a series there is always that period of building up a back story and giving the reader some history. I often find myself wanting to skip introductions and get to the good stuff, but I enjoyed reading about Skylar, her relationship with her cousin and their introduction to the Grand Brothers. Which, by the way, are very handsome and charming. I would like to stake my own claim on Mason. There is just something about a man with walls built up around their emotions that I find irresistible and challenging. 
 
I found the approach unique when it comes to the paranormal genre. This is the first book I have read that had a direct link to Greek mythology and the possibility of how it would continue in present times. I enjoyed visualizing the world Mary created in this book and the suspense was amazing.
 
Although this can be read as stand alone there is a bit of a "OMG" moment in the epilogue that leaves us with an itch to read more! I highly suggest you grab a copy and start reading it today!
