We're hooked and had to share!
After "Twilight" I was in desperate need of a new series. Oddly enough, the recommendation for this book series came from Stephanie Meyer's herself!
THE PREMISE
What if the gods of Olympus were alive in the 21st Century?
What if they still fell in love with mortals and had children who might become great heroes — like Theseus, Jason and Hercules?
These books are extremely well-written, fast-paced, and funny! They have won numerous book awards and rightly so! Sam and I love the action-packed story lines and also appreciate the opportunity to brush up on our Greek Mythology!
Check them out at the Roseville Public Libraries.
Happy Reading!
