Book Description: In Hollywood’s underworld of demigods, druids, and ancient bonds, one girl has a dangerous future.
Sage is eighteen, down on her luck, and struggling to survive on the streets of Los Angeles. Everything changes the night she’s invited to a party — one that turns out to be a trap.
Thrust into a magical world hidden within the City of Angels, Sage discovers that she’s the daughter of a Celtic goddess, with powers that are only in their infancy. Now that she is of age, she’s asked to pledge her service to one of the five deities, all keen on winning her favor by any means possible. She has to admit that she’s tempted — especially when this new life comes with spells, Hollywood glam, and a bodyguard with secrets of his own. Not to mention a prince whose proposal could boost her rank in the Otherworld.
As loyalties shift, and as the two men vie for her attention, Sage tries to figure out who to trust in a realm she doesn’t understand. One thing’s for sure: the trap she’s in has bigger claws than she thought. And it’s going to take a lot more than magic for this Celtic demigoddess to make it out alive.
I received this book as an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
I thought when I read the description for this book it sounded intriguing so I was excited to get a chance to read it. At first it was a little hard to get into, I felt it was a little too silly in my mind. One character seemed a lot like the crazy forest guy from The Hobbit and some other characters that seemed a lot like they were just taken from other stories. So on that front I just wanted something more original from those characters.
However, I thought the plot was different and was a fun concept. I thought the story flowed pretty nicely and it kept going. I liked that there were a few surprises here and there that you weren’t expecting. I liked that the romance wasn’t the main focus but was still there and wasn’t quite the typical love triangle you usually see.
The characters were pretty good, I liked the main character, but I didn’t love her I wasn’t really rooting for her. I did think she had a nice sarcastic sass to her that was fun when played off the other characters. I thought the other characters were good and that you got to know a bit of background on each, which I like because then you feel more connected.
I am interested in seeing what happens with the story, I wasn’t expecting it to end where it did. It provided a nice cliff hanger with something you didn’t really see coming and you want to know how the heck that is going to play out in the rest of the series. I will just have to wait and see.
Book Rating: 3.5 out of 5 Stars
