Plot And Story Line

 Whew, what a story this turned out to be. Thanks to Alyssa over at Eater of Books Blog. I truly admired everything about this book, and I love a solid fantasy themed romance and Amanda Brouchet definitely delivered where this book is concerned. Its written in first POV, which isn't my favorite to read but this definitely worked for me. This story mixes elements of a fantasy world and mytholgy involving the Greeks. I loved this twist and when I first heard about this book, I wasn't sure how you could mix these two elements successfully, but this author whammed her way through it and wrote a story to remember!! We have our heroine, which its in her POV. I liked seeing this character, her passion and what a fighter she is. Our hero is such a alpha male and I loved him. In fact, I think I liked him way more than all the other characters combined. He has a very strong personality, but he sticks with Cat even when she is quite mean to him at times. I understood the reasons behind it, but I did feel like she goes to far and a bit too violent against him for my taste. Once she meets his family, and their relationship takes a delightful turn, she does tone it down a bit but I still had issues with how she handled certain situations. Now the family of Griffin are all quite intriguing, but the one I loved the most was the youngest sister. She is still a teenager, but her excitment for life was so contagious. I did love the magical themes that we are introduced here. Cat is a woman of power, and I did love seeing how she uses her gifts. Griffin and Cat make a powerful couple (once they overcome certain hurdles in their relationship) and I truly felt an emotional connection to these two.
