Booktalk:
Threads That Bind is great for anyone who likes mysteries and Percy Jackson. The premise is that the gods, Greek gods in this case, are long dead but their descendants still live. This story follows Io who is descended from the Fates and is what is known as a cutter. This means that she is the one who cuts the threads of life. She is working as a private investigator and is hired to look into a case where women are being abducted and having their life threads maimed which turns them into wraiths. These blood thirsty wraiths are being let loose to kill at will. She has to team up with Edei, a boy who she shares her own fate thread with and who works for the city's Mob Queen. This book is really fast paced although it does take a few chapters to get going. Once it does, it doesn't stop and it takes you on quite the roller coaster of who-dun-it.
