Threads That Bind by Kika Hatzopoulou
3.0
mysterious slow-paced

I like the concept of Greek god descendants having certain powers in the modern world but parts were confusing to me. There are supposed "3s" born in families but there was a group called the Nine they were from the same family?

I had high hopes when I found out that Io, an investigator that can see people's "threads", had a fated love and that she would get to work with him and they would fall in love in the meantime, but we never really got that. In the end, we don't even know if he stays alive 🤷‍♀️.

There are also some wraiths... People that have a severed thread (that usually means they die) but are still alive and out to punish people for their crimes. They could have been made to be more scary.

Overall, it was an ok story and I'm glad I read it but not sure if I'll read the next book (since this is titled #1)
