Synopsis: The gods walk among us. Some lurk in the shadows, masquerading as mortals; others embrace their celebrity status, launching careers from Hollywood to Capitol Hill.

One of them just murdered Cairn Delacroix's mother.

As Cairn sifts through the rubble, she uncovers a conspiracy two decades in the making: a cursed island, the fellowship of gods who journeyed there, and the unspeakable act that intertwined their fates. One by one, the members of that voyage are dying, and Cairn's investigations land her in the crosshairs of the rogue goddess responsible.

With the help of Nanook, a polar bear god turned detective, Cairn descends into Boston's underworld of supernatural crime and political aspiration. To avenge her mother and unmask her assassin, she’ll first have to reckon with a gut-wrenching secret that will rewrite the life she thought she knew.

Review: Overall, this was a good book. The character development was good and I loved the romance in this. The book also did well with humor and it did well to integrate grief into its storytelling.

However, I thought that the world building wasn’t well done. The book didn’t really explain events well and the author tossed in a lot of different types of Gods, which doesn’t make a lot of sense. The book was also a bit too slow paced for me and the plot was a bit confusing.

Verdict: It was a solid book.
