WrensReads Review:
So I think I understand this a little more. There are suppose to be only twelve gods in a cycle, and each one is harder than the previous one to find. The only reason I knocked out a star is because I am still a little confused on who is who and what.
I need a guide book to keep up with who is who.
I also think these gods are based off of Greek mythology, at least a little. For example, I believe these three are knock offs of The Fates.
Also, in case you were wondering, everything is still like really pretty. And this one had so much more colors because I’m pretty sure everyone was doing acid at one point and everyone was neon and super cool looking.
Baal drives around in this beauty and he is kind of stalking our main girl now. That was a turn of events.
Laura is still trying to figure out what/who she is or if she is anyone besides her normal self, mourning the loss of her friend Lucifer, trying to figure out who the murder is, and also just struggling with the biggest problem of all: teenage moods. Main does she have it bad. She is so depressed and I just wanted to hug her.
We meet some of the other gods, we do some acid, and we get a big giant cliff hanger (which seems to be the style of this story). And let me tell you, it’s bangin’. #toosoon?
