From Gods by Mary Ting

Synopsis:Did you just see a flash of lightning across the sky on a clear sunny day? It’s not from Mother Nature. It is most likely from Mason Grand, swoon-worthy demigod, one of Zeus’s descendants.

Skylar Rome is supposed to be having the best summer ever before she heads off to college. Little did she know, her whole life was about to change while visiting her cousin. Nearly drowning at the beach due to unknown forces, one of the Grand brothers she’d just met, Mason, saves her life. Cool, collected, mysterious, and dangerously good-looking, Skylar is drawn to him from the start. Though she knows he is the type of guy good girls stayed away from, it seems he is always saving her life, and the attraction was inevitable.

Upon meeting the brothers, strange things begin to happen. When she accidentally kills one of the brothers, it throws her life into turmoil, as they search to find the answers. Implausibly, she gets caught up in a world of the decedents of ancient gods, all who have super powers. Not only is her discovery difficult to accept, evil beings are after her. Running out of time and running for her life, she must unravel a mystery. What do they want from her? Forced into a battle set into motion long before she was born, will she find the answers, or will she die trying?



REVIEW:


I won this awesome novel from Mary's one of giveaways.

This is the third book I read from Mary's work. I wish I read this so long ago. But also I'm glad I read now.
This book absolutely hooked all of my brain! Some of people who knows me,know that I really love mythology <3 since I was a little girl. I read so many books about mythology most of them was sucked the story. I don't try the be the mean person I only want to be honest. But I'm here to talk about this book.

From Gods has a amazing entering. I always have weakness for reading a fatherless life.

'' I started to calm down after seeing the beauty of the night, taking in a deep breath. “Is he… dead?” My fists were tight as I prepared for the news. “No, honey. Daddy isn’t dead. It’s just that he’s never coming back. I don’t have a reason to give you.” ''


Skylar about to start college but before that she's gonna spend her summer time with her cousin like always.But This summer Skyler and her cousin Kayla meets two hot boys. Mason and Nik. And this meeting chances everything.
Mason and Nik and their other half brothers is the descendants of the Greek gods.

The big question is Who is Skylar? She can see things like Mason and his brothers. So What is she? Where's her father and Who is he?

I thinks this is the best thing I read in 2014.Entering was so great that I already felt this is a really good book. I'm so curious about what is her descendants? Because the oracle said she's keeper of death. So she could be Hades's daughter or something but Zeus and Posedion only distribute their offsprings without telling Hades.So he was mad when he learn the distribute and that's why he haunting these descendants. But Maybe he distribute his offsprings too.We,fans still don't know but I and every fan so curious about second book :)
