Book Blurb
Then a strange boy--mysterious but irresistible--comes to her town. Paranormal danger follows him everywhere and, the closer Freddy gets to her crush, the weirder her life becomes. She is sucked into a perilous world where myth and legend are real. And the ancient gods are at war with one another.
Freddy finds herself caught between the feuding pantheons. Now she must fight her way home and defeat a ruthless new enemy who will stop at nothing to see Freddy dead.
A fun fantasy adventure with a romantic twist, this book should appeal to fans of butt-kicking female leads and hot guys with a supernatural secret.

Toot's Review by Stacy Sabala
Frederica
Fitzgerald lives with her mom and dad believing she is normal. Unfortunately something is up with her
parents and they are keeping secrets. At
first she is afraid they are divorcing.
Then she wonders maybe there is something more.
After that
she meets Deg. He almost runs her down
with his horse. She is shocked. He completely stands out. She is drawn to him and he is to her. His motives however are not necessarily
honest. He wants help finding his
sister. However he realizes that she
knows nothing about his world. He
decides to stay away but both worlds collide.
Freddy finds out who she really is as the Great Hunt continues. Her shock is acute as secrets come out about
her mother, father and Deg. She is
forced into a world of danger, intrigue and black mail where she is traded to
the underworld.
She has no
control over her life as her father threatens her family to keep her
in-line. Deg wants to help but has no
other choice but to watch everything from the sidelines. Freddy refuses to give in and Deg refuses to
watch. They work together to change the
situation at whatever cost. Freddy has
to sacrifice to save her father and Deg.
This story
was a bit confusing in the beginning. Freddy
had no clue what was going on, so the reader didn’t either. Freddy would think she wanted answers then to
my disappointed she would chicken out.
Her mother was also ridiculous in the sense that if she avoided it, it
would go away. I was not happy with the
immediate messages. You can’t hide from
who you are.
After the
story got started and Freddy figured out what was really going on, she became
an awesome character. She found her
strength and used her head. Of course
she was being manipulated and no one would help her. The author did a great job exposing her fear
and frustration. Her anger at all the
people in her life was front and center.
You couldn’t blame her at all.
Deg was a disappointment for me in the middle of the story. He was a weak character and refused to get
involved as things progressed. I was
disgusted for Freddy. She really only
had herself to count on.
The story
pretty much drove me crazy with the amount of self-centered characters that
refused to care about anyone else. The
ending was a nice tie-up and made up for things that occurred throughout the
story. Finally some of them stepped
up. So I give this book a 3.5 out of 5.
