In this modern-day "lively re-imagining of classical mythology" (Deborah Harkness), when a string of women are murdered in an ancient pagan ritual, Selene DiSilvia -- known by some as the goddess Artemis -- hears their cries for help and takes up her bow once more.Manhattan has many secrets. Some are older than the city itself.The city sleeps. In the predawn calm, Selene DiSilva finds the body of a young woman washed ashore, gruesomely mutilated and wreathed in laurel. Her ancient rage returns, along with the memory of a promise she made long ago -- when her name was Artemis. Jordanna Max Brodsky's acclaimed debut sets Greek Gods against a modern Manhattan backdrop, creating an unputdownable blend of myth and mystery.

""Percy Jackson" just grew up and these are no longer your teenage-era Greek myths. Not only does this story blend Greek myth with reality, it follows a page-turning murder mystery with slow-burn romance. I ate this book up just like I used to with Riordan's and I was so excited when I realized it was part of a trilogy. Off to find the next one!
NOTE: no explicit sex scenes, but contains many sexual references, descriptions of nudity and graphic violence, with some explicit language throughout."
