Maggie Raynard thought she was your average 16 year old
girl. All that changed one night when her fingers put her
ex-boyfriend in a coma. Of course that is when her mother
decides to tell her that she is a semi-god, descending from
Aphrodite. Since her mother and her grandmother had their
powers binded when they were 17, She didn't think to tell
Maggie, however Maggie is coming into her powers early and
is struggling to keep them under control.
Mac Finnegan, another semi-god has been sent by the council
to watch Maggie and determine if she is a threat and should
be stripped of her memories and powers or killed. But there
is something about Maggie that makes her different from the
other semi-gods that he has tracked down. Its obvious that
no one has bothered to tell her anything about what she is
or the laws for their kind.
Maggie has a crazy attraction to the new guy Mac. One
minute she wants to kiss him, the next she wants to beat him
over the head. When he tells her he can help her, she is
not sure what to think. When he explains to her what
plans the council has for her, she is dead set against being
brought in front of he council to loose her powers, since it
will most likely erase any memory she has of her dad. She
takes Mac head on in his attempts to break her.
I really like Maggie's character. She is the perfect blend
of sassy teenager, but she also has a more compassionate
side. She is concerned about her ailing Grandmother, and
even has gone to visit the boy she put in a coma every week.
Christine O'Neil is a new author for me. I love her take on
Greek Mythology and how her writing style has the reader
thinking that the characters are speaking directly to them
instead of the reader feeling like they are listening to
their internal ramblings. There also wasn't much of a back
story on Maggie or even the Council and what their laws and
such are. I am hoping that as the series continues, the
more the back story will continue to develop.
My name is Maggie Raynard. After sixteen years being just
plain me, suddenly, when I lose my temper, my fingers become
weapons of mass destruction. Turns out I'm a semi-god,
descended from Aphrodite. Sounds cool in theory, but when I
accidentally put my ex-boyfriend in a coma, things go
downhill pretty fast.
Now some new guy named Mac Finnegan has made it his mission
in life to continually piss me off. I'm stuck learning how
to use my new powers while also dealing with regular high
school problems, and with this annoying—and super-hot—guy
all up in my business, I'm about to flip out.
But it gets worse. I just learned there's this watchdog
council of semis who keeps an eye out for any bad apples.
They think I'm the baddest of the bunch and want to take me
out before I do any more damage. My nemesis Mac might turn
out to be my salvation, only he's got secrets of his
own...and they may just kill us both.
