Publisher Description
Dreams. They're only dreams. Strange, brutal dreams, straight off the pages of an ancient Greek mythology book. That's what Mandy Burkhardt tells herself, stocking shelves at the Occult Bookstore in Chicago.
Her boss senses more. He feels something. An awakening. The prophecy. The others can, too, even if they can't quite put a finger on it.
As the hidden power inside of her grows, an ancient spell comes to life, compelling her back to her rightful time and place: ancient Greece, a barbaric era of witches and gods, gorgons and oracles.
Witnessed by new friend, Ryan Taylor, Mandy's disappearances can no longer be denied. Together, they try to discover what's happening to her and why but in the process become targets in a deadly and sinister plot.
Caged, trussed, shackled and hunted, Mandy must come to terms with her past and fight for her future in a bloody battle with even more at stake than she knows.
Customer Reviews
Just bad.
I only read about 100 pages, but I think I’ve seen enough.
First of all, the dialogue. Oh god, the dialogue. Sorry, who talks like this?! The dialogue is so stiff and so cringy that I tune out very quickly every time I decided to read this book again. That is my main problem with the book, but the characters and also bad, especially the main character, I can’t stand her(and don’t get me started on the male love interest) This book is also kinda racist?? Like the author uses the G slur which completely caught me off guard, like, I thought everyone knows we shouldn’t be saying that word. I stopped reading this when the main characters do it in a public library(yes, that really happens)
Don’t read this book if you want to keep your sanity!
