3.0

I thought this was a nice read. For me it was all about the world building as that is what really drew me in. The mixing of the different Gods from the Biblical and Greek gods was a little confusing. Not that I did not understand the Gods but just felt like they did not blend together as well. I would have preferred one or the other types to be featured. Also, while this book was a fast read, I did feel like it was too fast. Where I did not have much time to process scenes before something else would happen. Sometimes, I would have to go back and reread to have that "ah ha" moment.

I thought Blaine, Josephine, Rose and George all handled being recruited into The M Initiative very well. They accepted what was happening and were ready to help fight. There is a bit of romance between Blaine and Josephine, which I thought the romance did not add anything to the story.

I will say that I did find the latter half of the story to be strong and better. I did find myself more engaged in the second half of the story. I could see teens and young adults may enjoy this book.
