Passion doesn’t always follow the rules of fate…
Raised by the Fates, Ambrosia, the daughter of Medusa, has spent her life preparing for the day when she would fulfill her destiny and avenge her mother’s murder. But when a man comes forward claiming to be the spawn of Medusa, Ambrosia’s plan becomes a lot more complicated.

Working as a prostitute, she finds Perseus, the man who took her mother’s head. Not realizing who she is, he tells Ambrosia that Medusa is still alive and that he’s on a quest to finish what he started twenty-three years ago. Needing to find the mother she’s never met, Ambrosia convinces Perseus to let her help, and together they discover the secrets that will unseal the cave that has kept her mother captive. But Perseus proves to be different than the monster Ambrosia has always envisioned him to be, and she finds herself needing him, craving his touch. But how can the daughter of Medusa love the man who made her an orphan for twenty-three years, and who kept her from the mother she never met?

A book full of deception, seduction, lies, and love. Adventure and twists around every corner, I really enjoyed every bit of this new spin on the tale of Medusa. This was one of those book that once you start you couldn't put it down.

Medusa’s daughter, was raised training for the day she would avenge the curse and beheading of her mother. As she feels closer to that day, she decides to put all of her plans into action. Starting with her life style choices to put herself in the path of Perseus. She is the epitome of a woman scorned.

Perseus is a warrior unmatched. He past is his own and he doesn’t answer to anyone. His secrets are pain filled and lonely. Perseus is a man who shoulders everything alone. As the warrior who beheaded Medusa his reputation is widely known, but does anyone know his true reasons behind that conquest?

This was a fantastic story filled with Greek Gods & Goddesses, mythological creatures, and lets not forget the adventure, action and romance within this story. I love mythology and when I can I find a book that can keep me drawn to the pages I fall in love. I love the flow of this book and the characters make this an easy read.

Mary Bernsen is a southwest Florida native currently living in Punta Gorda with her two beautiful children and a third, much larger child that she affectionately calls husband. She is a stay-at-home mother and spends her days creating characters on the good side of twenty-five because she is in serious denial about the fact that she is now on the bad side of it. She has a passion for fantasy of any kind and she reviews every book she reads on her blog Read It Write. If she isn't having conversations with the friends in her head, you can usually find her clipping coupons or out on the boat enjoying the muddy waters of Peace River (as long as it isn't below 80 degrees).
