It was definitely giving Percy Jackson. I had a blast reading this and I think teens to adults would like this

I recently read “Of Blood and Lightning” by Micki Janae with my teenage daughter, and we both really enjoyed it. The books unique blend of Greek mythology and contemporary issues, along with its diverse cast of characters, kept us thoroughly engaged. The book does start off with a bit of a slow pace but it quickly picks up and then you are in for a fun ride, We found the story of Ophelia and her friends, who inherit the powers of ancient gods, both captivating and surprisingly relatable. The book’s detailed world-building and compelling storyline made it a standout read. It’s a fantastic choice for anyone who loves mythology with a modern twist and appreciates strong, diverse characters.

Thanks to Net Galley for this ARC.

Well, as soon as j saw it was a mythology theme book, I had to have a nose. Especially when it's based on Greek mythology.
To be honest, the first chapter wasn't grabbing me, but I thought I would push on, and I'm glad I did.

If I had to describe this book, I would say it's definitely a Percy Jackson ish vibe but more late teen based. There's no camp but is based around high school, and houses are involved. Don't expect the intervention of God's as they are mostly gone. I love the way other parts of Greek mythology have been involved, like the old gods before the Olympians and even some mythological creatures. The story was fast flowing, and at one point,I didn't want to put this book down. For a debt novel, this book was brilliant. I don't like to give too much away when reviewing books, but I think the author got the balance of of modern day and mythology just about right.

If I had to give it any negative input, I would say a list of who and what the houses are as a glossary as at times I was confused at who and why these houses existed. Also, i think the cover of the book needs to be improved. I know you should judge a book by its cover, but unfortunately, it's jot just the title of the book that grabs me and draws me in.

From the way the book ended, there must be more to come. I'm not sure if it will be a dualogy or more. I am looking forward to continuing this adventure.

I would definitely recommend this for the older teens. Well done on such a great book.

This uses the Greek mythology element perfectly, I was engaged with the story and how everything worked with the world and characters. The characters had a unique feel to this and enjoyed the overall story being told with them. Micki Janae has a great writing style and was glad I was able to read this.
