After 4 years of working at a water district in San Diego, and numerous random careers prior, life is pointing me in a new direction...and I'm not complaining. After the end of the month I will officially be a stay at home author, watching over and caring for my "book babies" (as there are no real babies yet to care for...but soon maybe).

Description:
Excerpt from Oppression (Children of the Gods #1)
Elyse knows what it means to keep a secret. She's been keeping secrets her whole life. Two, actually. First, that she ages five times slower than the average person, so that while she looks eighteen years old, she's closer to eighty. Second, that her blood has a mysterious power to heal. For Elyse, these things don't make her special. They make life dangerous.

Loved this book! Engaging characters, compelling plot. I had a hard time putting this one down. Definitely worth the read. Her characters are very believable and she does some interesting twists to the classic Greek mythos.

I really enjoyed this book; the characters were likable, the plot did not move too slow, and there was just enough action and romance to keep me on my toes. I look forward to the second book in this series.
