Interesting take on mythology. I have never read any Cherie Priest before. I have only heard good things, even if this isn't the one that people recommend. I personally enjoyed it. I think the idea behind taking typical myths and making them your own a really fresh idea on the fantasy story.

The water witch wants to distroy the world. A lesser god of decay and dirt wants to keep it safe. Both create their own destroyer from a mortal girl (cousins). The story winds its way thru the beaches and islands of Florida. You could almost feel the oppressive humidity in the air from the book. I was very satisfied with this quick read.
