"A high quality contemporary fantasy novel that will appeal to a wide range of readers from American Gods to the kids who grew up reading Percy Jackson. The Relentless One, the Bearer of the Bow, the Untamed.....those are only a few of the names Selene DiSilva's answered to over the years. But these days she's content to work in secret, defending the women of Manhattan from the evils of men. She's reclusive, stubborn, and deeply unfriendly to everyone but her dog. But when a woman's mutilated body washes up in Riverside Park wearing a laurel wreath, Selene finds that she can no longer hide in the shadows. As more women are threatened, Selene is forced to embrace the one name she's tried hardest to forget -- Artemis. For who better to follow the killer's tangled trail than the Goddess of the Hunt herself?"--… (meer)

This was a really interesting book. it was kinda slow at times. The gods are turning mortal and someone is killing girls.

Goddess Artemis assumes the Selene DiSilva as her name and adopts Manhattan as her home. While walking her dog one morning, the “former” goddess stumbles upon the body of a young woman washed up the shores of a river. The woman’s body is horribly maimed and wreathed in Laurel.

Additionally, this victim has all the signs of a ritualistic murder and recognizing the how the crime is of significance, Selene vows to seek justice for the young woman. Her investigations lead her to ally with Dr. Theo Schultz, a professor of mythology & classical studies. (

That was an fun read. It was like reading an adventure of Xena in New York City. The pacing of the book is well down. The book doesn't give away the mystery until the right time. When you look back on who the antagonist is the cues were all there. I enjoyed how it set itself up more adventures. My only knock on the book is how the Olympians are tough to care for. I liked Selene but I didn't love Selene. The other protagonist was too much of a Joss Whedon smart ass come to life. Some of the terminology may be tough to read or say but I didn't mind. The mystery was well done and actually kind of scary. I think the author did a very good job for a first book.

I read this book via NetGalley. I thank them for this book. #NetGalley (

This is an urban fantasy, folks. The world is awesome and impeccably researched. Selene is no-nonsense and badass and stubborn, but also realistically cautious and fragile around emotions. The mystery felt fresh and different. The supporting cast was more than stereotypes and woven into the story. There’s a bit of romance, but it’s the slow build I enjoy. It’s a Magical New York™ again, but not in the usual way. And the writing’s the smooth, well-plotted kind that I just lose myself in. I may need to break my rule of not reading within the same series within at least six months, because the next book comes out next month and I might just cave.
