Synopsis:
Did you just see a flash of lightning across the sky on a
clear sunny day? It’s not from Mother Nature. It is most likely from Mason
Grand, swoon-worthy demigod, one of Zeus’s descendants.
Skylar Rome is supposed to be having the best summer ever
before she heads off to college. Little
did she know, her whole life was about to change while visiting her cousin.
Nearly drowning at the beach due to unknown forces, one of the Grand brothers
she’d just met, Mason, saves her life. Cool, collected, mysterious, and
dangerously good-looking, Skylar is drawn to him from the start. Though she
knows he is the type of guy good girls stayed away from, it seems he is always
saving her life, and the attraction was inevitable.
Upon meeting the brothers, strange things begin to happen.
When she accidentally kills one of the brothers, it throws her life into
turmoil, as they search to find the answers. Implausibly, she gets caught up in
a world of the descendants of ancient gods, all who have super powers. Not only
is her discovery difficult to accept, evil beings are after her. Running out of
time and running for her life, she must unravel a mystery. What do they want
from her? Forced into a battle set into motion long before she was born, will
she find the answers, or will she die trying?
My Review: Mary Ting is one author who never ceases to amaze me with her writing. I first fell in love with her Crossroads Series and now From Gods! This book had me captured from the moment my nook came alive I couldn't put it down I was so captivated by this story. It had every element I could have ever asked for in one book and so very much more. The characters in From Gods will have you electrified to there personalities they just seem to walk right off of the pages and reveal their hearts, minds, bodies, and souls to you never asking for anything in return other than to read their story and so I did. From Gods will have you laughing one minute and wanting to hurt someone or something the next. I won't go any further into detail for fear I will give the story away however, I will share with you to be careful picking up this book as you may be "shocked" by what you find but by all means pick it up you won't be sorry even if it does "zap" you.
5/5
Teaser:
Unexpectedly,
she felt arms cuddling her, carrying her out the door. Immediately, she knew it
was him. Being in Mason’s arms made her speechless, and she didn't want to move
a muscle. He laid her down on a wooden bench and bent down on his knee.
Skylar held her
eyes closed, but opened them slowly when he brushed the strands of her hair
away from her face. Afterward, surprisingly, when his hand slid down tenderly
to her cheek, she felt a slight tingling sensation around the area that he
touched. Whatever it was that she felt definitely came from him. It was like
something between a mild shock and heat, but it wasn't painful; in fact, it
felt pleasurable and soothing, and she didn't understand how he was doing it.
Peering up, she
caught his eyes as they held hers, through space, through time, through her
soul. Sparks flew and some kind of connection Skylar didn't understand erupted
through her. Though she didn't want this feeling, she had no other choice, for
her heart longed to know him even more.
Mason blinked
his eyes, looking frazzled and concerned. “Are you okay?” His tone was softer
than usual.
Anchoring her
trembling hands on the bench, she raised herself up and rested her back against
the wall.
Author Bio:
Mary Ting resides in Southern California with her husband
and two children. She enjoys oil painting and making jewelry. Writing her first
novel, Crossroads Saga, happened by chance. It was a way to grieve the death of
her beloved grandmother, and inspired by a dream she once had as a young girl.
When she started reading new adult novels, she fell in love with the genre. It
was the reason she had to write one-Something Great. Why the pen name, M
Clarke? She tours with Magic Johnson Foundation to promote literacy and her
children's chapter book-No Bullies Allowed.
