Personal opinion on the book:
When I fist saw the sign-on to read and review this book I knew, from just reading the blurb, that even if I wasn't asked to review it I would read it. The book went from what I like to call a "wattpad cliche" to a completely individual book with an absolutely unique story line. What I mean by saying "wattpad cliche" is that for the first two chapters it had the feel of being a normal love triangle story line. But trust me, this book proved me wrong and quickly changed into an action/adventure story with the perfect amount of romance between the characters. For most of the book I was left guessing what the magical element of the story was about, was it vampires? Werewolves? Ghosts? Nope it just had to turn out to be my absolute all time favorite, (drum roll please) Greek mythology!!!
I am not even kidding, when I found out that the magical element was Greek mythology I freaked out and had to give myself a timeout to calm down...
I HAVE to praise Desni Dantone for the pace at which she wrote this book, I find that sometimes with books like this one, the author rushes and doesn't provide enough of a back story. Or they take too long to establish the story and as a result the book may drag on.
But Desni Dentone was flawless in the pace at which she wrote this book and the way that she ended it has me wishing that I could stop writing this review and go out to buy the next book in the series right now!
Now to the characters in the story, let me firstly say that for the fist time in ages! I haven't immediately picked a ship to backup... Which is so very unlike me.
Desni Dantone! I have you to blame for my lack of loyalty between male characters! Both Alec and Nathan are swoon-worthy and have great personalities, while they are polar opposes they are also both just right for Kris.
Overall, I absolutely LOVED this book and just want to say it was very well written and I adore the Greek mythology intertwined withing the plot.

If you like the Ignited series, I highly recommend the Angel series by L.A. Weatherly. When I read Ignited, certain aspects of it reminded me of Angel. They are both great books and if you are interested, or have already read one of these books, I recommend checking out the other.
