The Heart.
The God of Love seeks a bride who is pure in heart and full
of life—full of soul. Instead of a woman, he finds a child with laughter in her
heart. Waiting for her to grow up, he befriends her, pretending to be nothing
more than a blue-eyed boy with wild, tangled hair.
Left on the temple doorstep, a young girl turns the lives of
the priestesses upside down…until one summer before her eighteenth birthday, a
traveling oracle tells her she is to marry a stranger in a foreign land.
The Nightmare.
An ancient demon—half man, half snake—wants to destroy
anything the gods love. When she was a child, he haunted her dreams, but now he
stalks her across the countryside. If he catches her, he’ll devour her.
This was a fun find on my kindle that turned out much better
than I expected. It has a lot of the
tone of classical mythology, I got stuck in paralleling it to the Greek
pantheon, but strangely I got a lot of Christian themes within the book as I
read. It was a sweet read, and I really connected with Peaches on a lot of
levels. This is a love story, but it’s
also a story about good and evil and the power one person has to change
everything in their own life and the lives of the people they love. I’d highly recommend it if you enjoy
mythology and fairy tale. It can be compared to certain Christian themes, but I
see them because I’m Christian, so even if you aren’t you can still really
enjoy this book.
I give it a 3.9 out of 5- it’s almost a 4 but not quite!
