My review:

If this review feels like dejavu, you’d be right. I reviewed it during it’s first release in Feb 2013 here.

Here’s a blurb from the first review:

I have always been hugely fascinated by mythology, angels and mystical things. I’m am always the first to point out the similarities in the hierarchical layout of most religions. This books ties together Egyptian and Greek mythology into the mythology of the Catholic religion.

She has since revamped it and addressed some of the editing issues that were in the first edition. There were no major plot changes. I really do like all the mythological references. The characters are awesome and very well developed. I really like the strong female MCs. It’s still a great plot and well thought out story. I am looking forward to seeing Lataeya grow as a writer and to see what else she has in store for us.
