This book was an unexpected treat with a fantastic storyline and characters that are highly likeable. I very much enjoyed this book and would recommend it to anyone.

The main character is jake, a teenage boy attending university to get away from his dangerous family after they sacrificed his best friend in an attempt to invoke an appocolyptical event to bring the 'younger gods' into the earth. He is doing well at university until killings start happening in their local area and he suspects his family is behind it.

The most noteworthy secondary characters are Carter and Laroux. Carter is Jake's roommate who turns out to be a lot more than expected helping Jake in his mission. And Laroux is a girl who's mother used to be involved in the acult and who has taken over her mothers shop which by default lands her into the troubles that Jake and Carter are attending to.

The storyline is original and unlike anything I've read before and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The pacing was good, I look forward to reading the other books in the series and I will be interested to know where the story can go from the end of that book.

4 stars a great read
