Reviews:

"Mixing numerous references to mythology and classical literature with deft touches of humor and extensive historical details... this intelligent and self-assured debut will compel readers from its outset, and leave them satisfied as it explores universal themes of love, loss and closure." --Publishers Weekly starred review, Click here for full review

"Witty and warm about the classics and about being alive."--Chicago Tribune

"Some readers may think this urban fantasy is the perfect post-Harry Potter fix....More than anything else though it is just a well-written, fun-to-read book." --Pittsburgh Post Gazettte


“'It was just after dusk when the accident happened.' This alluring first sentence grabs readers’ attention, and the compelling story line will hold that interest...Teenagers knowledgeable about mythology and appreciative of sophisticated wordplay will especially enjoy this intricate read.'"

"A literate and luminous retelling of the Orpheus and Eurydice myth...the novel combines classical references to Ovid's Metamophoses with fascinating details about New York City history and landmarks in way that is engaging and often humorous." --School Library Journal with

"This book is a serious page turner and I would recommend it for anyone who likes Greek myths and Sci-Fi....This book has some really funny parts and like another book we’ve read, the Lightning Thief, it puts Greek myths into a modern environment. However, unlike the Lightning Thief where the characters actually encounter the myths, this book is more of a new spin on an old myth. It keeps you going with lots of twists and I really think that it deserves a sequel."
