Title: Curse of the Sphinx
Seventeen year-old Hope Nicholas has spent her entire life on the run. But no one is chasing her. In fact, no one even knows she exists. With her mom, she’s traveled from town to town and school to school, barely staying long enough to meet anyone, let alone make friends. And she’ll have to keep it that way. It’s safer.
When her mother is brutally ripped away from her, Hope’s life shatters. Is this the fulfillment of Apollo’s curse, murder from the shadow monsters of the Underworld, or have the demigods finally found her? Orphaned and alone, Hope flees again, but this time there’s no one to teach her who to trust—or how to love.
Set in a universe where mythology is alive and well in the modern world, Curse of the Sphinx irresistibly blends action, suspense and romance.
Review: I really enjoyed this book! It was all the things I loved about Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson and the Olympions series, but instead of being about the demigods, it was more about someone descended from one of the monsters of Greek mythology. I really felt sorry for Hope in every way possible. She lost her mother, her life, and now has to endure the curse on her own. It's just sad to think that she had to go through all of this with no one to guide her in any way. I didn't particularly like the love interest that was introduced because he seemed way too perfect for my taste. I was kind of rooting for Hope not to fall for him, but my wish never came true. All in all, this book was great and I wish for eveyone to read it.
