American Gods meets Watchmen in this mythology-inspired mystery from Karsten Knight, author of the Wildefire trilogy.
 
In a city of gods and mortals, secrets never die.
 
The gods walk among us. Some lurk in the shadows, masquerading as mortals; others embrace their celebrity status,
launching careers from Hollywood to Capitol Hill.
 
One of them just murdered Cairn Delacroix’s mother.
 
As Cairn sifts through the rubble, she uncovers a conspiracy two decades in the making: a cursed island, the fellowship of gods who journeyed there, and the unspeakable act that intertwined their fates. One by one, the members of that voyage are dying, and Cairn’s investigations land her in the crosshairs of the rogue goddess responsible.
 
With the help of Nanook, a polar bear god turned detective, Cairn descends into Boston’s underworld of supernatural crime and political aspiration. To avenge her mother and unmask her assassin, she’ll first have to reckon with a gut-wrenching secret that will rewrite the life she thought she knew.
 

My Thoughts 

I’ve gone through such a non-fiction phase the past couple months which I love, but it was nice to change gears and jump to something completely different than what I’ve been reading as of late. 
 

What I Liked

This book was definitely action-packed and thrilling and never left you bored. The world-building was exciting and such a creative concept.
 
The diversity was a big takeaway for me and something I really love to see in a book. The main character is a lesbian which definitely gave the book some great inclusivity for the LGBTQ community. 
 
It was also great to see strong female characters. I’m always, always a fan of that.
 
I also really appreciated the fact that this was a book about gods that wasn’t your typical Greek mythology.
 

What I Would Have Liked to Be Different

A bit more elaboration on the characters and their development as a whole was needed for me. The adventure, action, and the overall world was fantastic as well as the inclusion of strong female leads and sexuality preferences. However, I would have liked to get to know the characters more.

Overall Thoughts
