Meg

by Halston Reed, Fahmi Fauzi (Illustrator)

Other than the occasional gallery exhibit or visit from her sisters, Meghan Sideris spends most days alone in her NYC apartment with a paintbrush and a bottle of vodka. Until one day when she hears her neighbor, Jonathan, cry out for help. She finds him in his apartment–bleeding to death–the victim of a vicious attack. Feeling a strange connection to him, she ignores her base instincts and saves his life. Fighting visions of the past and future and her feelings toward him, Meg finds herself in the middle of a dark conspiracy surrounding Jonathan and an ancient Greek sword. With the help of her family, she fights to stay alive and protect him, all the while trying to stop a thousand-year-old prophecy from being fulfilled and unleashing an unspeakable evil on the Mortal Realm.

Meg, meets Jonathon as he is dying. Meg makes the decision to help save him. And now, the world needs them to save it.

This is the first book in the series. It reminds me of a grown up version of Percy Jackson. It was a quick read. I can’t wait for the next one!
