The Other Witch Named Hermione
As the daughter of a Spartan king, firstborn of Helen of Troy, and granddaughter of Zeus, Hermione has spent nearly three thousand years getting in and out of a lot of trouble. It’s something of a family tradition. Now, after being released from the Inferno after a century-spanning punishment, she just wants to keep her head down, do some good deeds until probation is over, and maybe rock out a bit on open mic night.
But sometimes a witch just can’t win.
Hermione was born to get blood pumping. Good thing, too—when her next good deed accidentally releases hell up on the world, she’ll find herself going up against a gang of pissed off centaurs, bunny rabbit bouncers, her werewolf ex-husband, the Round Table of lore, helicopter moms, a demon or three, and perhaps a slightly bloodthirsty Joan of Arc. And it’s next to impossible to find a good drummer, to boot.
To keep the world from ending she needs to partner up with her probationary officer, an Egyptian panther deity named Bagh who sounds like Lance Reddick, and Sawyer, a flirtatious lumberjack with a secret origin who may or may not be, yknow, real.
From the red light district of Amsterdam to the cherry blossoms of Tokyo University, diving headfirst between this reality and the next, sometimes all a semi-demigoddess can rely on is a pair of magical underwear and a flaming middle finger.

This is a fantastic tale that takes you from ancient Mt. Olympus all the way through to present (future?) times, on a wild ride that will leave you covered with blood, fur, feathers and bits of pop culture Easter eggs. Hermione is the heroine of the tale, trying to accomplish some good deeds with the help of a chauffeur/parole officer named Bagh, a hot human named Sawyer, and a whole host of characters from all the genres. I haven't enjoyed a story this much since Clive Barker wrote the Books of Abarat and I can't give you any spoilers because I'm trying not to finish! Ser Kraiggory is a great storyteller; his twists and turns and subplots will keep your head on the swivel. Enjoy the ride!

The internal monologue persona of the female main character has sass and wit with lots of pop culture references. It’s cute and even made me smirk a few times.
This is more of an action adventure than anything - but it does have a few spicier spots. Characters collided and plot twists occurred. Generally it was entertaining to read. I knew some of the mythology but not all of it. I kinda liked that. I still have some rabbit holes to go down. (Ha!)
The female main character had an interesting perspective being over 3k years old. And a long list of enemies!
I’d recommend reading this story. It’s stand alone, it’s fun to read. Fast paced and clever. I had fun reading it.
