Forgotten Ones
Librarian's note: Alternate cover edition of ASIN B00G0NSDQE.
The ancient gods lost the battle, and monotheism spread across the globe, forcing some into hiding, and others into a deep sleep.
Lost and forgotten in time, and unable to die, the immortal gods had to choose new paths. Some slept, letting time forge on without them. Some learned to prosper on the meager worship of a few adherents. Still others became dark brooding shadows of what they once were, obsessed with regaining their former glory.
The goddesses of fate, Clotho, Lachesis, and Atropos, chose a different path. They gave up some of their divinity, choosing to reincarnate rather then waste away in their godly bodies. By working with the Vatican to capture the dangerous god-lings, they shift the balance of power, letting man make the world his own, unhindered.
But one of the ancient gods has awoken from his slumbers, and he knows just enough about the Fates to remain hidden from their sight. And just enough about the world of man to create chaos in his wake.
To trap the god-ling before he regains his strength, the Fates have to do something they haven’t done in centuries. They must tap into the divine power that once made them a force even gods feared. But at what cost? And what will their keepers do when the Fates remember their true strength?

Forgotten Ones is about the three fates living in modern times. For those unfamiliar, the three fates are commonly shown as three old women who share a single eye. One can see the past, one can see the future and one can change the present. This book takes place in modern times, when the three fates are constantly being reincarnated in new, mortal bodies each time they die. The fates are fighting the other ancient gods and trying to protect humans.
The book follows Maylin and Jadina. Maylin has just been told a few months before that she's the fate of the present. Jadina, the fate of the past is already a fighter for the Vatican against the ancient gods. She's trying to break in Maylin, when people start to disappear. They know that an ancient god is behind it, but they don't know who.
The book is an extremely original take on ancient myths of Greek and Roman gods. Crissy Moss is an excellent writer and can really suck you into the story. I enjoyed the book from beginning to end.
I only had two problems with the book. It can be quite slow in places. There's a lot of talking in order to fill you in about what's happening. There are also quite a lot of spelling and grammar errors. If those kind of things bother you, you might find the book a little less enjoyable. If you don't care about grammar as much, you'll be in for a fun, adventuresome ride.
