Episode 3: Mafia Gods: The Curse of Ra

by Cleo Fox

Never ending darkness. It swallowed me whole. Cold and unforgiving. Nothing before it.

Then a light shone through, piercing my being, and I came to be. Snow and TJ, my first memory that made the darkness slink away. He's the light I never knew existed. And even though he won't ever admit it, I think he needed me, too.

Twenty-years later, we had jobs and a place to live. We work for the local mafia, which puts the skills we learned on the street to good use. Or at least it would if our boss would let us do more than shake down something tougher than the boneless, greasy con-men we normally got.

But everything changes the night we meet a god and I unwittingly gain his attention. My relationship with TJ is alerted forever, and other mafia bosses move in on our territory: Chronos, twin brothers Hades and Anubis, and the ever powerful Ra.

Our boss Janus isn't happy, and neither am I. The darkness that holds my past has begun to let go, and these gods are a part of that. But do I want to know the truth of who and what I am?

Ra has arrived and he’s not pleased. However, he oversteps and now Min is the one they should fear. She has no idea what her memory flashes mean or why these gods all seem so interested in her. That doesn’t matter because gods or not, no one messes with the man she loves more than any other on Earth.
This may be the most creative serial ever. Each snippet we get is so crammed full of story. Past information, present actions, future questions with a fun dose of humor tossed in. Ra certainly knows how to make an entrance and how to piss off a girl. And Min is no ordinary girl in any sense of the word. Her memories are becoming clearer and more revealing. Her true self is slowly being exposed. It’s exciting. I loved this segment from beginning to TJ’s POV. (I am all in favor of a god POV too). Can’t wait to see what’s next.

Go, Min! and Poor TJ. Love the additional glimpses of Min's history and intrigued by the origin story - definitely a new take on the creation of the gods. Will definitely keep reading.

I love these short stories and always look forward to the next. Min is starting to remember her past now and but she’s not how she use to be. With TJ stuck she’s doing everything she can to save him herself. Can’t wait for book 4 to come out.
