Medusa
Vain and a bit foolish, Medusa landed herself in trouble with the goddess Athena, leading to a curse so bad, she had to live far away from civilization. In exile, Medusa learned magic from Hecate, and made friends with the Gorgons, with whom she lived and hunted anyone who meant them harm.
Then Perseus came along on a quest to cut off Medusa's head; and, with the help of the gods, was successful.
But Medusa had an ace up her sleeve.
Millennia later, Medusa is alive, immortal, and living her best life, until someone sends Perseus back from the dead to kill her. Again.
Together with her friend, Kaan, they discover that trouble was brewing on Olympus, and Medusa might be the deciding factor in how the situation ends.

Medusa is a story that hasn’t been done yet, but feels like it should have. The concept is wonderful and I commend N.G. Gar for coming up with it. I have always been fascinated with Greek gods and goddesses,and this book greatly increased that fascination. I found the characters to be wonderful and well rounded. The way N.J. Gar made you care for the villains was amazing, and I personally hardly end up caring for most villains. I loved how the book gave the backstory of Medusa. Most people just know who she is, however this book took a whole new turn. It was evident that this book was clearly thought out. It was truly lovely. If you are someone who loves Ancient Greece or the Greek Gods like I do, I would highly recommend this book, for it truly is amazing.

I've always loved N.J Gar. He stories are so full of life and they are told the way no one else does it.

I have never thought of Greek mythology in this manner. I found it very exhilarating. Medusa as a champion and heroine, an unusual choice. Then to tie it into today's world, magnificent!

Well, I wrote the book, and I am just proud of the fact that I could get it up to 40,000 words!
