She's lost her home and the man she loves. A cult hungry for ancient power has kidnapped her father and targeted her friends. To save them, Selene must face the past she's been running from - a past that stretches back millennia, to when the faithful called her Huntress.
Moon Goddess. With the pantheon at her side, Selene must journey back to the seat of her immortal power: from the streets of Rome and the temples of Athens - to the heights of Mount Olympus itself. Olympus Bound 4 books in series. The Immortals Publisher's Summary.
Manhattan has many secrets. Believing it best for him, she allowed Theo to believe she died in the effort. She mourns his absence and the deaths of her siblings while remaining focused on finding Saturn and ending his threat once and for all.
Theo mourns Selene desperately. He researches ancient rituals in the hopes of resurrecting her. They will meet again and it will be painful for both of them; he feels betrayed and she Six months have passed since Selene and her friends thwarted Saturn's ritual on the Statue of Liberty. They will meet again and it will be painful for both of them; he feels betrayed and she realizes that she didn't do him any favors.
As with the other two books, however, there's a larger story in play. Saturn has Zeus and he's planning to sacrifice him. Selene and the remaining gods gather at Mount Olympus for the first time in centuries. This is an outstanding trilogy. Brodsky merges religion, mythology, ancient mysteries, and science into an insightful and compelling storyline.
Her characters are layered and utterly believable. We meet Athena in this book and I loved the story Brodsky created for her. I admit that I thought it was best for Theo and Selene to part in the second book. He's a mortal and she's a goddess -- even if she wasn't carrying millennia of baggage, age will come between them sooner rather than later. Ruth seemed a better fit for Theo and Flint aka Hephaestus seemed a better fit for Selene. Love is not logical, however.
Brodsky has convinced me that Theo and Selene belong together. I highly recommend this trilogy.

Theo, still in the dark that Selene is still alive, is trying to research ways to get her back from the Underworld. More Olympians, more twists, and an epic battle between gods that occurs on the Brooklyn Bridge.
Well, maybe not quite as epic as I had hoped, but still pretty good. I thought the battle of the gods beyond the portal was better. That's right, two battles betw Selene's on the hunt for Saturn, who has captured her father and is planning to kill him in order to usher in the Last Age. That's right, two battles between the gods. A pretty good ending for this series. There were a few things that could have been better Artemis isn't really Artemis, but just a more godlike Selene.
Which isn't how it was with most of the other Olympians. And there's some other stuff like gods in the Underworld that I'm amazed no one ever seemed to talk about before Hermes, at least, should have known about some of these guys, since he delivers souls to the Underworld.
Jan 25, Vanessa rated it liked it Shelves: gods-demi-gods , greek-mythology , adventure , action , adult , mythology. Not as good as the second one but a decent read. I think one of the problems with this one is that it tries to do too much. Sometimes simpler is better. The first two books had a simple plot but it was interesting and captivating and the twist at the end of the second book was good.
This one seemed like it was trying to top that by adding even more of a crazy twist, and I don't think it worked out that well. The ending felt dragged and rushed at the same time, which is weird. It's like it wasn't Not as good as the second one but a decent read. It's like it wasn't sure where it wanted to end so just when it seems like things are wrapping up you get a "just kidding, there's actually more, and a new twist too. While this book does have a lot of action, there are quite a bit of slow parts in it as well.
I still can't stand Selene and Theo's relationship. She's not as abusive to Theo in this one but they are both codependent as hell. They're super annoying. Overall I liked this series, but the first 2 books were much stronger.
Oct 21, Samuel Lubell rated it really liked it Shelves: fantasy , library. This is by far the best book in the trilogy. It has a completely different story from the first book unlike the second book and is better written than the first one. Artemis, also known by the mortal name of Selene has faked her death so Theodore Schultz, who is in love with her, doesn't keep risking his life by interfering in the doings of the Gods. She is searching for Zeus, who has been captured by Kronos who has mixed his myths with those of Jesus.
Meanwhile Theodore, believing Selene to b This is by far the best book in the trilogy. Meanwhile Theodore, believing Selene to be dead, is investigating myths of Orpheus in the Underworld to return her to life. There's a nice twist that completely changes what the reader thinks is going on and some interesting science that actually fits the fantasy.
Dec 24, Mere rated it it was ok Shelves: reviewed. I really didn't like this book as much as I liked the two previous ones. It also wasn't as interesting. I wish that she had not continued the last plot into this book -- the first books plot was far more intriguing than the past two, to be honest.
So while I figured that this one was going to be a continuation, I wish that it had been done better. I still mostly liked all the characters, even though I didn't particularly like the plot I really didn't like this book as much as I liked the two previous ones.
I still mostly liked all the characters, even though I didn't particularly like the plot in this one. Brodsky's writing was still very good, and it was wonderfully written -- and that is why it got a solid two stars. It wasn't very memorable in the end, so I don't have a lot to say about it, positive or negative aside from the two things listed above.
It was simply decent. Apr 01, Lita Acevedo rated it really liked it. The conclusion of the Olympus Bound series was a good read. I did find myself getting confused from time to time as the different names of the characters were used interchangeably during the later half of the book, but otherwise it was fine. I guess when you live for thousands of years you need to change your name from time to time, especially when your name is Eros, Athena, or Aphrodite, etc.
It was easier when the author used the god's original names to keep track of who was who. The last grea The conclusion of the Olympus Bound series was a good read. The last great battle was epic and I feel the author was very talented in her ability to describe what was happening without too much gore. Overall, the series is a very good one and one I would recommend. Jun 29, Kimberley rated it really liked it.
I really enjoyed this last book. It has made me interested in reading other books about Greek Mythology. I did get a little annoyed when certain parts of the plot reminded me of the plot of Twilight, but the majority of the story is unique enough to keep you interested. Artemis became much more likeable as the story progressed. Once I did a little research on her, I realized that her character is pretty close to that of the Greek goddess: quick to anger, independent, and a bit of a badass.
The a I really enjoyed this last book. The anger part got a bit tiresome in the first book, but she eventually softens a bit and becomes a little more "human" and easier to relate to. Mar 25, Vicki rated it really liked it. What a well written, well researched book. They are usually too cheesy or weird for me to consider enjoyable. This series though blows those books out of the water. Everything is so perfectly tied into our world and history that it just naturally seem like it could be true.
Jordanna also does an excellent job with strong female characters. If you love greek myths, science, history, and even a bit of love than this What a well written, well researched book.
