The book really makes you think about the present day world. They do a very good job proving the point that the gods are still real. It makes you feel like you are right there with the character. The only bad part of the book is that it ends too fast and you wish it would just go on. This book automatically hooks the reader. The author begins by warning\, "If you're a normal kid, reading this because you think it's fiction, great. Read on. I envy you for being able to believe that none of this ever happened. But if you recognize yourself in these pages - if you feel something stirring inside - stop reading immediately. You might be one of us. And once you know that, it's only a matter of time before they sense it too, and they'll come for you. Don't say I didn't warn you" (1). The main characters are teens so it is easy for us to relate to them. The story also takes place all of the United States so we sometimes know where they are and understand it. This book is recommended for people of all ages that enjoy action-adventure-fantasy books.
