Biographie:
as far as they knew, all the oracles had been wiped out during their fall from godhood centuries ago. When a deadly force begins hunting her family, Artemis must reclaim the huntress she once was while Alex confronts her curse to uncover the truth behind the killings. But in the aftermath of the most devastating strike yet, Alex and Artemis are thrust into a dangerous web of ancient secrets, ruthless assassins, mysterious cults, and shattering revelations that leave no one unscathed. Where Madness Lies is a fresh and electrifying contemporary mythological thriller, with fierce but flawed heroines, found family, a hint of romance, and a pantheon of delicious characters. Perfect for fans of American Gods, Ninth House, and adults craving a darker, deadlier take on Percy Jackson & the Olympians.

The story telling, world building, and characters are all outstanding and it is truly a story that locks you in and keeps you there. I started reading at 8pm on a Tuesday and before I knew it the clock said 2am...
