Val has never really been normal. She's suffered blackouts, woken with injuries, missing time and no clue what happened. But when she wakes up from one with the cops arresting her for murder, her life changes forever. Her dad comes to the rescue as much as he can. He gets her out until trial but she has to come live with him, his wife and her four sons in this weird community. Now she's focused on new college classes, trying to remember what happened to her best friend and fitting in with her new family. The blackouts are still coming and getting worse. Along with these weird dreams. While she is getting closer to the brothers, there are still secrets pulling them apart. Will she forgive them when the truth comes out? Will they all survive until then?

This is the first book in this new series by Tamara. It's got a very interesting concept. I like the mythology. We have Gods, Demigods and witches. I wasn't hooked from the get go on this one but it did pick up as we went through. It was confusing at times but I think it was meant to be that way with the memory loss that kept happening. The world building was great. I think we get a great understanding of how things work and a good history of how it came about. The relationship building, well I wasn't 100% with that. We go from hate to love pretty quick which isn't too unusual when magic is involved but I think it was more Val's attitude toward it that threw me off.

The ending is where this book really hooked me though. When all the secrets came out and things all fell together. Now I'm definitely looking forward to the next book. Especially when a twist happens at the very end. That was like oh my gosh YES!

So over all, I say yes give this a go. We are all different and I know a ton of people who were hooked from the beginning to the end. If you are like me though and it takes a minute to get into, don't give up. The ending is totally worth it.
