My review of From Deities...
Sometimes a book comes around that you love so much your speechless. This is one of those books! (Besides, who wants to read a super long review when you got lots of books to read!)
  • Huge plot twist that SHOCKED me! 
    • Most of you know how much I love a plot twist that I can't guess. Well not only couldn't I guess this one but it left me jaw-dropped! 
  • Character development is on point!
    • I'm already in love with these characters from reading book one, From Gods. They are realistic, relatable and fun! Well we get to see them develop a hundredfold (which I didn't think was possible, they were already great!) in this book!
  • And the plot thickens!
    • Of course I won't spoil it for you for guys...the already amazing plot gets even more intricate and of course complicated (in a good way!) which had me on the edge of my seat! 
  • Romance has progressed beautifully and most importantly REALISTICALLY! 
    • Everything between Skylar and Mason felt incredibly real...no other words can describe how I felt about this couple! 
By the end of this book I just wanted to immerse myself in this series and never leave! I would recommend this to anyone with a heartbeat!

Mary Ting, thank you for sharing this heartfelt, action-packed story with your readers!
