From Gods: Descendant Prophecies #1

Growing up in a world where evil is only human is scary enough...but add paranormal beasts and human-like gods with powers and that is nearly impossible to digest within a lifetime, let alone a couple of months. If you had to put your faith and trust into someone, how would you know who would hold true? With power and everyone having a secret agenda, outside of the human world, what would help you feel safe? Mary Ting has an interesting young adult novel, chalked full of magic and adventure. Skylar is on her way to her cousin's house for the summer. The weirdness begins when she is pulled over by an attractive police officer. He seems to flirt with her a bit, but then checks the trunk of her car, seemingly looking for something. After he lets her drive off, she heads to her cousin's house to dish the odd run in. After a good laugh and thinking that she would more than likely never see him again, he walks into her aunt's diner while they are helping out. With Skyler hiding behind the cash register, her cousin takes his order along with the other men that accompany him. Feeling like her world has just turned upside down, he begins to reject her questions about the reason for pulling her over and his name is different. Having more questions then answers, she doesn't understand why he mysteriously reverts from being around her, even though his brother and her cousin have started showing an interest in each other. And...that's not the only thing that sticks out as being odd. Skylar begins to feel like someone is watching her, everywhere she goes...she feels danger is after her. Ting has an entertaining story with great character development and originality. The story is written well and flows easily. Some of the scenes that occur do seem to pass easier than what reality would assume. These scenes lack some key emotions, indicating distance that should not be resolved as quickly as the author appears to allow. This should not deter readers from the book or series; however, the author could have made some scenes a lot more meaningful than a “brushing off the shoulder” feel since this is targeting a young adult audience. If you enjoy reading young adult fiction, paranormal, or fantasy, you may want to pick this one up. This is the first installment within the Descendant Prophecies; therefore, readers can jump right in. A copy of this book was provided to Turning Another Page by Silver Dagger Scriptorium Tours, but this is no way affects our honest opinion of the book or the review that has been written. We provide a four-star rating for From Gods by Mary Ting.

I love this book more than any thing I have never read any book that was so passionate,awesome. My favorite part is when Skylar meets Mason as a cop named Doug and I loved it when Mason saves Skylar from Adrian when she tried to make Skylar's friend Emily draw Skylar's blood and then Adrian did not succeed she shot Skylar and then Mason was taking out the bullet from Skylar's arm and Skylar said "Don't stare at me". Mason said "I will always stare at you"

Awesomeness!! Mary Ting’s From Gods is a different genre then the Crossroad’s Saga Series she’s known for. It is “electric” as it blends paranormal romance, mythology (which I love), action and suspense together for an amazing read. Skylar Rome wants to spend the summer with her cousin, Kayla before heading off to college in the fall. Her path crosses with Mason Grand and his brothers. From that moment on strange events start happening that she can’t explain but swoon worthy Mason is always there to save the day. Skylar’s attraction to him is like she’s been hit by lightning. Could it be because he’s a descendant of Zeus? This book is definitely a page turner and I couldn’t wait to see what happened next. All I can say is Mary Ting you’ve done it again! This book exceeded my expectations, I was literally blown away. My question is how long do I have to wait for the sequel?
