Curse of the Sphinx

Product Description Fans of Percy Jackson and Twilight will love this mash up of mythology and paranormal romance. A mythical creature. An ancient curse. A forbidden love. In a modern realm ruled by the Greek gods, Hope has a deadly secret. Cursed by Apollo, she's considered a monster, an abomination hunted by demigods and gods alike. Forced to live on the run, she moves from town to town, never staying long enough to make friends, let alone fall in love. Just when she believes she's safe, tragedy strikes. Hope moves again, but this time, she's desperate to keep her secret hidden. Even if it means pushing everyone away.When Athan arrives in town, the attractive young man is persistent in his pursuit. Which should be flattering, but he seems to see right through her. Then shadow-demons from the Underworld attack, and Hope runs out of options. Against the odds, a tentative relationship blossoms, but Athan is hiding something, too. With demigods and demons closing in, only one thing is certain; their secrets could destroy them both. The Sphinx series blends urban fantasy with gods, demigods, curses, and romance to challenge teenage and tween concepts of fate, true love, and what defines heroes and monsters. This series is perfect for teens or young adults at heart.***"This book is AMAZING! I read it everywhere.

Highly recommend! --A.G. Henley, Author of the bestselling Brilliant Darkness series         "A fast-paced read with myth and reality seamlessly woven together to create a story that will appeal to fans of Percy Jackson. I can't wait to see what's next for Hope!" -Jen McConnel, Author of Daughter of Chaos  About the Author Raye Wagner writes young adult urban fantasy with a mythology twist. She's a big fan of both the Percy Jackson series (shocker) and the Twilight saga (gasp), and those two series *might* have led her to pursue her dream of writing teen fiction. Raye's a big believer in realistic characters and draws on her background in healthcare to ensure that her strong protagonists are believably flawed and act rationally. She loves reading paranormal romance so there's bound to be some kissing in her books. That being said, Raye writes for all ages, so it's still a clean romance. ;) Raye also relies heavily on her martial arts training (3rd degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do) to pen realistic fight scenes with believable consequences.Raye loves to hear from readers.
