Publisher's Summary

Welcome to the family.

In a disheartened attempt to get her life back on track, Lucy takes up a live-in nanny position only to realize that the advert was misleading, sending her world spinning violently out of control. She was meant to look after kids and animals, not a menagerie of mythical monsters—of human and beast kind alike.

Little does her mysterious new employer know, Lucy has her own dark secrets, and faced with the realization that she needs to grow her abilities to survive, she pushes herself too far, destroying the delicate balance between magic and technology.

To seize control of her new world and save herself, Lucy must choose—her life or her humanity.

Athena M. Bliss' debut novel, The Sons of Echidna, is a fast-paced blend of The Umbrella Academy meets A Series of Unfortunate Events. A nonstop series of toppling dominoes, this book promises to keep you on your toes, from beginning to end. A hefty dash of spice brings the diverse and colorful cast to vivid life.

The first in the series, The Sons of Echidna will be followed shortly by The Sirin Sisterhood and The God Genome.

Interesting story and enthralling mystery

Not my usual read—I’m definitely not the target audience—but I enjoyed the mystery, mythology, and characters. The details of the house and the world were fun and the spin on the mythology was distinct and intriguing. The setting and a want to know how this strange place functions is what hooked me.

I found Lucy’s motivations difficult to grasp at times, paired with some minor whiplash at her subdued response to the crazy things going on around her, particularly at the beginning.

Overall, it was a good read and, despite being unsure if this genre is for me, I’ll probably pick up the next book.
