Immortals
Immortals | Jordanna Max Brodsky
Manhattan has many secrets. Some are older than the city itself. The city sleeps. Selene DiSilva walks her dog along the banks of the Hudson. She is alone -- just the way she likes it. She doesn't believe in friends, and she doesn't speak to her family. Most of them are simply too dangerous. In the predawn calm, Selene finds the body of a young woman washed ashore, gruesomely mutilated and wreathed in laurel. Her ancient rage returns. And so does the memory of a promise she made long ago -- when her name was Artemis. "The Immortals is a lively re-imagining of classical mythology with an engaging premise, a page-turning plot, and an eye for the arresting and uncanny in contemporary urban life."--Deborah Harkness, New York Times bestselling author of A Discovery of Witches Jordanna Max Brodsky's wide-acclaimed debut, The Immortals, sets Greek Gods against a modern Manhattan backdrop. Look out for her next novel, Winter of the Gods, in February 2017.

I love myth retellings & this one was enjoyable. It follows Artemis- now calling herself Selene & living in NYC. She & the other gods have lost much power as no one worships them any more but the Virgin Goddess still takes it upon herself to protect innocent women from abusive men. Then she begins to regain strength as someone starts killing women. A cult has revived the old rituals. Will she become Artemis again or will she stop the cult?

1. Egyptian, definitely!
2. Greece. Greek mythology all the way since always.
3. Tagged The Immortals (again) but seriously fun to see how the gods could be represented in a modern setting. Neil Gaiman‘s American Gods is an unbelievably close second, followed by Madeline Miller‘s Circe. So many great options!

Well, it‘s been a hell of a week. Was supposed to fly out Monday, but it didn‘t happen (long story & lots of stress). But I left Thursday and arrived last evening (Friday).

This week I‘ve listened to some of my favorite audiobooks and finished the tagged. I really enjoyed the tagged. The concept that the Greek gods are still around, but not as powerful. The story focuses on Artemis. I will definitely read the next book. 👍🏻

I sing of Artemis.

While flawed in places, this blend of murder mystery and Greek mythology finding its place in the modern world was an intriguing read. I learned a lot about the Greek gods, particularly Artemis, and am excited to further my knowledge of this fascinating figure.

This last week and a half has been hell on wheels. Between friendships I thought I had exploding in my face. Deactivating fb, going through a massive depression episode. I have adopted the what doesn't kill you makes you stronger mind set as best I can. I mostly just look at this bean and remember she is always happy to see me. Her love is unconditional. With her, a cloudy day and a good book. I can be okay for a little bit in this chaotic world💜

I read this one shortly after it came out and I‘ve not returned to the series but it‘s an example of what I like when it comes to the #mythsandlegendsswap. I hope to make it back to the second and third book! I love The Wicked + The Divine and Seanan McGuire‘s Ghost Road stories. I grew up reading Greek/Roman mythology and I know there are a lot of other gods so I‘m open to just about anything!

MeganAnn This looks fascinating!! ✨ 5y

Liked Selene, and enjoyed the story of Greek gods in modern day New York. However, Selene‘s occasional lack of social skills was curious. Growling at people is rarely effective.

A contemporary, and while fairly graphic much more fuzzy, look at Greek Gods in contemporary times. In a time when they have become much weaker and very nearly mortal. Too graphic for the young lady I thought would enjoy it. A fun romp with some of mythologies naughtiest.

Percy Jackson meets Cormoran Strike in this smart, intriguing story. Selene was fantastic — fierce, smart, resolute. Sweet, funny Theo was a good compliment to her. The plot was well constructed, but also easily predicted — I figured out the Big Twist about a third of the way into the book, & felt mildly annoyed waiting for everyone else to catch up. Also, the Greek went over my head a bit. Still, I‘m excited to see where it goes next! ★★★☆☆.

I read this in one (extremely long) sitting but really enjoyed it. The history is solid, the characters well made and believable, which is saying something for fading deities thousands of years old in modern New York, and the plot is fast paced. It's an easy, enjoyable read especially if you're nurturing an inner ancient historian.

Well, this was enjoyable! Greek gods in modern Manhattan + serial killing cult. If you like those things, you will love this. I am not usually into killing cults, but LOVE complex Selene, aka Artemis, as a PI working with classicist prof Theo to solve this horror show. The deep mythology woven in is amazing, the gods' modern struggles fascinating, the 2 main characters delightful. More please! Must get book 2 ASAP-ish.

#SplashIntoSummerReads #day7 #NewAuthor This was an @Liberty recommendation a few months ago, so of course I bought it. So glad I did because it's a fantastic story, the first in a trilogy. I'm currently reading Bk2, Winter Of The Gods. Selene DeSilva is a PI in Manhattan, a defender of women, but in a previous life she was Artemis, Moon Goddess. When she finds a woman's body with ritualistic markings, she realises a god cult is killing women.

I've always been a sucker for any story with Greek gods in the modern world. This one started slow, picked up steam in the middle, then had a lackluster ending. I don't think I'll bother with the sequel.

Ancient Greek goddess Artemis turned modern day P.I. Selene DiSilva is trying to hold on to her dwindling powers. She gets involved in a case where the woman is murdered using Greek ritual. Other Greek gods in their modern incarnations show up to help or hinder but overall an enjoyable read and a good mystery.

#AprilBookShowers #day30 #BestOfApril These are my four best of April reads. I managed 18 books this month,even with my mini slump so Yay me! Even though it's almost 10 less than I usually do. Security was a thrilling read, The Immortals is one of the best Mythological realism books I've read (if that's even a genre!) The Mermaids Daughter was a brilliant fairytale retelling & Plaid And Plagiarism was just fun from start to finish. Here's to May!

What a fantastic book!After a night spent in the ED, this book has definitely taken me away from reality, thank god!Set in Manhattan,Selene DiSilva,formerly Artemis Moon Goddess,now spends her nights patrolling the city,protecting innocent women.Then she stumbles upon the body of a woman,killed wearing a chiton with a laurel wreath on her head. Brilliantly written, it's part crime book, part magical realism & all awesome. Lucky there's a 2nd book.

Couple of chapters in and I'm hooked. This is a very interesting book so far, very unique. After the Diaspora, the goddess Artemis has ended up in Manhattan, making a living as a PI specialising in protecting vulnerable women. When she finds the body of a young classics professor on the banks of the Hudson, dressed as a virgin sacrifice, she feels compelled to investigate.

JazzFeathers Wow! I've seen this book before in on Litsy, but l hadn't realised it has such complelling premise. Goes in my TBR ;) 7y

It's 4.45am here in Sydney & I can't sleep because of pain.Finished my last book but trying to choose another has gotten ridiculous,my TBR is completely out of control,10 shelves full plus another stack in front of five of those shelves.All of them have fantastic reviews, it's getting to the point I'll make a poster with every book on it, put it on the wall & throw darts to choose what's next. Hoping this book draws me in. My I book for #LitsyAtoZ

Dogearedcopy I once catalogued every book on the house on GoodReads (scanner app was so handy!); then used the random number generator at random.org to pick some of my books! 😉 7y
minkyb Hope you were able to sleep at some point. 7y
Lizpixie @moranadatter @TrishB @Merethebookgal @minkyb thanks guys, I managed to dope myself up on painkillers and get some sleep thank goodness👍😴 @Dogearedcopy that actually sounds like a great idea, though it would take me a week to catalogue every book!😱 7y

Ever since I was a little girl and my mom told me that my middle name Artemisa was the name of a Greek goddess I started reading every book I could find about it. So I recently got this e-book because it's a modern retelling of Greek #mythology and the main character is Artemis ☺️. #aprilbookshowers

TrishB My daughter's middle name is Avalon after Arthurian mythology 😀 7y
RealLifeReading That's a great middle name! 7y
