Read Curse of the Sphinx Storyline:

An addictive young-adult fantasy based in a realm of Greek mythology, sure to please fans of Percy Jackson and Runes.
How long can a monster stay hidden in plain sight?
Seventeen year-old Hope Nicholas has spent her entire life on the run. But no one is chasing her. In fact, no one even knows she exists. With her mom,she's traveled from town to town, barely staying long enough to meetanyone, let alone make friends. And she'll have to keep it that way.
It's safer.
When her mother is brutally ripped away from her, Hope's life shatters. Isthis the fulfillment of Apollo's curse? Is Hope, too, being hunted?Orphaned and alone, Hope flees again, but this time there's no one toteach her who to trust--or how to love.
In a universe still ruled bythe Greek Gods, mythology is more than just a course in high school.Demigods, monsters, and shadow-demons from the Underworld are urbanrealities that threaten Hope's very existence.
When the handsomeAthan Michael comes to her aid, she must decide if safety is worth thesacrifice of love? Can Hope find a way, or will Apollo's curse rob herof everything she's every wanted?
Curse of the Sphinx is YAfantasy with a dollop of mythology, some romantic fare and a young girltrying to make it on her own in a world that stands against her. Fromthe typical high school cliques and the condescending "it" girls to thefresh take on fantasy creatures, Raye Wagner has a wonderful foundationbuilt for her new series. Fast-paced, twisted into knots at some points, Ms. Wagner gives us just enough information to mentally take us downseveral possible avenues, not sure which will be the correct one untilthe next book in the series. Wonderful writing, geared toward youngadults, without too much overpowering angst. I was hooked by thepossibilities that could be explored!
