Dreams. They're only dreams. Strange, brutal dreams, straight off the pages of an ancient Greek mythology book. That's what Mandy Burkhardt tells herself, stocking shelves at the Occult Bookstore in Chicago. Her boss senses more. He feels something. An awakening. The prophecy. The others can, too, even if they can't quite put a finger on it. As the hidden power inside of her grows, an ancient spell comes to life, compelling her back to her rightful time and place: ancient Greece, a barbaric era of witches and gods, gorgons and oracles. Witnessed by new friend, Ryan Taylor, Mandy's disappearances can no longer be denied. Together, they try to discover what's happening to her and why but in the process become targets in a deadly and sinister plot. Caged, trussed, shackled and hunted, Mandy must come to terms with her past and fight for her future in a bloody battle to the finish with even more at stake than she knows. * * * Bringing legend back to life in this present-day fantasy thriller, the Medusa Deception gives readers a glimpse of ancient Greece and the gods - their thirst for power and revenge - their treachery and lies.

A tale in which an angry god brings a teenage girl back from the dead. ⁂ "And at the crack of dawn, they rose from their ashes, abandoning their graves to wreck havoc upon the world." Neith Johnson was dead. Six-feet-under after being brutally murdered kind of dead. But when the god of the dead curses humanity for the first time in centuries, she returns. But the curse has a catch: she has to find whoever murdered her and kill them to quench her blood thirst, or she'll cease to exist. But how can she find her killer if she can't even remember how she died?

Keira Lane. Ein Mädchen unter vielen anderen Menschen. Sie ist nicht gerade unauffällig mit ihrer zu großen Klappe und ihrer ewigen Bekanntschaft mit der Polizei und schlecht gelaunten Lehrern. Aber auch nicht auffällig. Niemand würde ihr groß Beachtung schenken, wenn man sie auf der Straße sieht. Es sei denn vielleicht, sie überfällt eine Bank, auch, wenn sie natürlich nie an so etwas gedacht hat. Vielleicht wirkt sie nicht besonders, aber das äußere Erscheinungsbild kann ja bekanntlich ziemlich täuschen... Das schöne Cover ist von der lieben @MoonyGirl2 , danke dafür
