Hey guys, sorry this one is up a little late and that I haven’t been posting much this week. I wound up coming down with the fall crud that’s going around, and I don’t have the energy to do much other than resting – BUT there are good posts coming, I promise! Without further ado, here’s the review of Becca C. Smith’s Atlas.
Have you ever wanted to know what it would be like to carry the whole world on your shoulders? Me neither, but the Titan, Atlas, has no choice. Becca C. Smith’s latest novel, Atlas weaves together Greek Mythology with a Special Ops/Navy Seals soldier, Kala Hicks. She has to deal with a slew of demons, angels, and gods as well as those mortals who wish to mess with her. The pace is quick, and it’s a fast read for anyone who wants to sit down with it for a while. From a very sassy Atlas to Kala’s kick-in-the butt attitude, the characters are amusing – like in a Will Smith movie.
Title: Atlas
Author: Becca C. Smith
Publication Date: November 11, 2013
Genre: Paranormal Action
Synopsis
Every four days. Commit one act of atrocity. Keep the balance or the planet dies.
At least, that’s what Special Ops soldier Kala Hicks is told by the Titan god, Atlas, after blacking out when she shoots the President of the United States. Even though killing the president had been sanctioned by the government, Kala wonders if the whole ordeal had fried her brain cells.
Kala is thrown into a world of demons, angels, and gods, each with their own agenda of whether or not they want her to live or die. She faces off against creatures of legend, all trying to sway her, use her, or kill her. There’s the annoyingly attractive demon who is determined to get into her pants as well as make her fail and plunge the world into chaos. Then there’s the stunningly beautiful Grigorian angel who is convinced he’s Kala’s soul mate, but to Kala he’s a supernatural stalker. Not to mention her own boyfriend – who may be the key to ending it all.
Pitted against the forces of good and evil, Kala must choose whether to save the world by doing the unthinkable, or sit back and let it burn.
Four days later, she’ll have to do it again.
