My Thoughts: Omega Is Amazing!
Mixing prophecies, Greek mythology, and human nature Lizzy Ford has created a parallel world where the gods live among men. After reading the miniseries books I felt more prepped for the main book and understand the characters backgrounds and perhaps true intentions a little bit more than I would have without the short stories. The characters all have two or more sides to them with their own intentions and at the center of everyone's schemes is one girl who only wants a life and peace.
Always living a life secluded in the forest with rogue priests and orphaned nymphs, Alessandra only has her mentor the retired olympian Herakles as a true friend. Never being allowed outside the boundaries of the forest Alessandra begins wanting to explore the world beyond. It's not until she touches outside the boundary that the isolated world she's known is destroyed forever. Alessandra is quickly separated from the priests, nymphs and Herakles by soldiers and a beast. Secretly taken into the city of D.C. by a mercenary, Alessandra is quickly introduced into the dark war torn world she was hidden from for 12 years. While attempting to find her mentor in a highly guarded prison, Alessandra comes in contact with it's head guard the beast who is a man by day named Adonis. Their meeting causes many revelations and begins to help Alessandra learn much more about her past and most importantly why she is so important. Discovering who she is sets Alessandra on a path leading her to meet with powerful people such as the worlds leaders the Triumvirate, the silent Queen Phoibe, Supreme Priest Lantos, and Magistrate Cleon who all have secrets upon secrets concerning Alessandra and each other. One thing is certain Alessandra can't trust anyone in a world where power is gained through deceit and lies.
Overall, loved this book and if Lizzy Ford keeps it going, this series is going to be awesome! From the short stories to the first novel I'm in love with some characters and hate others, which is great because I'm emotionally invested. Alessandra may not be aware of everything but she knows she wants the world at peace. My heart broke for her at the end and every time she interacted with Adonis. I can't wait for the next two books to see what the heck happens! I'm dying to know especially with how it all ended. So if you are looking for a Y.A. book with a strong female lead that seeks truth and knowledge amongst lies and deceit in a world where people and gods only seek power at whatever the cost, than checkout this series.

But Phoibe doesn’t care about any of that. She wants to be loved by someone, and that someone is a mysterious shadow named Lantos who talks to her when no one else will.

When Mismatch doesn’t return to save her, young Phoibe must make her first grown-up decision: accept the curse or trust the shadowy creature who tries to help her.
