Warrior Rising (P.C. Cast)

Goddesses Hera, Athena, and Venus have had it up to here with the Trojan War. So much devastation - all because of some silly male egos. The worst of the bunch is Achilles, the Greek champion whose powers have made him practically invincible. To stop him would be to end the war. But the only way to stop a man like Achelles is to distract him - with something far more pleasurable than combat...

The three goddesses seize their chance when a twenty-first-century beauty named Kat and her best friend perish in a car crash in Tulsa, Oklahoma. In no time, they shift the friends' souls into the bodies of a Trojan princess and her handmaiden, having no doubt that Kat will catch achilles' attention. But can her independent, fiery spirit match the unquenchable fire of his epice rage? Goddess only know...

I was so excited to read this book. I love mythology! When you throw in some modern with the ancient, it just gets better.

I was disappointed. Not necessarily by the story. The author had some great bones to it but she was obsessed with sex and had way too much swearing from her characters.

Marked (P.C. Cast & Kristin Cast)

Enter the dark, magical world of the House of Night, a world very much like our own, except here vampyres have always existed. Sixteen-year-old Zoey Redbird has just been Marked as a fledgling vampyre and joins the House of Night, a school where she will train to become an adult vampyre. That is, if she makes it through the Change - and not all of those who are Marked do. It sucks to begin a new life, especially away from her friends, and on top of that, Zoey is no average fledgling. She has been chosen as special by the vampyre Goddess Nyx. Zoey discovers she has amazing powers, but along with her powers come bloodlust and an unfortunate ability to Imprint her human ex-boyfriend. To add to her stress, she is not the only fledgling at the House of Night with special powers: When she discovers that the leader of the Dark Daughters, the school's most elite group, is misusing her Goddess-given gifts, Zoey must look deep within herself for the courage to embrace her destiny - with a little help from her new vampyre friends.
You can tell by the writing that the authors were shooting for a young/teen audience but I wouldnt recommend that audience. The content has some definite adult/sexual nuances.
I enjoyed the story and am curious as to how the story continues in the next book of the series.
