"The Huntress" by Nicole Hamlett. It's 2.99 book that Gillian downloaded into our Archives and I decided to give it a whirl.
I'm about 16% done and I've gotten a good chuckle outta it thus far - problem is I don't believe it's a comedy. The writer utilizes cliches like a Shotgun during a Zombie Apocalypse. Despite the protagonist being 30 years old - her first person narrative was spoken more like a whiny 14 year old.
But it's amusing me - so I shall push through it.
Oh Plot: From what I can gather so far - the Greek (and thus Roman I would assume) gods were really Anaceans (I think that's how you spell it, basically the people who occupied Atlantis) who have an extremely long life and can walk through different planes of existence.
The protagonist is supposedly the first "pure breed" of their kind in 3000 years and is the daughter of the one we knew as Diana. You know, The Huntress. You know, The VIRGIN Huntress... who killed someone just for looking at her..
Did I mention the story is amusing? Yes - so I'm not sure about what else, but I'm going to keep reading just because dammit this author's got some mad skills when it comes to working cliches into a sentence.
