Melanie Jacoby may be the reborn Muse of Tragic Poetry, but she isn’t prepared for the tragedy of finding her roommate dead at the bottom of the stairs.
Nate Malone is the detective assigned to the case, but as the evidence points to an accidental fall, the visions begin. He sees a killer in a gold Kronos mask.
Mel is his next target.
But Nate’s desire to protect Mel is almost as strong as his hunger for her.
And tragedy isn’t part of his plan.
The Prophecy - “Every generation the nine daughters of Zeus are reborn, and with their rebirth are also nine Guardians. They will be marked by the gods, and given gifts to protect his treasure. Their abilities will only be unlocked when they find their muse.”

Ratings and reviews

This is an intriguing story. Mythology mixing with the contemporary world. The instant attraction between Mel and Nate warned of something beyond them. Nate doubts himself but has such a big heart. It took Mel to push a bit to open him up. Their interactions with Maggie had tears in my eyes. I loved the HEA and look forward to more in this series to continue with the backstory. I received a copy of this story through Netgalley, and this is my unsolicited review.

Muses. 9 of them. They have guardians. What it means no one knows at least not at the start of the book. This is a great start to a series and it looks like we will learn more about the muses and why someone is after them and trying to raise the Titans as the series progresses. Yes these are standalones but it seems like the story continues somewhat throughout the series. I like Nate, he is sensitive and has his own demons that he battles while figuring out the guardian thing since he is the first. Mel is a pistol and while she is the first muse with a guardian they are figuring it all out. With her the glass is half empty attitude and tendency for her thoughts to immediately go to the worse case scenario makes her an interesting one to start this off with. I have read other books in the series so it's good to come back and find out where it all started. Great read.

very good book. loved the suspense, the sex and the love.
