Zoe would lose all memory of her father and brother and even though she knows her mother Tessa will be upset, she doesn’t want to give up her special talents. Zoe’s 25th birthday is approaching and she has to make a decision about either joining the Council, which means mastering her talents to pass certain tests, or having her memory erased and becoming fully human. She is always apart and has had few friends in her life. She appears completely human but has never fit into the everyday world of work or school.

The heroine, Zoe Smith, is half-guardian, half-librarian. Dwelling among us are gods who protect humans from evil demons who also have human shape and other accidents and perils – essentially, super-hero guardian angels. Olympus are actually tales of non-fiction. Kenner’s literary conceit is that the “myths” about the Greek Gods on Mt. The premise of this book is extremely imaginative and I found the intermingling of “superheroes” and the everyday folks they protect to be wonderful. For those looking for something different, Kenner has provided it with a unique mix of our modern everyday world and total fantasy with a nice soupcon of humor. I found this book a total delight and absolutely unique. Review originally published on May 6, 2001įollowing on the heels of her The Cat’s Fancy, her delightful single title contemporary debut romance, Aphrodite’s Kiss has made Julie Kenner’s books an autobuy for me.
