My Thoughts:

Warning, guys! This book is about a non-teen (22 years old), but I don't exactly think it would qualify as an adult book, per se. It was more like a 'New Adult' book. If you all are wondering about this new genre called 'New Adult', worry no longer because I will definitely post about this genre soon.

First, I've gotta say... it had Greek mythology in it (which I absolutely love... I wanna minor in anthropology because of it)... BUT it was quite a different angle used for it. I don't think I've ever read a book about the Centaurs in Greek mythology, nor have I ever wondered of they had created human-like offspring... Which was awesome.

This book is about twenty-two year old Camille Benning (changed to Strayer, then Chiron) whose mother has just died. Camille has always lived without her father, consistently asking her mother about him, and always getting a non-answer. Finally, right before her mother, Angela, dies she tells Camille her father's name and where he lives.

Camille does a background check on him before finally calling him, and she's slightly surprised that he sounds excited about a long lost daughter (really, long unknown daughter), and that his wife will be seemingly happy. Camille gets to William's (her father) home state and is surprised to find out that she has five older half-brothers. She's also completely surprised to find out that William is loaded.

Now that she's got the perfect family, something doesn't seem all that right. She keeps wondering if she's just walked into a cult-like family, but that isn't it. But, what she does find out completely changes her life... for the better, or worst.

I liked Camille's spunky attitude it made me want to be friends with her, just so that she could be my outside, funny shield-type person. I really liked how she interacted with everybody; it seemed more teenager than anything, so I kind of understood her more.

All of these centaur guys... GAH! They're like the type that you can tell are over-chivalrousness, and it would get all of your nerves sometimes, but other times it would be the perfect thing.

What I don't like about the centaur society, though, is that they're so DEMANDING. You have to do what they want, and only what they want, or they think you're performing some type of taboo.

So... I LOVED this book, and I want MORE of it!! It did end on a cliffhanger, but it wasn't such a bad one that I was reading to go off the crazy cliff for the next book. This book most obviously got a perfect score of five for all of the reasons listed ^^above. :)
