Synopsis:
Chaos:My name is Maggie Raynard. After sixteen years being just plain me, suddenly, when I lose my temper, my fingers become weapons of mass destruction. Turns out I'm a semi-god, descended from Aphrodite. Sounds cool in theory, but when I accidentally put my ex-boyfriend in a coma, things go downhill pretty fast. Now some new guy named Mac Finnegan has made it his mission in life to continually piss me off. I'm stuck learning how to use my new powers while also dealing with regular high school problems, and with this annoying and super-hot—guy all up in my business, I'm about to flip out. But it gets worse. I just learned there's this watchdog council of semis who keep an eye out for any bad apples. They think I'm the baddest one in the bunch and want to take me out before I do any more damage. My nemesis Mac might turn out to be my salvation, only he's got secrets of his own...and they may just kill us both.
Review :
I will start saying that when Maggie gets mad her powers are unleashing. Just like Jacob who becomes a wolf when he gets mad. I liked the chemistry Mac and Maggie had. The characters where all great. Her friends were supportive, understanding and the kind of friends I would like to have. There is a teacher who is all about the rules and Mac who is the perfect hero for a YA paranormal novel. Maggie is not pissing me off but she is also not my favorite person. Libby is. I ship Bink and Libby.
I really liked the book and I can't wait for the second book but I am worrying about the mythology. I hope that the author won't decide to make a drastic change and f*** the mythology up. Things so far were as good as I could expect.
There was no hint of a love triangle!! Bink must be in love with Libby and Rafe is so not the guy she is interesting in. Even if some events hadn't happened Rafe was out of the question. So if another guy doesn't show up and try to claim her heart I will be really happy, though there is a chance that there will be some other guy since Mac and Maggie can't be together. I won't get into details so I won't spoil the book.
