The Immortals
So far 2016 has been a great year for readers. We’ve seen some pretty awesome releases – and we’re still only in February! One release that we’re excited about is The Immortals by Jordanna Max Brodsky from Orbit which hit shelves February 16th. Inspired by Greek mythology and her own trips abroad, Brodsky’s fantasy series brings classic mythology into the present in her brand new Olympus Bound series.
In the GoodReads description it’s hinted that The Immortals could do for Percy Jackson and the Olympians what The Magicians has done for Harry Potter. If that’s not a huge selling point then I don’t know what would be because The Magicians is awesome. There’s a lot of potential here for The Immortals to build on the mythology theme and spin a totally new story for older readers.
Sounds cool, right?

About the Book
Manhattan has many secrets. Some are older than the city itself.
The city sleeps. Selene DiSilva walks her dog along the banks of the Hudson. She is alone—just the way she likes it. She doesn’t believe in friends, and she doesn’t speak to her family. Most of them are simply too dangerous.
In the predawn calm, Selene finds the body of a young woman washed ashore, gruesomely mutilated and wreathed in laurel. Her ancient rage returns. And so does the memory of a promise she made long ago—when her name was Artemis.

“Irresistible…a page-turner that deftly weaves action, romance, and a dash of intellectual heft into one seamless whole.” ―Dustin Thomason, New York Times bestselling author
