The Blood of the Hydra by Michelle Madow

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Thanks to Michelle Madow for giving me an arc for a honest review. Blood Of The Hydra is a whirlwind of adventure, romance and magic. Michelle Madow has outdone herself with this Installment, she proves herself to be a master storyteller. Blood Of The Hydra began with action, The group was immediately plunged into the job of fighting monsters escaped from the weakened Kerberos. In search of a weapon to defeat the monsters, they discovered a method to keep them in limbo for a year giving them enough time to strength Kerberos. The group journeyed to Greece to acquire the ingredients. On the course of the quest, they make a few friends, two demigods Ethan and Rachael also meeting Zeus in the process. From the Land Of The Lotus Eaters to milking the immortal cattle of Helios and confronting the Hydra, their adventure is one that keeps you on the edge of your seat wanting more. Filled with humor and heartfelt romance, This is my favorite Installment.... For now. I especially loved when Nicole was thinking that it would be "nice if everyone in the real world could put aside their prejudices and simply enjoy each other's company", that touches my heart. The moments where the group took photos at Helios's island remind that despite the severity of the situation, they are still teenagers. Nicole and Blake's relationship is something I was expecting and I was not disappointed, they many 'Aww' inspiring moments especially that moment towards the ending. Danielle is not a character I could have guessed I would end up liking, I saw a different side to her that impressed me enough for her to become a total badass in my opinion. But what I loved most about this book is the Magic, I love anything that has to do with magic and this book is full of it. Michelle knows how to write her stuff. Blood Of The Hydra is definitely one of the best the YA genre has to offer.
