Unwanted.

Unloved.

Battling to survive among the gods and goddesses of Greece.

That was Calista’s life, until a stranger from the stars appeared with startling revelations.

Her life, as she knows it, is a lie. The truth being a far more sinister tale of jealousy, rage, and kidnapping. Now, to claim the love that had been missing from her life, she must reunite with her real parents and take her place as an Atlantean Goddess.

But that journey will not be an easy one. Those who presented her with the truth demand payment... with Calista herself being their desired currency. Can she find a way to battle gods for her freedom? Or will she once again be torn from the family she longs for?

Review

I absolutely love plots that contemporize ancient civilizations' mythology. Calista is an engaging, well-written character, and I enjoyed following her on her journey to discovering who she really is. The other characters were equally amazing and had their own personalities and quirks that made them seem so lifelike. The world-building was incredible and it helped me become even more engrossed in the story. The plot flowed smoothly, there wasn't a dull moment, and reading it was effortless; I didn't want to put it down. 

A captivating book from beginning to end, Spider's Awakening is a must-read for those who enjoy contemporary twists on ancient mythology.
