YA
In a post-apocalyptic New Orleans claimed by supernatural beings, Ari seeks information about her long-dead mother. With the help of a group of orphans with special abilities, Ari learns her family is descended from Medusa and cursed by Athena. Greek mythology blends uneasily with a Twilight-like cast of characters (vampires, witches, shape-shifters), though fans of either--or both--may be entertained.
