The Immortals

In my theme of reading books that Deborah Harkness has blurbed, I picked up The Immortals by Jordanna Max Brodsky up.

This is a fantasy book that is painstaking researched to match classical literature. It's like Percy Jackson for grown ups, with more death and sex and a little bit more boring.

Artemis is a vigilante, protecting women who are abused.  While walking her dog, she finds a body and realizes that someone is ritualistically killing women as a sacrifice akin to the "old days."  Her journey puts her in contact with an academic classicist (yes, it's a thing).  She has to get in touch with her family, the other immortals, in order to solve the case.

The plot twist was genuinely interesting and surprising. Some parts dragged a bit, but I still finished the book in  a day or so.
