'What do you want from me?' she screamed.
'What have you done with him?'

'Annabeth' said the bald dude, Butch 'we gotta leave. Let's get these three to camp and figure it out there. Those storm spirits might come back.'
She fumed for a moment. 'Fine.' she fixed Jason with a resentful look. 'We'll settle this later.'
She turned on her heel and marched towards the chariot.
Piper shook her head. 'What's her problem? What's going on?'
'Seriously.' Leo agreed.
'We have to get out of her.' Butch said 'I'll explain on the way.'
'I'm not going anywhere with her.' Jason gestured towards the blonde. 'She looks like she wants to kill me . . .'

Review:
I was really into Percy Jackson when I was in high school and found the books for the first time but since then I can't really remember much of what happens in the last couple of books. I have been meaning to reread them but I've got such a huge tbr pile that I don't want to get distracted reading a book series I've all ready read. So when I remembered I had this book on my tbr it was a chance to get back in to the Greek world of Percy Jackson. It also helps that I was taking part in a read-a-thon where I had to read a book over 500 pages and this was one of my big books that I own. I hadn't heard much about it before I started reading and well it was just as good as the Percy Jackson books. The main characters Jason, Piper and Leo were easy to like and fun characters. Jason does his best a leading the group, Piper is a bad ass girl who doesn't take much crap from anyone and then there is Leo who is a amazing mechanic with a good heart. It was a good start to the series and I'm looking forward to getting the second book the Son Of Neptune.
