The Son of Neptune by Rick Riordan

In The Lost Hero, three demigods named Jason, Piper, and Leo made their first visit to Camp Half-Blood, where they inherited a quest:

Seven half-bloods shall answer the call,To storm or fire the world must fall.An oath to keep with a final breath,And foes bear arms to the Doors of Death.

Who are the other four mentioned in the prophecy? The answer may lie in another camp miles away, where a new camper has shown up and appears to be the son of Neptune, god of the sea...

Percy Jackson made me a huge fan of Rick Riordan. He was the first one to really get me into the whole Greek mythology thing with YA. I absolutely love them. Maybe his books are more MG but that doesn't taint my love for them one bit. I love that The Heroes of Olympus is an offshoot of Percy Jackson too. Some of the same characters are still a part of the story, but you also get whole new characters to learn about. These are fantastic, fast-paced reads despite the ginormous size. If you haven't read the first in this series, The Lost Hero, you should definitely get on it before this one makes it's debut.
