I love Greek Mythology, and I think it's a brilliant idea for an original story--borrowing, of course, from the ancients! Some of your sentences are awkwardly worded--the best way to combat that is to read difficult passages (or entire chapters) out loud to yourself. You'll catch the bits that don't quite sound/read right.
Ah, the ending of the first chapter was a perfect reveal though! I definitely love Damien. He is a really intriguing character and I can't wait to see how you develop him. The contrast between him and Devon as a generic girl teenager is really fun.
I am, however, frustrated that ever character's name begins with D except Hades.
Overall--great story, I'll definitely be subscribing!
I really love that you're doing your own take on Greek mythology. I always wanted to do something like that but I could never get creative with it aha. Your characters seem like they'll be interesting, though I haven't read far enough into the story to get to know them much.
Some of your sentences were worded awkwardly and missing punctuation. They were also rather choppy in some places, so you might want to watch that.
Overall, it seems like this story has lots of potential, so good luck with it! (:
