A quick fun action packed read! I love Greek mythology retellings and this one was highly enjoyable! Ariadne is a badass FMC in this story and I loved the take on a Minotaur as Asterion. The insta love turned enemy to lovers was so much fun. Big bonus that a bunch of the audio is on Everand!

I was pleasantly surprised by this one! It has an actual plot, has some good spice, and it actually had a pretty good balance of the two. With that said, a star is getting knocked off because I felt like every single fight was just too easy to win. No one of importance that was on Team Hades actually died, and I feel like no matter how good of an assassin someone is, there should always be some type of weakness that makes the fight less easy. Like she can’t just be better than literally gods, y’all. It just does not make sense to me because as far as we know she’s just a normal human and therefore she shouldn’t be able to best literally everyone. However, I did appreciate the little bursts of feminism and I love Medusa’s character.
Even with these issues, I may continue with the series, but we will see!

It's interesting. I am not a fan of Greek myths but here I am, reading another book based on them. And loving it. Laughed out loud, swooned at the romance--what wasn't to love?

Good characters and plot. A fun read with some heavy stuff but they deal with the heavy stuff well.
Edited to include this nugget:
I just finished the series and it was amazing. Every book was as good as the last and builds one on top of the other to create a world you want to join. I usually burn out on a series like this where each book focuses on a different couple because most series just introduce different couples but the same outline of experiences over and over. Not this one. Each character is unique. Each couple has his and her own challenges and personalities. And each book progresses the overarching story in a fulfilling manner.
I loved the writing and the dialogue and the humor and the pain. It was all so beautifully wrought.
