As much as I wanted to like this book I just…. didn’t. Maybe thats wrong to say, it was a fine read, very creative story and keeping the Greek Gods alive in modern time, and a unique idea. I just never felt attached to the characters? There were some scenes that I just wished hurt more when I was reading, but because I never felt emotionally attached to the characters I just didn’t care as much when these traumatic events happened to them. 

It’s not really fair to say that the story wasn’t good, because it was; it just never hit the mark with me and never pulled me in.

Readers should read with caution, needs reader warnings on the book.

I didn't know what this was about, it had been sitting on my TBR for years and forgot about it. randomly selected it when I was looking at a different book so this was quite a surprise. Action packed based in Greek mythology set in present day. strong yet flawed female lead character. Good fit for fans of Greek mythology and fantasy, readers who enjoy stories about found family, self-discovery, and the complexity of loyalty and power.

I wanted to love this so much more than I did. I spent the first 180 pages yelling at the book to be better. About the half way point it really picked up and became a page turner but I really wish the first half of the book had been condensed in four chapters so getting to the actual story itself wouldn't have felt like a slog.
