I'm not sure what took me so long to read this book but it was SO GOOD.  Zeus has punished the gods with the Agon; nine gods forced to be mortal on earth for a week. The catch? They're being hunted by descendants of ancient bloodlines and whoever strikes a killing blow gains that gods power and immortality.

The stakes, however, are at an all time high this cycle as the New Ares is working to bring about an end to the Agon by ensuring the death of all the other gods (if they're killed by another god their power is lost).  Our main girl, Lore, teams up with Athena to end him and get revenge for his brutal murder of her family.

Things, however take a turn as she reunites with her childhood friend Castor and finds out just how much he has changed since she last saw him just over seven years ago.

And of course, nothing is ever quite as it seems.

The side characters are also just as great. Van especially is my favorite.
