This short story focuses on Medusa. Not the classical Medusa with snakes on her head that kill you with one look but a killer none the less.
As with all the Dark Olympus books, some of the Thirteen are involved. This time, Athena in her capacity as War Strategist or the woman you come to in order to take out a hit. This one on a lover who is inconvenient to the man and, instead of just breaking it off, Medusa is sent in.
But, in all her years of killing for Athena, this is one time she finds her assignment distasteful. And how distasteful leaves her quaking in her boss and shuddering at the temptation Calypso is.
Can Medusa carry out her assignment or will she fall for the charms of Calypso? And will Calypso fall for Medusa?
This charming short story was worth the time it took to read it. Swoon worthy indeed!
