I expected more from this book ... it was just "meh" ... loved the concept, though.
Quick fun read, especially if you like(d) Greek mythology.
Not what I expected. I was looking for a modern story about the Greek Gods but this story revolves around two mortals and the Gods are characters that help the plot along. The book is still good, just not what I was looking for!

not a bad read and has good parts but is definitely lacking in some areas. it goes from being very slow to quick at just past the halfway point, and i honestly didn’t like it very much in the first half (it felt like a slog).
the ending feels a little half assed and lacking in logic, but it was fun to see how much alice & neil had grown:)

Simplified summary:
Greek Gods aren't all they used to be, but one thing hasn't changed: their penchant for fucking with humans.
Opening lines:
One morning, when Artemis was out walking the dogs, she saw a tree where no tree should be.
Review:
This is a fun and breezy story filled with adventure, humor, raunch, and large-scale shenanigans. I had a straight up good time with this book!

Absolutely delightful, Greek mythology-fueled fluff! In present-day London, Greek Gods and Goddesses share an apartment and are stumbled upon by unwitting humans Neil and Alice. Hilarity, drama, and chaos ensue as the deities play games with each other and the humans are caught in the crossfire. A quick, low-impact, romantic read.
The light-heartedness of this very funny book is a bit deceptive. Amid the misadventures of Grecian gods forced to eke out an existence in modern North London are deeper observations about the nature of love and loss. Stop chuckling for a moment, and you may spot them.
This was fun, but there was lots that could have been better. My main complaint though, is with the revelation at the end. Maybe I've just read enough else about ancient gods alive today (American Gods--though this is a very different take on the concept), but my reaction to the revelation at the end, the thing that the Greek Gods need to restore their power, that only Athena can figure out (and she can't communicate it) is that?
