The Games Gods Play by Abigail Owen

5.0

This story captivated me from the start with its thrilling mix of Greek mythology and modern-day drama. Lyra, a cursed office clerk, unexpectedly becomes Hades' champion in a deadly contest among gods. The stakes are sky-high, with intense, pulse-pounding action and a slow-burn romance that had me hooked. I loved the depth of the characters, especially Lyra, who humanizes everyone around her, even during this brutal competition. The rich world-building and mythology references are spot on, making the story even more immersive. This book is a must-read for romantasy fans, and I’m eagerly anticipating the sequel. It’s a story that stays with you long after you’ve finished.
