The Games Gods Play by Abigail Owen
5.0
*4.5 stars rounded up.
This book was so much fun. I loved how it started off pretty quickly so it didn't require that initial push to get to the interesting stuff. It was also modern day mythology so the world building, while having some magical elements, was still easy to get a lay of the land. The games were interesting and exciting, high stakes always make it better too. There was a lot of tension (which I love). I also genuinely think this is my favorite Hades character. He is ruthless but has a side to him that no one else gets to see, BUT what he does at the very end of the book made me love him so much. I had a great time with this story.
