What a fun twist on the Greek gods. I went into the story, not knowing much about it, but it felt to me like a combination of the hunger games and Percy Jackson.

The fact that Hades is the love of interest was intriguing, and I loved Cerberus. What acute twist on the three headed pup.

I can’t wait for the next book, this took me into a world that felt familiar because of the modern day setting, but still magical with the games played by the humans for the gods. Very unique. 

I do think it’s kind of funny though that the cover of this book looks very much like a YA book, but has some steamy scenes in it 😅 So, fair warning to teens 🤪
