A review by macgurlnet
Aphrodite's Kiss by Julie Kenner
5.0
I stumbled upon this book while looking through the ebooks my library system offers. This book had fairly high user ratings and a plotline that I thought I'd be interested in, so I gave it a shot.
I love Zoe. She's a very real character. I'm usually drawn to characters who don't quite see themselves as they really are, or are having a hard time accepting certain aspects of their personalities, and Zoe fits right in to that description. She's having a very hard time coming to terms with her "superhero-ness"(for lack of a better term!) and instead is trying to stomp out her various abilities because she can't quite control them yet.
Thanks to a variety of "coincidences," Zoe is forced to decide whether she wants to continue suppressing who she really is, or if she'll embrace her special abilities and live life to its fullest.
The end of the story gets a little bit silly. I would have liked to see a more dramatic "duel" between the two halflings, but that's my only real complaint. I can't wait to read the next one!
