Lore, Lore, Lore.
Before I give my review I'd like to say I was absolutely a Percy Jackson girl growing up, so I'll eat up any mythology quite happily. This was just a little sweeter cause it's Greek and the myths I know the most about already.
I LOVED the premise of this book, as if I needed another reason to pick up the book. In the end the story came through and didn't let me down one bit. I was just shy of giving this 5 stars, but for now it's a 4.5 - thanks goodreads.
Be ready for FAST paced story, character growth and lore (heh) all packed in to an epic standalone. Be ready for some plot twists enough to give you whiplash but oh so worth it. I recommend this for anyone looking for an urban fantasy that isn't vampires, witches, etc. Still magical just a different flavor.
Trigger Warnings
* sexual assault (flashback)
