This was an interesting romance. I would never have paired botany, art, and cycling together for a plot, but it somehow worked!

I am not a horror fan, but this book had me in it's clutches from beginning to end. The story/mystery was fantastic, the characters were diverse and complex, and the scary was just scary enough for this scaredy-cat. Bravo!

I wanted to like this so much more than I did. While I enjoyed the way this weaved the story of the creation of the various Greek gods, I just didn't like Hera as a character. I wasn't rooting for her.

This one wasn’t as good as the first one, but I really want to know how the story ends! I just want Evie and Tristan to declare their love for each other!! Is that so hard to ask??

Wow, this was an incredible book! Thought provoking, moving, and inspiring all in one fell swoop. Also, Julia Whelan narrates the audiobook, which just makes everything better.
