This book is mediocre, at best. 
Would have DNF'd if it wasn't for my buddy read.

4.5 stars.

Dark, fast paced and action packed!

Greek mythology set in the modern world with fantastic storytelling and truly moving Greek tragedy interwoven.

Easy to read and hard to put down this book grips you from start to finish, could easily see this being made into a movie.

Fans of mythology retelling's, strong female characters, dark twists and romantic tension will love this book.

I was unsure how I felt about this until about halfway. It is a great take on the ancient Gods and myths. I liked the way it intertwined our reality with the legends. It wasn't until about halfway through that I felt like the twists and intrigue picked up enough for me to get really into it. 

Lore escaped a world where the Gods aren't legends. The Agon comes every 7 years. Kill a God, take their power. Her family was killed in that world of constant fighting for power and finding death. She has been trying to avoid it. Now a God comes to her for help and she has to decide if she wants to avenge her family. 

There are so many secrets and a lot of twists. The twists in the latter half of the book are what saved it for me. I got really into it with the brutal combat, the deadly encounters,  intense secrets, and major twists. I loved how much the twists changed the story. One secret chabges everything. A really good take on mythology for me.
