I really loved the concept of this book. I thought having the Greek Gods become mortal for a time and sending humans to hunt them down to gain their immortality was a really cool concept.
I also liked how the different houses were all based on Greek myths, from more commonly known to lesser known.

All the characters were great in this story. For as much as the concept was really cool, Lore, Castor, Athena and the others were what made the story. From the Gods to the mortals everyone had flaws and there was a constant distrust that runs through everyone as the stakes are life and death. It makes for really good moments where the stress and emotions are at peak and everything comes to head.

This along with the amount of twists that this story has, had me devouring the book in three days over the Christmas period. It was addicting and really good entertainment. I would love to see this made into a movie or TV show.
