Imagine a modern world where the Greek gods were real and every seven years, a hunt called the Agon, sees the gods become mortal for seven days. Families of hunters descended from classic heroes such as Jason and Perseus are the ones who hunt the mortal gods and each other, wanting to claim the gods' power for themselves. Lore is the last of the House of Perseus but she turned her back on the Agon following the death of her parents and younger sisters, but when her childhood friend, Castor returns and Athena offers a pact to defeat the others, Lore is drawn back into the life she tried to leave behind.

This had all the ingredients of being a cracking read: classical mythology (which I love), action, and only a sprinkling of romance, but the finished book is somehow less than the sum of its parts. Saying that, it wasn't a bad read and there was quite a lot to enjoy, I can't quite put my finger on why it didn't work as well as it should have, there was just something vital missing for me. It was an okay first read, but it's not a book I would be drawn back to to reread.
