I was contacted by the author for a copy of this book if I would provide my review in return. This was another one I read on my kindle! The topic sounded interesting and I thought a fantasy book involving Greek gods might be kinda cool.
"Life is about one thing and one thing only. Power." (Thomas 1)
What is it about?
A group of Gods has come to earth and taken over the bodies of some high schoolers to rescue the missing fates. As soon as they come to earth they are under attack by many different dark creatures. They also meet up with some witches and a couple mortals who become very helpful in their journey.
Why you should read it!
Well, I'm going to back pedal a bit here, I didn't really like this book. I don't know a lot about mythology and that might've made me more interested (given me a back story) but most of the other reason I didn't like it don't have to do with the topic. As soon as the story started they were under attack and it just kept coming, one bad creature after another. I felt like this didn't give enough time for a story to develop, they were always running and fighting. I also felt like there was no regard for the lives of anyone they were dealing with. The human bodies they took over were disposable, everyone who helped them wanted nothing more than to die for them, I find this unbelievable and very unrelatable. The love story was also very weak and half hearted I think part of the problem were that the characters had no depth. This book didn't work for me and I can't honestly recommend it to anyone.
