Fantasy, Greek Gods, Snark, Magic and Romance, Strong Women, Hot Alpha Men, Complex World Building with Fantastic Characters you can’t help but connect to. What else could you want ? Nothing this book is a complete winner.
I finished it with tingly butterfly feelings of happiness.

Cat is a young woman hiding from her past and the future she dreads. She has abilities that made her a hot property, desired by many. She is my kind of woman, a complete smart aleck, educated, street smart, and she has p ...more

2 stars - The story and world building has some potential 'deus ex machina' god interventions which absolve unlikable protagonists of really driving their own story aside.

However, it's the pair of extremely unappealing protagonists, particularly a 'good guy' hero who abducts the heroine and sees no parallels between his behaviour and that of the despots he overthrew and only gives his 'lover' freedom when he has all but guaranteed she's well into a rampant case of Stockholm syndrome and a whin ...more
