I also didn’t like how cookie cutter some parts of the plot were.

This is a story centered around Greek mythology, but we didn’t meet many characters from mythology, which kind of disappointed me. I’m not sure if it was me going in with too high of expectations, reading too much Rick Riordan, or poor execution, but I feel like this book had a lot of untapped potentials. I honestly felt like this book was a mix of Xanadu and Rick Riordan…and I’m still not sure how I feel about that. I LOVE mythology and I loved the idea of following the decedents of Eros. I really enjoyed the premise of this book. I really wanted to love it, but it was just missing that something special for me. So, I have some seriously conflicting thoughts about this book.

Rachel must learn to do what no Hedoness has done before – to resist her gift – or she’ll turn the person she’s grown to love into a shadow of himself … for ever.įirst, a HUGE thank you to Rockstar Book Tours and Rebecca Sky for providing me with a copy of this book as a part of your blog tour and in exchange for an honest review! With the police hot on their trail, Rachel soon realizes there are darker forces hunting them – a group of mortals recruited by the gods who will stop at nothing to preserve the power of the Hedonesses – not to mention Eros himself, who is desperate to reverse the curse. Rachel distances herself, struggling to resist the growing attraction, but when he gives up his dream to help her evade arrest, distance becomes an insurmountable task.

She’s falling for him – a messy, magnetic, arrow-over-feet type of fall. When seventeen-year-old Benjamin Blake’s disappearance links back to the Hedonesses, Rachel’s world collides with his, and her biggest fear becomes a terrifying reality. But the last thing Rachel wants is to force someone to love her. She wields the power of that magical golden arrow, and with it, the promise to take the will of any boy she kisses.
