A review by shelleyjld
Of Gods & Monsters by Zavi James

2.0

2 stars because of the cliffhanger ending and the cheating and the length.

It kept me invested and reading despite that the cheating was stupid and the story predictable. The sex was hot and the growth of the relationship between the main characters was touching.

But it ended on a cliffhanger. Ugh.

And the length was insane. At 54% I was shocked I was only in the middle. This book took forever to read. And I stuck with it because I wanted a happy ending to it. But it was a freaking cliffhanger in which the main couple end up separated.

So no thanks. I’m out.

Update: I wanted to expand on the predictability of the plot. Every single thing was predictable and I can right now set my predictions for books two and three:

- Our heroine spends the book being manipulated by Archer who is 100% the person who hit her with his car. She will discover all of Gray’s secrets and the distance between them will grow. The end of the book will establish battle lines for the coming conflict between the Elite gods and the minor ones as well as a subplot where Gray plots to overthrow Hunter and win back Quentin’s love.
- In book 3, the heroine will use her new powers to help overthrow the Elites and then discovering Archer is worse than Hunter as a leader, help Grayson overthrow Archer and become King.

Someone tag me when they read the final two books and let me know how close I was.

So not happy with this book.
