I really enjoyed A Goddess Unraveled, but there were definitely some areas that could’ve been tightened up a bit. I love Greek mythology retellings, especially Hades and Persephone retellings, but this is not your typical story of those two. Morgan Rider did a wonderful job of world-building and I thought the characters were fairly well-developed. I did think the beginning of the book was a bit confusing; there were a lot of characters introduced and I was having trouble following who everyone was or what purpose they served. Once I was about a third of the way in, the story flowed a bit easier. Some things were left unclear to me (why was Luke there, other than being curious about “this one”) and some things I just flat out didn’t understand (why Lexi was ok with basically being the other woman). I realize this will be a trilogy and I’m sure those things will be answered, but it left me wanting a bit with this book. 

I would also classify this book as YA (if the steamy scenes were toned down slightly) or NA; Lexi is very immature and it was weird to me how much she was under the thumb of her parents and godfather. Even knowing what I know about WHY they were so overprotective, it didn’t make sense to me that she was an adult but still acted so childishly. 

Overall, I did enjoy this book and I am looking forward to the next books in the trilogy.

I received a copy of A Goddess Unraveled from Edelweiss and I am reviewing it voluntarily.
