This was enjoyable enough that it took me a day to read. I loved that it was steamy but it wasn’t just steamy passages that moved the story along. My issue is that it reads like a novel version of Lore Olympus - a series I love and I think does this retelling better because the passages are shorter and more concise. I can’t imagine where this series goes from here unless it’s just issues between H&P or drama. I wanted to give this five because of how fast I read it but my quickness in reading something isn’t always out of love for a story but out of how easy it reads thanks to the writing. 

Good but not anything I’m in love with.
