The story and romance are too rushed and the book can't seem to make up it's mind about what kind of story it wants to be. ( )

I absolutely loved this book and had a blast reading it! The way the gods in this one behaved was so entertaining and gave them so much personality. This definitely started out right from the beginning as well, and I kept routing for the main character through the whole thing. Fans of Greek mythology will really enjoy this title. I'm hoping there may be a sequel and at some point this gets made into a graphic novel, a comic book series, or even a film (live action or animated) ( )

I was provided an ARC from NetGalley of this book.

We follow Alex, a mortal concert pianist who gets killed by a flying whale, courtesy of Athena. As he prepares to cross into the underworld, Athena strikes him a deal: find a husband for Euryale, daughter of Phorcys and Gorgon sister of Medusa, and he won't become a shadow. And so the adventures begin!

As I began reading this, I loved the humor and banter of the gods and the idea of how they might react to a 21st century mortal. Alex is arrogant and clueless but with help, he learns to persevere through various trials.

I enjoyed the ending and the overall plot of the story and the second half definitely moved much quicker than the first. If you enjoy Greek mythology, especially modern retellings, then I recommend this story! ( )
