She is the closest thing Khaos Falls has to a goddess… And Aphrodite is feared and worshipped in equal measure. She has dedicated her life to being a savior for the lost regardless of the risk, but when unknown enemies nearly assassinate her in her own club, she realizes her reckless vigilante tactics won’t cut it anymore. He is the furthest thing Khaos Falls has from a hero… In fact, Hephaestus is who you call when all the heroes have fallen. Still, he is the best at what he does, strengthening the city’s weaknesses and keeping his feelings out of it. When tasked with Aphrodite’s personal security, it’s easy for him to detach himself from their mutual disdain. Until disdain is no longer the only thing he feels for her. With their enemies elusive and snakes in their midst, good hearts and sharp wit may not be enough. But he made a vow, and he will keep it. Even if it means turning newfound feelings into newfound strengths and using them as a weapon to protect her.

I think I love this one more than the first one! The minor concern I had from the first book was addressed here and watching Aphrodite and Heph push back and forth was so much fun. I found myself really connecting to Aphrodite and seeing parts of myself in her and was getting genuinely mad on her behalf during some of their arguments 😂. The roller coaster of emotions I went on through this book was insane and R.M. Virtues is really good at creating a world, characters, and relationships I had yet to see in a Greek Myth retelling. I can’t even fathom what an AthenaxDionysus ship will look like but I’m very excited.
