Life should be fairly simple for an average, teen girl meandering her way through high school…you would think.Sophia Papas’ only concern is finding the right color dress for Prom until a life-threatening car accident twists the hands of fate…literally! Everything she thinks to be true is turning out to be one big, Greek lie. Her father isn’t dead, he just went home…to Mount Olympus! That isn’t … That isn’t just some weird, random guy stalking her hospital room…it’s a freakin’ Demon! That isn’t one of the Fates shooting green magic out of her hands…OK – that IS one of the Fates shooting green magic out of her hands. And the topping on the Baklava is Sophia’s new found powers seem to introduce themselves at the most inopportune moments.
How did this happen? What does that make Sophia? Can she live a normal life? CAN SHE HAVE A REGULAR BOYFRIEND?
Questions are piling up and danger is getting closer. Only time will tell what the future has in store.

I really enjoyed learning about the characters and how they have been entwined with each other for centuries. If you like anything about Greek Mythology, this is for you
Greek mythology is a favorite of mine, so I am loving Sophie’s story. The revelations just keep coming in this fast-paced, fun story about Sophie, her high school friends, and those not in her corner.
Book 1 pulls you in from the first sentence. Wow what a starting scene . I was holding my breath and reading to find out what happens to the girls. Eros ! I have to say if your dad is going to be a Greek god – she got a good one. This story just flows. I had some difficulty with some of the missing scenes since she is just 15 but they were sweet and went no but her than kissing. For her to be kept in the secret about who and what she is for so long she takes it all very well. I love all the banter between the girls and their boyfriends. This book does just stop – so you do have to continue on with the other books to get the full story. Looking forward to book 2.
this was a very good start to a new to me series. I enjoyed it overall and would recoment it
Sophia wakes up in the hospital after a terrible accident that involved herself and her sister. While there, she is visited by her previously though deceased father who drops a boulder in her lap. He’s actually alive and the Greek God Eros and she’s a demigoddess called Amyara.
Definitely best result a car accident could bring.
Teenage years are always so full of new discoveries. Would be lovely if reality brought more like books. Despite minor changes and difficulty adjusting. It would be a cakewalk in comparison to being human.
3 1/2 out of 5 stars
Sophie Papas really thinks that here high school life would be easy until the day her and her sister get into a horrible car accident. Things start to change and boy do they change . She finds out that everything she has been told is one great big lie and her father is alive and living on Mount Olympus . Yes he is a God and then there is a guy stalking her hospital room and well he is a demon. Then there is the boyfriend that well she thought was normal but alas will anything be normal again .
There are a so many characters in this book that are in this book . The main character Sophie is sometimes naive as you start this book . She just is kind of just there but as the story goes on she really is a fun read . She starts to come into her powers and man its so funny to read . Conner is so sweet to read he is so protective of Sophie and he is so cute when he does it . I just really love these two together . We have her best friend who is the comic relief betwen them all . She is so fun and pushy in her own way . LIke i said there are so many characters to mention but they are so much fun to read .
I will say this is a pretty good read it took me a few chapters to actually get into the story and figure out what was happening . The characters are well written but i just didn’t feel a connection to them until they were out of the hospital and interacting together . Thats when i got into the story more . I really like the mix between Greek mythology and some other paranormal entities . There were some spelling mistakes and places where it lagged , which would rectify itself with another edit . Over all i truly enjoyed this story and would like to read more about these characters in her other books . This would be a really good for your teen ager on spring break . Check it out .
I love Greek mythology and Hannah Earl brings it all to life into today’s setting. Learning more about yourself that you could never imagine would be a shock for anyone. But the writing brings it forward to today and is to understand no matter if you like Greek mythology or not. Great characters, ( good and bad ) lots of different emotions, and your kept thinking about what might happen next. I love that in a great book
Some parts of the book are overwhelmed with every detail while others are glossed or skipped but then mentioned as if they happened later. Ex: the discussion with her father about her powers is super short and glossed but the next chapter is full of “Daddy said….”. Would have been far more engaging if we could have read the conversation with him than to be told about it later. I won’t be reading the rest of the series.
This book was a good read overall and I enjoyed the play on mythology.
I did feel at times the main character seemed a bit too immature for her age, and I was a bit put off by the editing errors. However, as I said, an overall good read and don’t regret picking it up.
