2.5 stars on this one.This was not the worst rendition of a Greek mythological romance but it was not the best either. It seemed a bit weak on story and heavy on sex and sexual tension. I didn't understand the dangling story thread of the wire that Simone wore to The Monsters Ball. It was mentioned several times but it had absolutely no relevance to the story st all.The book was spot on in how petty and cruel the gods were.My issue with the story was primarily this...Simone was a virgin for twenty-six years and she, basically on their second date, begged Thanatos to show her fleshly pleasure. From virgin to vixen in one page. Now, that'll give you whiplash.It was a quick and fairly uncomplicated story. The climax was a bit anticlimactic and the ending was a little on the weak side but it a quick and easy read.
