I just can't say this enough: I LOVE THIS SERIES!! I was definitely hooked after I read The Rush, which now seems like AGES ago. This one definitely lives up to it's predecessor, and was absolutely worth the wait.The world around our main character, Ivy Pierce, is falling apart. It turns out all the mumbo jumbo about the Greek Pantheon she grew up hearing ISN'T just the delusions of the powerful. Growing up, she always knew she was different than the norm. But, with the arrival of the Fates and a slew of other Greeks, it's starting to look like she's much more than anyone thought. Much more powerful, much more important... a very strong chainsaw in a shed full of dull axes. Yes, she's nothing more than a tool in her world. A piece of property, a pet. Something to be lent out to the highest bidder, if she's lucky.If she's not lucky, then she's looking at eternity with a sadistic god that likes to hurt the people she loves to keep her in line. A man intent on taking over Olympus, with her at his feet.I would LOVE to keep writing more... but anything else would be too spoilerific. Let's just say that Ivy is broken... but perhaps not as broken as she thought. Also, there is a LOT of wonderful Ivy/Ryder moments in this book. Oh so many.This series, I dunno, it just strikes a chord in me. Not that I've experienced ANY of what this girl goes through, but at the base of all the fantasy, and underneath all the Romance, this is just a story about a girl trying to overcome a horrific future; maintain her personality, her soul, her life... her hope, after being abused on every.single.level. for her entire life.
