Review: The elephant in the room....
Rating: 4 out of 5

I really like this series...BUT....after 3 books and a novella, Grace really needs to start getting her act together and get serious about her "job" as a Hunter. She's still in a state of denial and doesn't think her actions thru before jumping into the melees that seem to occur in her general area. A 30+ year old woman needs to stop thinking and reacting like a teenager sooner or later, her emotions tend to be all over the map. We get that she's been hurt by her adoptive parents, that her ex-husband was a heel, but she is supposed to be a romance writer and should have a better grasp of how interpersonal relationships need to be walked away from when they do not benefit the people in those relationships. I love her sassiness, but sometimes her denial of her emotions get in the way and she reacts first and seems to forget about the consequences. The author has taken Greek mythology and put a really great spin on it, and her worldbuilding and characters are great. Her heroine just needs to put her big girl panties on a little more often than she does. That's the only reason why I couldn't give it 5 stars. I love the series, but as some other reviewers have stated, Grace needs to get her head in the game and stop jumping the gun like she does. I still recommend reading the series, and am looking forward to the next one.
