I read and enjoyed the first book of the series, Deer in Headlights, and became a fan of Hart's style. This book is as sharp and witty as its predecessor but all of the stakes are raised, taking the series to a new level. It's so great to see a series grow and reach its potential so early on.Like in the first novel, Snakes moves between gods and the humans playing out their games. The story parallels between the two are really poignant and I found myself equally invested in each. The reader really gets two great novels in one neat package.I don't like spoiling anything in reviews so I will try to give praise without details. The book is witty and funny, lots of genuine laughs, but has equal parts exciting action and gripping drama.I'm fully engrossed in the series now, (already read the accompanying short to this novel which is fantastic) and even found myself looking up greek gods on wikipedia to see if I can figure out maybe some of what I have in store for myself.
