As much as I loved Kat and Dillon's story, I think I liked seeing the interaction between the Gods in this book even more.Round 2: Aphrodite v. Ares!Ares and Aphrodite (Dita) have always had a powerful connection. That is, until Adonis, a human, came along and edged Ares out. That still hasn't stopped Ares from trying to win Dita back. Even after the violent death of Adonis, Aphrodite refuses to return to Ares. For thousands of years, Aphrodite has wondered if Ares truly did kill Adonis at the behest of Apollo. Will she find out the truth? Adonis is still sore at her for releasing Daphne back to Apollo (Book 1: Deer In Headlights) and refuses to see Dita when she visits him in Elysium. Even though Dita beat Apollo fair and square, she felt that Apollo had suffered long enough so she petitioned the release of Daphne from the tree in which she was transformed. In the meantime, Adonis is stomping around like a whiny-ass baby but still Dita holds on to the love she feels for him. Will Adonis ever show forgiveness? Will Dita ever come to her senses and decide once and for all? Will Ares win Dita back for good? Oh yeah, and don't forget all that stuff with Kat and Dillon on Earth. :-)Staci Hart does a wonderful job of weaving together all these complex characters, human and God alike, in a way that leaves you wanting more. Most eBooks are filled with editorial errors and just plain bad story-lines. They do nothing but repeat the same old jargon until they've met their word quota. Ms. Hart is a storyteller. Her characters make you laugh and cry and get you angry and make you cheer. I'm happy to have discovered this book series and cannot wait for more!
