Source: Author For Review*Disclaimer: This did not affect my review in any way*My Thoughts:This book really surprised me. I didn't expect it to be that good and I'd never heard of it.By the end of the very first chapter ,I was hooked!I have to say I really enjoyed this book  because of the main character i.e Zoe. I love this girl! I could relate to her ,I didn't want to kill her and I didn't think she did anything really stupid in this entire book!I was snorting and smiling throughout the book because of this lovely character! You know how some characters just click with you? Zoe really clicked with me.My favorite scenes and lines  are those in which Zoe tries to convince herself that she isn't really in Ancient Greece.They're so refreshing! Usually the main character believes the unbelievable far too quickly for my taste. Let me give you an example.....Bella finds out Edward is a vampire......  She tries to be rational and thinks that he can't be a vampire for one page tops....then *bam* off course he's a vampire ...Even though he hasn't shown off any supernatural skills!Zoe,thankfully is a very rational person and it takes her  an acceptable amount of time to believe that she's in ancient Greece and then like any normal person she goes into full freak out mode.I really enjoyed the story too.There were twists and turns and even though some people might have been able to predict the ending,I was quite surprised.I'm also a huge Greek mythology fan and even though I would have loved it if there was more of  Greek mythology,I enjoyed how the author tried to add her own twist to mythology by trying to compare the gods to the cliques in high school.My only wish is the fact that I'd have liked to find out a little bit more about Zeus.I didn't get to know as much as I wanted  about his personality and what makes him so amazing.I couldn't really connect with him.I think this wish will be fulfilled in the sequel,A book I can't wait to get my hands on!Overall,a fun and entertaining read that will appeal to fans of Greek mythology and normal heroines .
