Olympian Challenger

Olympian Challenger by Astrid Arditi
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

⭐3 stars⭐

I LOVE Greek Mythology so I was pretty excited to read this book.. The premise of the story was something I'd normally really really enjoy.

BUT
what ruined it for me were the characters and the romance. We get one detail about each character and then everything revolves around it. I couldn't like any of them and as for the romance, well, there was zero chemistry there and it was just not believable.

Overall it was fun and I enjoyed the quests and trials and will probably read the next book.

★Thank you to Netgalley for an ARC of this book★

My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Sadly it's one of those times when I find myself not connected to the characters or the story at all... I blame my expectations.
World building was beautiful but unfortunately not enough to make me love the book.

Whether you're reading to be changed and challenged or reading to escape for a few hours who cares?
No one should be judged by what they read, nor should authors by what they write.

"I learned a lot about you. For instance, I learned that you're responsible for the breakdown of an ex-boyfriend's bank account-"

"Allegedly."

"-that you hacked a human police database and messed up their filing system when your friend was unjustly arrested-"

"Hearsay."

"-that you beat up a male demon who hurt your cousin-"

"I have an alibi for that."

Beauty of the Beast

Beauty of the Beast by Rachel L. Demeter
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

⭐3 stars⭐

Funny thing, the past. No matter how hard you try to shut it from your mind, you always hear those whispers in your skull..
It's inescapable; a true prison in every sense of the word. Almost like being chased by a predator.
The faster you run away, the more it chases you, and the more it demands you surrender.

"This is your fault, you know."

"My fault?" His brows lift, but he doesn't look away from his magazine. "How on earth did you come to that conclusion?"

"Your freaky good looks made her blind to all but you, sunshine." His expression is blank, though his lips twitch.

"If only I could strike women speechless."

Music can be your friend when you have none, your lover when you're needy. Your rage, your sorrow, your joy, your pain. Your voice when you've lost your own. To be a part of that, to be the soundtrack of someone's life, is a beautiful thing.

[Willard to Henry]

"What do you think princess?"

I put the book down. "This isn't it. She'd want a book that's been read-dog eared and held and sighed over-not one that's been caged in glass its whole life. She'll want one that's been loved."

Ever so slowly, Willard smiles. "There's hope for you yet."

I love him.

"We haven't been formerly introduced. I'm Ellie, Olivia's sister."

My grandmother (The Queen) looks down her nose at Ellie. "Yes, child, I'm aware of who you are."

"And I just...well...I wanted to thank you for the gown. Olivia said you paid for it and it must have cost a ton!"

"Indeed."

Ellie cups her breasts in her palms, squeezing. "And it makes my boobs look great!"

The Queen turns. "Christopher, get me a drink."

Ellie <3
I just wanna get to her book now! This one was ok. I just couldn't bring myself to care for the main characters..at all :(

They think that you won't hit back - that you'll just lower your eyes and hide. And sometimes, to protect yourself, to make it go away, you do. But sometimes, you find yourself standing in exactly the right position, wielding exactly the right weapon to hit back. So I hit.

We almost always can point to that hundredth blow, but we don't always mark the ninety-nine other things that happen before we change.
