Synopsis: Avery Montgomery doesn’t even know if she wants a soul mate.

As a member of the Hellenicus—a race founded in antiquity and descended directly from the Greek gods—Avery’s attending her first Gathering where she’ll gain the ability to entwine her thoughts with her destined soul mate and be tied to them forever.

But all is not as it seems at the Royal Court. There are severe and strange looks from the elders, whisperings from the ancient Dodona tree, and encounters with spirits who seem to know Avery better than she knows herself.

Throughout these whirlwind events at Court, Avery finds herself torn between her feelings for the wise and protective Vladimir and the passionate, fun-loving Adrian. Unwilling to surrender her independence or to betray her heart, Avery must decide once and for all if she’ll give in to her desires and risk the wrath of the Gods.

Because who are you if your destiny lies with another person?

Review: Overall, this was a good read. The book had some good character development and the story was interesting for the most part. The writing was pretty good and I think the pacing was great for this book.

However, the book needs to be polished a bit more. The book is a bit disjointed in spots and it’s hard to follow along in some spots. The book also relies a lot on clichés and tropes, which make it hard to read because it’s a bit of a cheesy read. The book also isn’t as developed in world building as I would have liked it to be.

Verdict: It’s pretty good.
