In Lore, Ancient Greece meets modern day New York. Original and exciting, this book takes the popular Greek deities and gives you the unexpected. Punishment from Zeus sends 9 Greek deities down to earth as a mortal every 7 years. The families descended from Greek Heroes must hunt them and if they land the killing blow, they take their place.

As I said, it was such an original idea. From the very start I was intrigued by the premise of the hunt. The relationship between each House of Heroes was also fascinating. I would happily read prequels about the previous hunts and the relationship between houses.

I felt the pacing was off on this. Some of the solutions felt quite obvious. I spent much of the last section of the book saying come on - it just got a little frustrating. The timing and pacing issues prevented this book being a 5 star for me.

I still enjoyed this book though! It’s a world I’d love to return to. It was refreshing to read something new that used Greek mythology at its core.
