Synopsis: The Story Continues. . .
Summer and Darce are summoned by the order of Zeus himself to travel to the home of the Gods: Mount Olympus, where they're to face even more ancient Gods and Goddesses.
Summer braces to confront her mother again, illuminating secrets about the truth of her tragic pasts, while also persuading Zeus to allow her to stay with the God of the Underworld, her true love - Darce.
Aboard Poseidon's luxury yacht, Summer meets her mythological family, while also uncovering what exactly happened to her past lives - and the true roles her mother and Darce played.
When Darce and Summer suddenly find themselves separated, Summer must find her inner power and unite them together, before her mortal time runs out.
Review: I loved the first book and the love for the second book did not waiver. I loved the characters and felt they were fairly well developed. The book was full of pop culture references which made for a fun read and the book did well with the world building.
However, I felt the book was too short in my opinion, which makes the pacing a bit too fast for me. I think the author could have expanded on the book another 200 pages and it would have worked great!
Verdict:
