This is a beautifully written retelling of the Greek Myth of Demeter and her daughter Core, told from the perspective of both characters. Anyone who has read any Greek Mythology will know how weird and wonderful these Olympian Gods are, and that you will never see a more resilient and strong female character as a Greek Goddess which Hannah Lynn has captured perfectly. This is the second novel I’ve read by the author and I look forward to discovering many more! Thank you so much to NetGalley for the ARC

Woah, that was super creepy and full of surprises! This book got right into it from the beginning, and I have to say I really enjoyed it. No you’re not going to find any loveable characters or the building of a good backstory here but you might find it hard to sleep, unless you live in a cave with no modern technology then you might feel safe…

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the advanced copy
