Story4.5 out of 5 stars 21
Hope's world doesn't have room for heroes. She barely has time for schoolwork, swim team, and taking care of her ailing mother. But when she's invited to a mysterious tournament, the all-powerful hosts won’t take no for an answer. Transported to Mount Olympus, Hope comes face to face with her new trainers - the pantheon of Greek gods. While other contenders train hard to gain a fighting edge, Hope searches for a way out. Instead, she finds a gorgeous shadow god who may just convince her to stay.

This was a mix of Greek mythology (strong emphasis on this) mixed with the Hunger Games mixed with a tiny bit of Twilight. Really good read for the young adults/ teens.
I thought that the authors portrayals of Hope and her reactions to her mothers dementia to be pretty realistic. I won't spoil anything, but I did have to really think about why Hope made the choice she did in the end, but it does make sense when you think about it.
