Publisher's summary
THE GODS LOVE TO PLAY WITH US MERE MORTALS. AND EVERY HUNDRED YEARS, WE LET THEM …
I have never been favored by the gods. Far from it, thanks to Zeus.
Living as a cursed office clerk for the Order of Thieves, I just keep my head down and hope the capricious beings who rule from Olympus won’t notice me. Not an easy feat, given San Francisco is Zeus’ patron city, but I make do. I survive. Until the night I tangle with a different god.
The worst god. Hades.
For the first time ever, the ruthless, mercurial King of the Underworld has entered the Crucible—the deadly contest the gods hold to determine a new ruler to sit on the throne of Olympus. But instead of fighting their own battles, the gods name mortals to compete in their stead.
So why in the Underworld did Hades choose me—a sarcastic nobody with a curse on her shoulders—as his champion? And why does my heart trip every time he says I’m his?
I don’t know if I’m a pawn, bait, or something else entirely to this dangerously tempting god. How can I, when he has more secrets than stars in the sky?
Because Hades is playing by his own rules … and Death will win at any cost.

Story
There are only two rules to the game. Stay alive. And don’t fall in love. When Ophelia’s sister disappears, there is only one way to save her. Ophelia must enter Phantasma, a deadly contest inside a haunted mansion, and claim its prize—a single wish. Phantasma is a maze of twisting corridors and lavish ballrooms, of demons and temptations. Ophelia will face nine challenges, each more dangerous than the last. There can only be one winner, and the other contestants will stop at nothing to eliminate their rivals.

Story
Twenty-four-year-old Saeris Fane is good at keeping secrets. No one knows about the strange powers she possesses or the fact that she has been picking pockets and stealing from the Undying Queen's reservoirs for as long as she can remember. But a secret is like a knot. Sooner or later, it is bound to come undone. When Saeris comes face-to-face with Death himself, she inadvertently reopens a gateway between realms and is transported to a land of ice and snow. The Fae have always been the stuff of myth, of legend, of nightmares… but it turns out they're real.

So when the gods select her to leave her tower in the Ice Court and train to be a Valkyrie at Featherblade, she is sure they’ve made a terrible mistake. So is every other fae at Featherblade. All except the disgraced fire-fae Valkyrie, Kain. His burning gaze never leaves her. Nobody knows what he did to have his wings taken away, but he is as dangerous as the deadly world Maddy has been drawn into.

Story
After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

Everything about my life is a lie. As a hidden twin princess, born second, I have only one purpose―to sacrifice my life for my sister if death comes for her. I’ve been living under the guise of a poor, obscure girl of no standing, slipping into the palace and into the role of the true princess when danger is present. Now the queen is dead and the ageless King Eidolon has sent my sister a gift―an eerily familiar gift―and a proposal to wed. I don’t trust him, so I do what I was born to do and secretly take her place on the eve of the coronation.

Now, a thousand years later, the resources needed to sustain life are running out, and the very existence of the Mars colony is threatened. Humankind has only one option–to return to its home planet.

Story
Lyra hätte nie gedacht, dass ausgerechnet sie für die Crucible-Spiele ausgewählt werden könnte, bei denen die zwölf Gottheiten des Pantheons um die Vorherrschaft kämpfen. Doch ausgerechnet Hades, der geheimnisvolle Gott der Schatten und der Unterwelt, beruft sie als seine Championesse. Schon gar nicht hätte Lyra erwartet, dass Hades so ... sexy ist. Tatsächlich entsteht zwischen den beiden eine unbestreitbare Nähe, je länger die Spiele andauern und je öfter Hades die Regeln für sie bricht.

Story
There are only two rules to the game. Stay alive. And don’t fall in love. When Ophelia’s sister disappears, there is only one way to save her. Ophelia must enter Phantasma, a deadly contest inside a haunted mansion, and claim its prize—a single wish. Phantasma is a maze of twisting corridors and lavish ballrooms, of demons and temptations. Ophelia will face nine challenges, each more dangerous than the last. There can only be one winner, and the other contestants will stop at nothing to eliminate their rivals.

Story
Everything about my life is a lie. As a hidden twin princess, born second, I have only one purpose―to sacrifice my life for my sister if death comes for her. I’ve been living under the guise of a poor, obscure girl of no standing, slipping into the palace and into the role of the true princess when danger is present. Now the queen is dead and the ageless King Eidolon has sent my sister a gift―an eerily familiar gift―and a proposal to wed. I don’t trust him, so I do what I was born to do and secretly take her place on the eve of the coronation.

Story
After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

Not usually my cup of tea but so good however leans towards YA
I’m pretty sick of the epic games trope but this was done really well! I really liked the book but there are a couple of things that bother me (some I guess are technically spoilers? If you are super picky about spoilers TLDR: it’s more YA than adult but still wonderful)
It’s supposed to be an adult book but is really more of a YA book. It’s written better than most YA books and accessible but it’s very much written like a YA book and doesn’t really get deep into anything to make it more than a YA book which leads me to my second issue.
It is supposed to be this epic game set of labors 3 of which they just fly through and the others don’t really go deep into what in theory would be a very well thought out purposeful labor. They are all relatively the same and don’t really have a deeper meaning or lesson… seemed like a huge miss especially for a YA book
Lyra is supposed to be in her 20s but acts like and thinks like a teenager the whole time I picture her as 16 or 17 and her inner monologue is confusing. You don’t really get a sense of why she cares so much about everyone else other than she wasn’t cared about? I don’t know seemed week and confusing and it kind of explains her actions but not really again screamed YA not adult
The romance pieces are ridiculously predictable but kind of fun
Overall it was a great read I thoroughly enjoyed it and will be reading the next one! Just was a bit lacking for an adult book. The narrator for the audiobook is also wonderful!

This was amazing!
Just buy it! The best acing was great, twists, and character development. It had humor and sizzle. Very hunger games/ready player one/ Percy Jackson! I was enthralled! And it was a good length! I like longer books with succinct chapters. And fun chapter names - Not too spoiler riddled either. This was great and I can’t wait for the in the series!!!

I Swear By The River Stix…
…this was even better than I had hoped. I’m not sure how to wait for the next book!! There has better be one. I really hope they use the same narrator because she was really great. I was able to lose myself in the audio version like a movie.
Great twists and turns. Enjoyed it all!

Oh my Gods!
I was hanging on the edge of my seat for this one! I absolutely loved the story and all of the characters. The world building was nice and easy to imagine, the characters will make you feel every emotion possible. I was not ready for the cliffhanger though! I read this in 2 days and wish I could read it again for the first time. This book was a beautiful reimagining of Olympic gods in a modern world.
