DNF'ed the book @30%

The book felt too much like the first and the characters seemed nothing more than carbon copies,

FINALLY, an American novel with the Isakei trope that is normally covered in Asian comics. Though it has become quite popular, it has not seemed to have entered American novels. This one, however, changes this and allows the reader to be transported into a world from either a book, a webtoon, etc the character had read prior to their death in the real world.

While the mythology of Medusa tends to change depending upon the told mythology or how her story is weaved into movies and books, Medusa's story is still a sad tale from beginning to end.

If you love the Bodice Ripper subgenre such as Downton Abbey and Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, then this is the book I recommend that will return you to a world of Regency, beautiful males and females, and a romance as endless as time.

A book of twists and turns that you don't see coming. Characters are well-developed and relatable. Riley's writing style was descriptive and engaging, and he did an excellent job of creating a suspenseful atmosphere. This book will keep you engaged from beginning to end.

I loved this book. I loved the complex characters, and the unique world-building with the mythology and urban fantasy blending together, captivating and drawing the reader into this world.

But I give you a fair warning - this book ends on a cliffhanger and the next book in the duet (?) will be out sometime toward the end of December.

This unique perspective on the myth of Psyche and Eros offers readers a new way to understand and work with their own desires and passions. It challenges us to examine our own relationship with intimacy, love, and meaning, and to consider how we can integrate these aspects of our lives to live more authentically and fully.

I have always been fond of any book that retells the Hades and Persephone myth. This was a nice and short read. The only problem is that the book does not really go into much detail on world-building. I have not read the sequels of this series. So, I might be missing out on it.
