SYNOPSIS:
The Olympian gods have caused Hope nothing but chaos…
Hope escaped the Underworld with her life, but her memories
are as blank as the Book of the Fates she brought back. Still determined to
break the curse, she and Xan take an offering to the Olympian temple to solicit
the goddess Artemis for aid. But the petition has disastrous results, and now
the gods are hunting her.
Athan sacrificed everything for Hope, but she’s leaving him
behind to travel with Xan to Mount Olympus. But the closer they get, the more
Athan’s mortality becomes a liability. Forced to seek refuge in mists and
darkness, Athan tangles with deities that weave the very threads of fate. But
these goddesses also wield the immortal blades that lay ruin to destinies.
With everyone she loves damaged or destroyed by the blood of
Olympus, Hope must face the power of the past to change the fate of her future.

My Review:
Hope is back from the underworld with no memory but she
still has a curse to break and break she will or at least she will keep
fighting to break it for as long as she breathes.
Hope needs to talk to one of the Gods to get help in
breaking her curse so she needs to go to Mount Olympus but there is one little
ole’ problem and that is she needs an invite from one of the Gods. So now she
is on a mission to see all the Gods until she finds her invite.
Hope takes Xan along for the ride on her journey to find her
invite with the Gods on Mount Olympus. Hope and Xan will face tragedy and a lot
of obstacles on their journey to Mount Olympus. But Hope and Xan are very good
fighters and make a good team.
Hope has come a long way in growing up and maturing since
the first book in The Sphinx series Cursed by the Gods. I have so enjoyed going
with Hope on her journeys of trying to find a way to break the curse and on
being with her when she met Athan, Xan, Dahlia, Haley, Mr. Stanley, the Fates
and the Furies, Nyx and all the other characters for the first time.
This has been one amazing journey and one I am going to miss
so much. The Sphinx series has been my favorite books on mythology so far. I
think every book I pick up on mythology I will probably always compare it to
the Sphinx series to see how it stands up. The Sphinx series is going to be one
tough cookie to beat. I have enjoyed every book in the Sphinx series including
the short stories and am very thankful to Raye for giving me the opportunity to
have met Hope, Xan, Athan, Dahlia and all the rest of the crew. Thank you Raye
for this wonderful world of the Sphinx. I am going to miss every one of the
characters but hopefully we have not seen the last of them.
If you have not read the Sphinx series then I would love to
suggest that you give it a try if you love reading about the Gods and Goddess
and mythology or just want an amazing new story to try.
