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.
The story throws you into a world where gods and demons mess with mortal lives through intense games and challenges. The trials are super inventive. Plus, the witty dialogue between characters is funny and keeps the story moving.
The romance here is a slow burn that adds a nice touch without taking over the plot. The “mine” trope feels right at home in this setup, blending well with the high-stakes action and mythological drama.
All in all, “The Games Gods Play” is a fun, fast-paced read that mixes humor, adventure, and a bit of romance. If you’re looking for a book that’s as entertaining as it is engaging, give this one a go.
