 Received from Xpresso Book Tours in exchange for honest review.
So... when I started reading it, I almost gave up after first chapter. Mixing mythologies is something I really don't like and usually recipe for disaster. However... in this book, it strangely work. It ended up to be really good book.

 So Norse and Greek Gods use to work together, and by work I mean argue. :) Because they were to busy with themselves, Fey were able to concur Earth. People, were exiled to the floating island of Olympus, made by Hephaestus. 

 Now, Zak Walker, a fringe rat from the Island and Seneca Rose, Seelie Princess, last of her bloodline, will work together to restore old Gods and win against Unseelie Court, that has taken over everything. 

 Zak lives with his younger sister Alice, that is a bit special. She sees thing no other can and stopped talking because of it. Father is a drunk and mother left them when Zak was 10. He lives on outskirts and works odd jobs. He is really interesting character, with street smart, bravery and endless love for his sister. So, when Alice gets kidnapped, he will do whatever it take to get her back. Seneca is really fun and brave in her own way. I really liked their friendship and funny banter.

 Only thing I don't like... Abby. I just don't like that romance.

 Really fun and action packed book.
Happy reading,

 Anie

Heroes are finally all together. They didn't have the best start, the peace with the Roman camp they were hoping for is long gone and they are planning on going after them.  They are on a ship, made by Leo, trying to come to the ancient land, but of course, it never goes smoothly for the heroes. Annabeth has a quest of her own to complete, she has to follow the Mark of Athena and find the statue that was lost for centuries. She is hoping that it will help bring peace between the camps, but the mission is not easy.  It's my favourite in the series so far- Percy and Annabeth are finally back together. :) And that cliffhanger at the end, omg! rating ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ cover  ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ Goodreads || Amazon happy reading, anie

This one is a bit different but in a good way. Charlie wants to say I Love You to Nick, but can't seem to find a good moment. Meanwhile, his mental health keeps getting worse, to the point that he needs more help than he can get at home.  Nick is consumed with worry. He worries about coming out to his dad, but mostly he worries about Charlie.  He sees him getting worse and worse, to the point that he doesn't spend much time at school.  They both have to come to terms that they can't be everything for each other and find a balance between love and everything else.  rating❤❤❤ ❤ ❤ cover ❤❤❤❤❤ artwork❤❤❤❤❤ Goodreads || Amazon happy reading, anie
