Author: Raye Wagner

Series: Sphinx Book Two

Genre: Young Adult Urban Fantasy

Release Date: April 25th, 2016

Publisher: N/A

Rating: 5 Stars

Why I Read/Listened to the Book: I enjoyed the first book and I was looking forward to reading this.

Synopsis: Can Apollo’s curse be broken? 

Seventeen-year-old Hope Nicholas is done running. Apollo’s curse has ruled her entire life, limiting her choices and robbing her of the things that matter most. But she refuses to live in fear any longer. In fact, she’s ready to do whatever it takes to break the god’s power over her existence. 


When the goddess Artemis instructs Hope to impersonate a demigod and infiltrate a conservatory to get access to the Olympian library, she doesn’t hesitate. As she sees it, there’s nothing left to lose. 
But once inside, Hope discovers the only way to get what she needs is to work with her sworn enemies. As the lines between demigod and monster are crossed again and again, Hope has to dig deep for the courage to accept her fate or fight for the freedom to save herself. 

Review: I really, really enjoyed this one! This just continued my love for this series and I loved every second of it. I loved how Hope was willing to go into the midst of enemies to be able to find a way to break her curse. I feel like Hope became a better, stronger character after leaving the love interest from the last book and befriending someone else. The tension between her and Xan was amazing and I can't wait to find out what happens to them next. I can't wait to find out what happens next!

Hello fellow readers! I'm sorry if I haven't been posting as often, but I felt like I needed to get away from the blog for a while.
