It felt rushed, flat, little development of the relationship between H and h, however, it's action-packed and I liked how myths blend into urban world.

This book was such a pleasant surprise and really just what I needed!
I love mythology, and reading about gods and mythical creatures in the present day just makes me so damn happy :-)
Character development:
Ariadne is a kick-ass assassin that has the scars to prove she knows her trade. She has a firm understanding of the world and is driven by revenge. Normally I'm not all for the heroine that can do everything herself, but ermm... assassin... she kinda has to or she would live very long, not in her world. So yeah, I really didn't mind her taking care of things herself, it fit her.
Asterion, a sexy club owner and part of the Court of the Underworld. Have I told you yet he's sexy? Fortunately for us, he's also very caring (if a bit overbearing sometimes) and knows how to handle himself in a fight.
Pacing and flow:
Very fluid, very nice pacing! There is a lot of action but not too much at once, well balanced with all the conversations and well... sex.
The book:
The book itself was well written with only a few errors here and there (but nothing that bothered me too much). There is sex described in this book (if that is important to you), I would give it a 4/5 heat level :D
The book is 207 pages long, spread over 25 chapters and told from Ariadne's and Asterion's point of view.
Final thoughts:
This book really was what the doctor ordered. It was an easy and entertaining read. Don't think that because it only had 207 pages it was lacking in the worldbuilding or story department because it didn't. We got enough information to just go with the flow and enjoy. Medusa is next and I can't wait to get started on that one! :D
