This was fun but even more stilted than the first. Mythology brought into the modern world is always fun. Can't help but love Cupcake.

The best part of about this book is how utterly ludicrous the entire thing is. Nothing makes sense, it's all ridiculous, everyone just rolls with everything so easily. I'm almost positive that no one asked for this book (not complaining!), and boy oh boy did she deliver.

I don't know how else to say this but this book is just fun?

Initially I wasn't sure if this would live up to the first book, and I figured it would be more of a three star read, but as the book went on it climbed up to four. So, the same as I rated book one.

I enjoyed following Luke and Callie on yet another hellish adventure, and I loved the inclusion of Sean in this one, he grew on me instantly.

The romance developed, although not as much as I hoped it would, but they still make a cute couple. I'd love to read even more books featuring them in the future.
