My Date From Hell by Tellulah Darling
5.0
This review and many others can be found on my blog - Feed Your Fiction Addiction
I LOVED My Date From Hell!! This book included everything I loved about the first book, but it was even better because I was totally on board with Kai and Sophie this time!
The negatives:
Annoying deities.
This is nitpicking, but Aphrodite was really annoying to me. I hated her New York accent (which often made me picture her as a dumb hick instead of a vapid Jersey Shore girl) and she just bugged me. Luckily, she wasn't a huge character in the book, so it wasn't such a big deal that she annoyed me.
What I loved:
Kai and Sophie.
If you read my review for book #1 in this series, you know that I wasn't 100% on board with Kai in the first book. He came off as a little too much of a jerk and I just wasn't feeling him. Well, I'm happy to report that, in this book, that problem was remedied pretty much right from the start. We got to see the softer side of Kai at the beginning of this book. By the time I got to the end, I was on the Kai cheerleading squad! LOVE him!!
Friends.
Just like in the first book, Sophie's friends are a huge part of the book. Hannah was as adorable as ever with her combination of nerdy brains and beauty. Also, Theo softened up a bit with the addition of a love interest (a God - who was great fun!). The fun banter between
Sophie and her friends was just as good as in the first book. You're sure to find yourself laughing at their antics!
The action and the ending.
This book kept me on my toes - it started out with a bang and just kept going that way. Then there was the ending - I did NOT see the ending to this book coming - not at all!! It left me shocked and desperately waiting for book #3!
My Date From Hell is an amazingly funny, exciting read! Greek mythology was never this much fun in school! 5/5 stars.
