Checkmate by Jaye Pratt

5.0

I loved G.O.D.S. but after that cliffhanger I was NOT ok! Thankfully Checkmate picks up pretty much right where it left off, so we don’t miss anything. Jolie is heartbroken at the loss of Team Hades. She is rightfully very angry at Team Zeus, and wants nothing to do with them. She swears she will never forgive them for their betrayal, no matter how many times they tell her they had no choice. Eventually she sees for herself just how true that is, how they are punished if they fail a mission, and she starts to try to move on from it. As much as I loved Team Hades in book 1, I really started to love Team Zeus in this one. These guys are all genetically programmed to love Jolie, they are literally made for her, and her for them. Even with that, they’re not perfect and they all have issues to work through. But they do work through them eventually. I can’t really say much more without spoiling anything and I really don’t want to do that! Suffice it to say, I loved this book just as much as the first and I absolutely can’t wait for book 3. Highly recommend!!
