Synopsis: Freshman year is just starting, and already Mylee fears her family is falling apart.

Mylee needs advice, so she summons Aphrodite, Goddess of Love and Beauty, her secret confidant.

Tyler is worried about Mylee, his best friend and teammate. Already sad about her family woes, he’s livid that Slimeball Sam is trying to ooze his way into her life. And she seems to be falling for Sam’s act! Worse, Ty is worried all this attention from such a popular guy will place Mylee officially out of his league.

Thank you so much to booktasters and to Stephanie and Ellie Collins for the ebook to read and review. 

Review: Mylee is a freshmen at high school, her life suddenly changes her grandma moves to a home, her mom won’t stop nagging her to join cheer, a popular boy at school won’t stop asking her out and worst yet her parents won’t stop fighting. 

I really loved the creative idea of the hand mirror she finds in her grans collection and that it took you to Aphrodite who wanted her mirror back. It goes to Mylee then having to help her deal with her issues and in return Mylee finds ways to solve her own. 

I really loved Ty and it’s great that this got written with his perspective too, he was probably my favourite character he really loved and adored Mylee and wanted to check on her at all times. Mylee herself was okay there were times I didn’t like her much, but generally she was a really good character. Though I didn’t like some characters (kind of the point of them) they all worked incredibly well in the story.

This was an another incredible book in this series, I also loved that it connected to the first book and we got a little bit of DJ again that was so awesome. I really love how creative Author Ellie Collins is with these books. She is great at finding creative ways to incorporate the Greek mythological characters into a very modern setting and still having it work. She crafts these stories so perfectly. 

If you haven’t read this series yet, I honestly recommend that you do they are easy to read, written so well, fun, funny and creative.
