Kiss the boys and make them
cry...
The gods are gone.
The people have forgotten
them.
But sixteen-year-old Rachel
Patel can't forget - the gods control her life, or more specifically, her love
life.
Being a Hedoness, one of a strong group of women descended from Greek God Eros, makes true love impossible for Rachel. She wields the power of that magical golden arrow, and with it, the promise to take the will of any boy she kisses. But the last thing Rachel wants is to force someone to love her . . .
When seventeen-year-old Benjamin Blake's disappearance links back to the Hedonesses, Rachel's world collides with his, and her biggest fear becomes a terrifying reality. She's falling for him - a messy, magnetic, arrow-over-feet type of fall.
Rachel distances herself, struggling to resist the growing attraction, but when he gives up his dream to help her evade arrest, distance becomes an insurmountable task. With the police hot on their trail, Rachel soon realizes there are darker forces hunting them - a group of mortals recruited by the gods who will stop at nothing to preserve the power of the Hedonesses - not to mention Eros himself, who is desperate to reverse the curse . . .
Rachel must learn to do what no Hedoness has done before - to resist her gift - or she'll turn the person she's grown to love into a shadow of himself ... for ever.

My Rating: 5 stars
My Recommendation: High
Oh Wow! What a fun, entertaining read. Right from the start we are tossed into this weird intriguing world of the greek gods. The writing was smooth, easy to follow and the flow and pace were perfect. I never once felt lost or confused.
I will warn you this book ends in a cliffhanger.. my hart hurts a little, cause I wasn't expecting that. I can't wait to get my hand son the next book! I believe this series is going to be freaking wicket. This book is what I have been waiting for. The perfect set up to a series that didn't read like a set up. No major info dumping to just telling me how things are.
Bravo!
Take my super high recommendation that you will get lost in this magical world.
Happy Reading.

After graduating high-school, Rebecca Sky set
out on a five-year, 24 Country exploration to find herself. She slept in a
hammock in the Amazon Jungle, skinny-dipped off the West African Coast, ate
balut and climbed the chocolate hills in the Philippines, and fell in love in
Cuba (then again in Brazil, and a final time to a Rocker from Canada). Rebecca
returned home to the West Coast captivated by the world and ready for another
adventure.
So she did what every wanderer does when
standing still—began writing. Her work has since garnered over 20 million reads
on Wattpad, and she’s had the opportunity to partner with some really great
brands. She was featured in The New York Times and The Boston Globe, (check out
those articles here). Her debut Arrowheart, book one in THE LOVE CURSE series
is published by Hodder Children's Books a division of Hachette Book Group.
