Most Wanted Reads: Antigoddess by Kendare Blake

Most Wanted Reads is inspired by Waiting on Wednesday hosted/created by Breaking the Spine. I just wanted to personalize it a little bit for me.

OFFICIALLY MY MOST ANTICIPATED YA NOVEL

 

Old Gods never die…

Or so Athena thought. But then the feathers started sprouting beneath her skin, invading her lungs like a strange cancer, and Hermes showed up with a fever eating away his flesh. So much for living a quiet eternity in perpetual health.

Desperately seeking the cause of their slow, miserable deaths, Athena and Hermes travel the world, gathering allies and discovering enemies both new and old. Their search leads them to Cassandra—an ordinary girl who was once an extraordinary prophetess, protected and loved by a god.

These days, Cassandra doesn’t involve herself in the business of gods—in fact, she doesn’t even know they exist. But she could be the key in a war that is only just beginning.

Because Hera, the queen of the gods, has aligned herself with other of the ancient Olympians, who are killing off rivals in an attempt to prolong their own lives. But these anti-gods have become corrupted in their desperation to survive, horrific caricatures of their former glory. Athena will need every advantage she can get, because immortals don’t just flicker out.

Every one of them dies in their own way. Some choke on feathers. Others become monsters. All of them rage against their last breath.

The Goddess War is about to begin.

 

I've wanted this book ever since I heard about it last year and it had been set for release for more than a year?! UGH! Damn me for discovering a wicked ass book with a release wait longer than a year. I'm still going crazy waiting for it.

I"m a huge mythology fan with anything pertaining to gods and goddesses! I hope this is the book for me and the book is as awesome as the synopsis! I am ready for this book now! I haven't read anything by Kendare Blake, but I'm looking forward to checking her out!
