Goddess

After accidentally unleashing the gods from their captivity on Olympus, Helen must find a way to re-imprison them without starting a devastating war. But the gods are angry, and their thirst for blood already has a body count. To make matters worse, the Oracle reveals that a diabolical Tyrant is lurking among them, which drives a wedge between the once-solid group of friends. As the gods use the Scions against one another, Lucas’s life hangs in the balance. Still unsure whether she loves him or Orion, Helen is forced to make a terrifying decision, for war is coming to her shores. 

SPOILER! (if you haven't read Starcrossed or Dreamless)

It was more than a year since I read Dreamless and I had forgotten a little bit. I wanted to re-read Starcrossed and Dreamless before picking this up but there wasn't time. So many books - so little time. You know how it is. Anyway, Angelini quickly got me into the story again and I had really missed the world of demigods.

Helen and her friends continues the adventure and is trying to stop a war between the gods and the demigods. It's interesting to follow Helen and her new abilities but also her friends reaction. Claire must be one of the worst friends ever. It seems like everyone of the characters gets their fair share in this book and I'm happy about that. Even in this book, a new character shows up - the siren Andy. Helen rescues her from the hospital and protects her from the god Apollon.

I didn't like that so many things in this book is about jealousy. The triangle between Helen, Lucas and Orion is a bit annoying and Lucas suspicions as well. Luckily there isn't so much focus on that.

This was a great final book in a trilogy but I haven't mind reading a lot more about them! If you haven't read the trilogy yet, I highly recommend it.
