I love the sound of this and I hope it is setting up a new trilogy because I love the sounds of this and imagine it could be an incredible series.

This week's pick is Lore by Alexandra Bracken
From the #1 New York Times best-selling author of The Darkest Minds comes a sweepingly ambitious, high-octane tale of power, destiny, love and redemption.The cover of this pretty much screams Medusa. The synopsis deals with Greek gods so it is fitting that Medusa would be part of this considering how well known she is from Greek mythology.
Every seven years, the Agon begins. As punishment for a past rebellion, nine Greek gods are forced to walk the earth as mortals, hunted by the descendants of ancient bloodlines, all eager to kill a god and seize their divine power and immortality. Long ago, Lore Perseous fled that brutal world in the wake of her family's sadistic murder by a rival line, turning her back on the hunt's promises of eternal glory. For years she's pushed away any thought of revenge against the man--now a god--responsible for their deaths.
Yet as the next hunt dawns over New York City, two participants seek out her help: Castor, a childhood friend of Lore believed long dead, and a gravely wounded Athena, among the last of the original gods.
The goddess offers an alliance against their mutual enemy and, at last, a way for Lore to leave the Agon behind forever. But Lore's decision to bind her fate to Athena's and rejoin the hunt will come at a deadly cost--and still may not be enough to stop the rise of a new god with the power to bring humanity to its knees.
I love the sound of this and I hope it is setting up a new trilogy because I love the sounds of this and imagine it could be an incredible series.
We have to wait until 2021 to read this, but it'll be a good use of those holiday gift cards!
Expected release date - January 5, 2021
