“He’s mythologically hot, a little bit wicked, and almost 100% immortal. And he’ll hit you right in the heart…”
Lila Black doesn’t believe in matchmaking, especially not Cupids’s Matchmaking service, whom she keeps getting letters from. Deciding to go confront them, she finds that the agency is not what they seem..
It turns out the matchmaking service is the real deal. As in, actually run by real cupids who don’t look anything like the popular myths portray them as.
But they have a problem with Lila’s match.. He is the original cupid himself. And Cupids CANNOT be matched. Lila is told that she is in grave danger and Cupid, who has gone awol centuries before, will stop at nothing to find her.
Now Lila’s normal teenage world is turned upside down and has exploded into a mythological nightmare overrun by crime-lord sirens, wrathful cupid hit men, magic arrows, and of course the mischievous love god she can’t seem to not fall for…
This book was actually really surprising! I read an excerpt for this on Bookish First and was instantly sucked in from the first chapter. This is the perfect October read because it has that darkness I always crave around this time of year. Cupid is portrayed as a teenage bad boy who doesn’t believe in “Matches”, despite him actually being Cupid.. Which I thought added a fun twist to the classic myth. He knows what danger would come if he were to complete his Match with Lila, yet he seeks her out anyways to see if it is true. Cupid has been lonely for centuries and you get a glimpse of his more human side while getting to know Lila. Lot’s of stolen glances and lingering looks between the two of them.. Until all hell breaks loose! I loved the darker themes besides just romance! If you are a YA lover and like Fantasy you will love this!
