Warrior Rising (P.C. Cast)


Goddesses Hera, Athena, and Venus have had it up to here with the Trojan War. So much devastation - all because of some silly male egos. The worst of the bunch is Achilles, the Greek champion whose powers have made him practically invincible. To stop him would be to end the war. But the only way to stop a man like Achelles is to distract him - with something far more pleasurable than combat...

The three goddesses seize their chance when a twenty-first-century beauty named Kat and her best friend perish in a car crash in Tulsa, Oklahoma. In no time, they shift the friends' souls into the bodies of a Trojan princess and her handmaiden, having no doubt that Kat will catch achilles' attention. But can her independent, fiery spirit match the unquenchable fire of his epice rage? Goddess only know...

I was so excited to read this book. I love mythology! When you throw in some modern with the ancient, it just gets better.

I was disappointed. Not necessarily by the story. The author had some great bones to it but she was obsessed with sex and had way too much swearing from her characters.
