Astrid Arditi

A hero's tournament. A defiant contender. Does one girl have the courage to take on Mount Olympus? Olympian Challenger is the first book in a bold YA urban fantasy trilogy. If you like Greek mythology, forbidden romance, and feats of courage, then you'll love Astrid Arditi's heroic coming-of-age tale.

i really liked this book. It was a great mix of urban and fantasy, and a nice touch of mythology. I really enjoyed the romance aspects, as well as the world building and strong series opener. The characters were strong and likeable, a solid read.

When Hope is trying to save a guy from drowning she finds herself on Mount Olympus among the Gods and other kids her age and they all got the invitation to be competing in a challenge to be the next hero of the Olympian Gods. It happens that every kid is descendent from a Greek God.

Hope is not interested in being anyone’s hero. All she wants is to get back to earth and be with her mother. Unfortunately, the only way out is to drink from the river Lethe which means to forget everything and who you are.

Hope decided to stay and to win because the winner will be granted one wish by the Gods. But to be able to have a chance to win she needs a Godly sponsor, which does not look to be an easy task for her.

If it would not be for Kieron, Son of Hades, who sees more in her as she does herself. Of course, he only chooses her to make a bet against his father. But quickly turns out that he really thinks that Hope can be the hero he is waiting for, for so long.
