Carnivorous Cupid

Stephanie Rose — 2020

Eros. Also known as Cupid. Greek god of love and sexual desire. Sometimes depicted as an adorable, chubby little boy with wings, carrying a bow and arrows, flying around merrily, making everyone fall in love. That's not Eros. Not anymore. Eros is mad. He's all grown up now. And he's on a mission to provoke chaos, starting with humans. Instead of producing love, his arrows now produce hunger. Actual hunger. Cannibalistic, beastly, monstrous hunger. Carnivorous. Is the world ready for a raging Eros? Who can stop the angry god of love from eradicating the human race, two soulmates at a time?***Magnificent cover by Stacey Willis

Greek Mythology and murder mystery rolled into one? I was sold immediately! I liked that it was something different from what I've read in the past with other Greek myth novels. Eros, the God of love, is terrorizing humanity by shooting human victims with his arrows. But instead of falling in love, they become insatiable cannibals that consume each other's hearts. Both humans and gods are horrified by this turn of events and no one understands his motives. Now Aphrodite has been tasked by Zeus to find her son and figure out why he's going on a murder spree. She must go to the mortal realm without her powers and assist FBI agent Lukus in solving the case. Will they be able to figure it out before he is able to kill more? And how will she convince the agent of the truth? I must say that even though I thought I knew where this was going, I was surprised in the end. There is still a lot of suspense leading into the next book in the series and a lot of questions left un answered. I'm excited to say I will definitely be reading the next book to find out what in the name of Hades is going on!
