Summary from Goodreads:
She has a destiny so great
that even the gods fear her.
Constant hallucinations and the frequent conversations with the voices in her head, have earned eighteen-year-old Chloe Clever the not-so-coveted title of "Whack Job" in her home town of Adel, Georgia. Fed up with prescription meds and therapists, she wishes for a life where she is destined to be more than the butt of everyone's jokes and mockery.
Be careful what you wish for has never rung more true.
After a vicious attack and learning that her favorite rockstar is an Olympian god, she is thrust into her new life as the Oracle of Delphi, the prophesier of the future. Setting out to fulfill the prophecy she has been given, Chloe learns of how great she is to become, all the while fighting mythical monsters and trying to outwit the ever-cunning Greek gods who harbor secrets of their own. While on a mission to discover the Most Beautiful, she strives to uncover the mysteries of the demigod Prince who has sworn to protect her with his life…and threatens to win her heart in the process.

GIVEAWAY:
Excerpt:
She
took a long time getting dressed for someone who wore jeans and t-shirts every
day of her life. But from what Mystic had told him, she still had a pretty good
eye for fashion. He smiled to himself. So she was picking out the perfect
outfit for him to see her in. Nice. He wouldn't tell her that it was
unnecessary to try and impress him, that she already had him, and that he
couldn't even comprehend how he had let it happen.
Gods,
he was such a pansy.
She
emerged after several more minutes. "I'm ready." His eyes came up to
meet her.
Bollocks, he was in trouble. She looked sooooo
hot.
She
loved boots, he had noticed, and she wore a pair of short, gray leather ones
with a pirate's cuff at the ankle. Hm, a black frilly blouse. Now that was
something he hadn't expected, but he liked it. Black was very becoming on her and
it was his favorite color. But it was the jeans that drove him mad. Her long
legs were meant to wear the slim, gray-wash denim pants, and when she moved
over to straighten her bed, which he failed to tell her she didn’t have to do, he bit his tongue––hard.
How
dare those pants have studded patches right on her rear end?
Bloody hell. Now he would never stop looking at her ass.

I haven't heard of this story but that cover is really pretty. I like the excerpt too. Thanks for sharing. Lola :)
ReplyDeleteI actually read this one a while ago. Overall, I really liked it! But being the huge mythology fan that I am, I couldn't help but spot some flaws when pertaining to the actual myths. I guess I'm just picky like that. But it was a good read! :)
