Winter of the Gods (Olympus Bound, #2)

by Jordanna Max Brodsky

Manhattan has many secrets. Some are older than the city itself.
Winter in New York: snow falls, lights twinkle, and the goddess Artemis prowls the streets looking for prey.
But when a dead body is discovered sprawled atop Wall Street's iconic Charging Bull statue, it's clear the NYPD can't solve the murder without help. The killing isn't just the work of another homicidal cult - this time, someone's sacrificing the gods themselves.
While raising fundamental questions about the very existence of the gods, Artemis must hunt down the perpetrators, tracking a conspiracy that will test the bonds of loyalty and love.

There were a couple of moments that we're just a bit too convenient. But otherwise a fine story, plenty diverting for a few days. I would have given it a four if not for an eye-rollingly convienent development of skill in the last 20 pages.

Selene (otherwise known as Artemis) and Theo are back, and facing some struggles. Their relationship is rocky, and someone has been killing Gods and taking their magical artifacts, but without a clear reason why. Will their relationship survive the coming shock? More importantly, will they and all the humans around them?

Winter of the Gods is book 2 in the Olympus Bound series, and it picks up not terribly long after the events in book 1. As in the first book, the author has done an excellent job weaving factual history and beliefs into a fiction story. There were a few times when the concepts being covered in the story sort of made my head spin, but overall it wasn't a huge issue.

There are a few unexpected surprises waiting in this book (no spoilers), and an ending that will definitely leave the reader wondering how things will play out in the next book. Overall, I am really enjoying this series, and will be looking forward to book 3 when it comes!
