Abandon by Meg Cabot

This is the first book in the Abandon series and it was awesome!!! Absolutely loved it.  I have to admit I was a little wary of Meg Cabot. Her series the princess diaries just didn't seem like my cup of tea. I've had this book on my flash drive for quite some time and finally decided to give it a whirl.  I'm a sucker for mythology books and a modern twist of a story with gods and goddesses.  So anyways, this involves not hades, but another underworld deity falling in love with a regular human being.  It's mostly a deep love story but there's also plenty of twists and turns and problems that Meg leaves for you to try and think about throughout the story.  The main character, Pierce, has the underworld deity, John, smitten.  He has fallen in love with her and that means underworld creatures such as the furies are after her to make John suffer.  This is such a good love story that is not sappy at all.  As I said there are plenty of other problems that arise and are not just laid out for you, you kind of figure them out along with the characters.  I really want to get my hands on the second book, Underworld.  Very happy reading with this one!!! Especially if you're looking for a great love story without being over the top...
