Description
The games continue in the highly anticipated and thrilling follow-up to The Games Gods Play by Abigail Owen.

THE GODS WANT HER DEAD…

HADES WILL BURY THEM.

You’d think I’d have learned by now:

Don’t mouth off to deities.

Don’t fall for the King of the Underworld.

And definitely don’t get dragged into a divine death match where I’m the cursed mortal prize.

But here I am – trapped in Tartarus, humanity’s worst pit stop, squaring off against monsters who make the gods look merciful. Titans, twisted by centuries of rage and ruin, are sealed behind seven ancient locks.

And guess what?

I’m the key.

To escape, I’ll have to survive every horrifying trial they throw at me. To win, I might have to become something the gods never saw coming.

Oh, and Hades?

He’s about to break every rule the gods ever wrote. Because to save me . . . the god of death will burn the world. But if I break free? So do the Titans. And the world won’t just suffer – it’ll beg for the end.

Julie’s Review 

In “The Things Gods Break,” the sequel to “The Games Gods Play,” Abigail Owen takes us on a breathless journey through the treacherous realms of Tartarus, weaving a tale brimming with tension, romance, and mythology. And I could not put it down! 

The story picks up with Lyra trapped in the dark underworld, embroiled in a deadly game of survival orchestrated by the gods. 

You can always rely on Abigail to entertain us, immerse us in a world where ancient deities clash with the remnants of Titans, entangling our heroine in a web of curses and trials. The stakes have never been higher, and the weight of responsibility rests squarely on her shoulders, she isn’t just a player…….she’s the key to salvation. 

We are pulled into the heart of Tartarus, where monsters lurk and danger is ever present. The pacing is relentless, with each trial Lyra faces, it raises tension and pushes her to her limits.

I loved the relationship between Hades and Lyra, watching it grow in book one to this one. It’s not all plain sailing though! (And that’s why you need to read the first book “The Games Gods Play” to understand more.) Their relationship is magnetic, filled with tension and unexpected twists. The romance between them is both a strength and a weakness for the Lyra! 🤐

Hades, is our brooding god of the Underworld. 😉 Hades is not just as a powerful deity, but this guy (god) has feelings (and a few chuckle moments are guaranteed.) He’s definitely growing on me 😝 

Overall, “The Things Gods Break” is a thrilling continuation of the first book, filled with heart pounding action and romantic moments. 

For fans of mythology/fantasy and dark romance, this book is a read that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very last page.
