Review: Awakened Gods by Kristen Campbell

15853454

Description

Lexi has fulfilled her destiny and now the gods have awakened, but is that a good thing?

Now, Lexi lives in a world that is on a global collapse. The gods are angry that they have been forsaken and are seeking revenge on humanity. The oceans are in turmoil, tornadoes, earthquakes, hurricanes, volcano eruptions and famine are causing global chaos, and the sun is being held hostage in an astrological phenomenal, never-ending solar eclipse by the avenging Helios.

Then, there is the problem of Zeus’ threat. Lexi must choose between giving herself to him or watching the “abominable” angels die by his hand. Not to mention, Hera, Zeus’ wife, is proposing her own jealous-driven proposition to Lexi: stay away from her husband or the angels and everyone dear to her will die. Lexi sees no way out of either predicaments and it puts a strain on her relationship with Cole. Will she lose him either way?

My Review

This book was really good for most of the book, kept me glued to the kindle.  There were a few parts that were slow.
I thought this would be the best of the three but it was not.
Alex definitely grew up in this book, I liked seeing this side of him.  Even if we still didn't see much of him.  I thought we would see more of Lexi and Alex's birth parents after book 2, but not the case. Well until the end, then we do.
Oh, the ending!  OMG WTH.   I am very confused at the end, I don't know what happened.  It wasn't a cliffhanger, but it wasn't closure either.  I want to know what happened, no there is no other book-no preview or mention of book 4.
Lexi, while normally very strong was very vulnerable this time around.  She had to fight against Zeus and Hera.  Not to mention being apart from Cole (again) and not the happy reunion she thought she would have with her birth parents.
I am just at a loss.  But I still give it 4 stars for the story itself.
