lifestyles of gods and monsters by emily roberson

However, the execution was awful and this was absolutely the worst book I've read in 2020 so far. A retelling of Greek myths and heroes set in the modern world with a reality TV and Hunger Games-esque twist? What a cool concept! There were a lot of interesting ideas and themes that were presented, especially in relation to the culture of reality TV. Lifestyles of Gods and Monsters had so much potential. And for Ariadne, his life might be the only one worth saving.Īriadne’s every move is watched by the public and predestined by the gods, so how can she find a way to forge her own destiny and save the people she loves? But if she helps him, she doesn’t just endanger her family’s empire―the monster would have to die. If he wins, the contest would end for good.

Their chemistry is undeniable, though, and she can help him survive. He might be acting interested in her just to boost ratings.

When the gorgeous, mysterious Theseus arrives at the competition and asks Ariadne to help him to victory, she doesn’t expect to fall for him. To win means endless glory to lose means death. The biggest moneymaker? The Labyrinth Contest, a TV extravaganza in which Ariadne leads fourteen teens into a maze to kill a monster. Her royal family’s entertainment empire is beloved by the tabloids, all over social media, and the hottest thing on television. Sixteen-year-old Ariadne’s whole life is curated and shared with the world.
