My Review: I love, love, love mythology. And as much as I love the original myths, I love modern versions or contemporary spins on them even more. So of course, when I saw this book mentioned, I had to hunt it down. And this story is a mix of everything I enjoy - one part Greek mythology, one part contemporary love story where two broken people come together.
This was a very well-written story. I was hooked very early on, mostly because I love how this author modernized the Greek Gods, especially their feuds. But even though they're not thousands of years older, it doesn't mean they don't still have the same faults - and Staci Hart did an exceptionally good job making these larger-than-life characters believable and almost.. human. And on top of that, she made Dead and Lex equally as believable, and likable - despite their flaws.
I can't wait to see where this series goes in the future!
Cover Lovin': Very awesome cover!
Recommendation: No prior knowledge necessary.
Final Rating: FOUR out of FIVE stars (4/5)! Can't wait for book two!
Happy Reading!

About Paper Fools:
Aphrodite knows love — just don’t ask her to figure out her own mess. Rather than deal with her sticky love life, she toys with the hearts of unwitting humans. It’s a little game she plays, and the stakes are high. Lucky for her, she’s just found the perfect match. Lex is everything Dean needs, but he can’t have her. It doesn’t matter that her eyes speak to a long forgotten part of him, or that her art and poetry touch his shredded heart. She’s off limits — crossing that line would implode his band and everything he’s ever cared about. There’s only one option: stay away from her, no matter the cost. Even if the price is his heart. Dean is everything Lex wants, but she can’t take the risk. The second she meets him, she knows her heart is in danger. She’s convinced it’s only attraction that has her hung up on the dark, quiet lead singer, but with every day that passes, she knows it’s more. It’s just that she can’t put her heart on the line. She won’t — love has never been worth the sacrifice. If only they knew they were just pawns in a much bigger game. And in the game of love, Aphrodite never loses. *Formerly titled Deer in Headlights, Paper Fools has been rewritten and reedited for your enjoyment.*Amazon
