P.C. Cast Goddess Summoning series seems to be based on simple story lines and uncomplicated characters. This book follows that lead. Normally, I would not judge so harshly since the book was pretty much what I expected after reading Goddess of Spring and Goddess of the Sea but Cast did one thing that I cannot stand, name dropping. The book read like an advertisement, especially at the beginning thought she did lay off the name brands towards the end. Pamela was not a leading lady I cared for. First, she was sort of a snob, since it her character that mentally noticed all the name brands. She also seemed very judgmental toward her client and men in general. She did tone down as the romance progressed, but I don't think she did anything to earn Apollo. Apollo was a nice leading man but I can't figure out why he has one conversation with Pamela and knows that she is his soul mate. The man has lived for eons and has never found one person more interesting than Pamela? Seriously? Artemis came off exactly how the author wrote her. Self assured, selfish, self absorbed. She was an excellent supporting character. Bacchus read as disgusting. The visual imagery was shuddering. As an antagonistic for the book he was superb. Cast wrote him as a hateful, abusive character and he was just that. The reasons why he was targeting Apollo and Pamela are shaky, though jealousy has always been more than enough motivator; it just seemed to come up in the story suddenly and without explanation.

This is a well written book that I definatly enjoyed. The story as a whole has good substance, but I felt the ending kind of fizzes out. As good as the rest of the book, I expected something more for the end.
