It's not like I had a whole lot of time to think about it, because my best friend Theo killed the joy with a sucker-punch to Kai's pretty face and dragged me away. How was I supposed to believe that somehow I was a G.o.ddess and everything I knew about my entire life was wrong? I was pretty sure someone spiked the punch at the Halloween dance (par for the course at this school). When Kai and I kissed, here's what flashed before mine a Mount Olympus, Zeus, the Underworld, Hades, and you. They say when you die, your whole life supposedly flashes before your eyes. Who knew when I was cramming Greek mythology for my English final, I was studying the family tree? Afterward, well, let's just say everything changed. The point is, before he showed up, I thought I was human. Anyway, he was really hot and there was this bone-melting kiss and.whatever. It had to be Kai, son of Hades, Lord of the Underworld. And of course, being me, it couldn't just be any bad boy. I was stuck here at Hope Park Progressive School on probation again ("mouthy behavior"), dealing with cliquish poseurs, rampant hormones, blah blah blah. My life sucked in your typical 16-year-old ways. See, yesterday, I was plain old Sophie Bloom. Sorry for not having written sooner, but until about 12 hours ago, I didn't know you existed. Literally and in every way.Ĭheck out Tellulah Darling's next novel Sneak Peekĭear Your Royal Imperialness Demeter, G.o.ddess of Grain and Fertility, Preserver of Marriage, and Bringer of Seasons, Or can I just call you Mom?īet you never thought you'd be hearing from me. This book would not have been possible without you both. You put up with my writing zone outs with grace and humor. I hope that I do you proud.Īnd last, but certainly not least, none of this matters without the love and encouragement of Loreto and Chiara. There is no way for me to express my grat.i.tude to my family for their love, food, and child care. You went way above and beyond the call of duty and I am deeply indebted to you and your brilliance. Thank you as well to my friends who provided encouragement, writing guidance, and help pimping the book.Ī million thanks to my designer, Mark Stuckert.
First off, enormous grat.i.tude to my guinea pigs-I mean readers: JMac for throwing down dude speak, Stacey for ensuring Ally was all in her head, Elissa for pushing me beyond the obvious, and Franny for making sure everything read true. This book owes a huge debt of thanks to many people. And with a short run, we leap and fly into the unknown.
