Gods Behaving Badly by Marie Philips, 293 pages
The Olympian gods have fallen on hard times. Their powers are fading, they are stuck living in a messy falling apart house in London fighting amongst themselves, and some of them have even had to get menial jobs.When Artemis hires a mortal cleaning woman what started as a minor act of revenge between two gods turns into the end of the world, and sadly it is up to two mortals caught in the crossfire to save everyone.
This was a quick fun read, and while the premise isn't anything groundbreaking it is funny and well written. If you enjoy humorous lighthearted takes on mythology then you will probably enjoy this book as much as I did.
