¿'A dazzlingly imaginative sapphic reimagining of the Cupid and Psyche story' The Guardian
On the island of Zakynthos, nothing is more powerful than Desire-love itself, bottled and sold to the highest bidder by Leandros, a power-hungry descendent of the god Eros.
Eirene and her beloved twin sister, Phoebe, have always managed to escape Desire's thrall. Until Leandros' wife dies mysteriously and he sets his sights on Phoebe. Determined to keep her sister safe, Eirene strikes a bargain with Leandros: if she can complete the four elaborate tasks he sets her, he will find another bride. But it soon becomes clear that the tasks are part of something bigger; something related to Desire and Lamia, the strange, neglected daughter Leandros keeps locked away.
Lamia knows her father hides her for her own protection, though as she and Eirene grow closer, she finds herself longing for the outside world. But the price of freedom is high, and with something deadly-something hungry-stalkingthe night, that price must be paid in blood ...

Sapphic love and female rage
Such a beautiful story based on the myth of Psyche and Eros. This book is about strong, independent women who, throughout the story, slowly fight back against the lies and abuse which have shaped their lives. The love story felt incredibly tender and I liked how different familial bonds where explored, both the sweet and toxic kinds. A great recommendation if you love greek mythology! -

Sisterhood and Greek Mythology
I will begin by saying that it was very easy to get hooked into this story. The plot was interesting, the writing flowed well and I liked the heavy use of greek mythology throughout the book. Where it fell a bit flat for me, unfortunately, was that the plot felt predictable throughout the book. The characters could have had a bit more depth, and some of the decision making, especially towards the end of the book, felt like some of the characters lacked the power of logical thought. I would also not really consider this book a romance, as there were maybe ten sentences in the entire book that were romantic. It read more like a story about sisterhood and overcoming seemingly impossible challenges in a village ruled by horrible greedy men.
