Zeus has decided that the gods and goddesses have grown spoiled and arrogant and could benefit from learning how not to take things for granted...and so sends them to Las Vegas. This edict doesn't sit well with Bacchus. After all, he's made this city his eternal playground. When Pamela Smythe, interior designer, makes a wish for a god-like man, Artemis finds herself somehow bound to fulfilling it, and convinces her twin brother brother Apollo to be what Pamela needs.

I found the story somewhat slow to kickstart and a large part of that is probably due to the fact that I was confused about which characters belonged where and with whom. The book does hit its groove after that, though. If you're into paranormal romances with Greek gods and bright lights then you'll probably enjoy Cast's novel. Personally, I think this was an average read and I have to admit that I won't be looking for more in this series.
