The Crucible Book 1
Lyra has been cursed by the king of the Gods, Zeus, to be unlovable. It’s the time for the Crucible, a contest to crown the King or Queen of the Gods, that happens every one hundred years. Lyra has no love loss for the Gods and is astonished when Hades chooses her as his champion. Now she has to go against others for the enjoyment of the Gods. Hades has tempted her into a deal to break her curse but for her she just wants to get this whole ordeal over with and live to see the other side.
This is the first book in the Crucible series. Lyra is not going to take her fate lightly. With her curse, she knows her self, and it only makes her stronger. Her befriending Zai and learning about friendship was sweet and wholesome. I loved how she broke up Cerberus’s name into three parts, one for each head. The world is modern and the Gods walk among them. I loved reading this book and can't wait to read the next book, The Things Gods Break.

“The gods love to play with us mere mortals. And every hundred years, we let them…
I have never been favored by the gods. Far from it, thanks to Zeus.
Living as a cursed office clerk for the Order of Thieves, I just keep my head down and hope the capricious beings who rule from Olympus won't notice me. Not an easy feat, given San Francisco is Zeus' patron city, but I make do. I survive. Until the night I tangle with a different god.
The worst god. Hades.
For the first time ever, the ruthless, mercurial King of the Underworld has entered the Crucible—the deadly contest the gods hold to determine a new ruler to sit on the throne of Olympus. But instead of fighting their own battles, the gods name mortals to compete in their stead.
So why in the Underworld did Hades choose me—a sarcastic nobody with a curse on her shoulders—as his champion? And why does my heart trip every time he says I’m his?
I don’t know if I’m a pawn, bait, or something else entirely to this dangerously tempting god. How can I, when he has more secrets than stars in the sky?
Because Hades is playing by his own rules…and Death will win at any cost.”
