GOODREADS SUMMARY
What a myth-o-maniac! Zeus's version of the myth is completely wrong. That story about ultra-handsome Greek god Cupid and how he met Psyche? Get real! Cupid was a gawky teen god with bad skin and braces. Greek god? He was a Greek geek! It's time to set the record straight. For the first time ever, Hades, King of the Underworld, reveals the true story behind the myths.
REVIEW
We are all familiar with Zeus’ version of Cupid and Psyche’s story. Well, it turns out that Zeus is a bit of a myth-o-maniac, someone who spins wild myths that are not entirely true. Now it’s Hades chance to tell the REAL story.
In this version of the famous myth, Cupid is struggling with typical teen problems when he falls for Psyche. Aphrodite gets jealous of Psyche and things begin to spin out of control. This is most certainly NOT the original myth, but it is an entertaining take-off that had me laughing along.
This series has 8 books that can be read in any order. I want to read them all. They are being re-released with splashy new covers on August 1, 2011.

5 Loved
COVER COMMENTS
Look at goofy geeky Cupid! He has a red robe and red love arrows. Sweet. I love cartoon covers on middle grade books and this is no exception.
