About this listen

"Like Icarus, you flew too close to the sun. Someone had to bring you back down to reality. You don’t belong with princesses, heroes, or demigods."

Ever since Medusa unwittingly crossed her school’s resident mean girl, her life has been hell.

If only she could keep her distance from Perseus who has a knack for always being in the wrong place at the right time.

But rivalry goes too far when a curse that can destroy the village is cast.

Only the favor of the gods can reverse it, but the gods are vengeful and not always forgiving.

This story tells us about the origins of the mythical creature known as Medusa.
It's a very interesting and original explanation, that of being an unjust curse by a god. I'm only sorry that such a short tale doesn't leave a lot of room to expand on the other characters, specially the jealous girl that causes the tragedy, or, more important, the aftermath - everybody loves a bit o payback, right? ;)
The narration is very good and engaging, even though I kept listening her name as "Medissa". I wonder if it's really pronounced like that in english... (I'm portuguese FYI)

Short but very interesting

Although Ali Winters has been on my radar (and my Kindle) for a while now, this is the first time I've actually read (or, in this case, listened to) any of her work.

I really enjoyed it. This was a short YA paranormal romance set in the realm of the gods—an original premise for sure, and a feel-good twist on a classic myth, narrated beautifully by Sarah Puckett who really did bring these characters to life. It's short, and usually I prefer my reads a little longer for development purposes, but Winters has the pacing well and I certainly didn't feel like it was rushed.

I'm greatly looking forward to reading more.

This is a very unique story. I really enjoyed it. The narrator was very great as well. This is a great book for something short and sweet. Something you can listen to all in one sitting. Like while doing chores or working out. It adds a nice twist to Greek mythology as we know it.

My only critique is that it just wasn't long enough. I felt like there were many issues that should have been enhanced upon. I'd of liked to see more scenes that were mentioned or referenced but not really put in. That being said, it was great the way it was. I fully recommend.

Love it!

My only complaint about this story is that it ended. I wanted more! I love the characters and world. I can't wait to listen the the next books!

As I have mentioned before about this narrator, is I wish there was more of a variation in voices. Other than that, it was done well.

I need more!

The story of Madusa is well known, but this a twist to her love story. This story was how every story has two sides. Madusa was always the bad person in all the stories, but maybe she wasn't the bad one after all. A great short story read by the great narrator Sarah Puckett.

I've never thought much of Medusa's story and how she became the mythical creature she's so famous for. However, this story paints a picture many people, especially young people, can relate to. Jealous, lies,misunderstandings,unrequited love,and love not yet given a chance to bloom turns a beautiful outcasted girl who just wants to survive school and serve her goddess into a monster feared by almost everyone. But there may have a bit of hope from the one she'd thought would be the first to abandon her. I can't wait to see what happens next!

I really enjoyed this book. Sarah did an amzing job voicing all the characters. I look forward to reading more of Ali Winters stories and Sarah is fast becoming one of my favourite narrators.

Really good book!

I wasn't quite sure where this was going to go, but suddenly it all made sense as it progressed. I really enjoyed it. The characters were brought beautifully to life by Sarah Puckett and I could feel them around me as I listened. I would love this story to carry on more as I am intrigued by the characters, but saying that it is short but perfectly formed.
