Julia falls for a gorgeous guy who loves adventure and a good adrenaline rush. Turns out he's the god of war, his family runs a global empire, and his mom wants Julia gone.
Ungodly Rich by Katharine McGee reimagines the gods and goddesses of Olympus as the ultra rich, ultra powerful family behind a worldwide corporation. Think Succession, but everyone has magic powers and nobody has ever been to therapy.
The whole thing is a romp. Hera is the scheming future mother in law determined to end her son's romance. Aphrodite is the jealous sister in law happy to help her do it. And Hades is off in a corner running his own quiet plan to topple Zeus.
Saskia Maarleveld narrates, which was a good sign before I ever hit play. She gives Hera a voice that cuts like glass, and I never once lost track of who was who, which is no small thing with a cast this size.
This is a fun pick for a lot of different readers, especially if you love romance, retellings, or watching a wealthy family come apart at the seams. Word is there's a sequel in the works and I'm here for it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Out now.
Grab a copy from Bookshop.org and help out an indie bookstore while you're at it.
