Dark Fantasy - Lies Among Gods by Johnna Dee #johnnadee #liesamonggods #netgalley

MY REVIEW

In Lyra Nymphaea’s world, everything revolves around which God you worship. The problem Lyra has, no God has chosen her. She has lost the respect of her family and friends, and is dumped by her boyfriend. She finds out why no God will choose her, that upon her death she will become a Goddess.

There’s a prophecy. In order for her to become a goddess, she will be sent to Aetherfall and will have to pass three trials to earn her place among the gods.

Lyra finds herself pursued by two gods. One is grumpy and standoffish, the other is confident, flamboyant, a Casanova. It didn’t take much for me to figure out which one she would choose.

I love stories about gods and goddesses, especially when the good blends in with the bad and the ugly. It took a while for me to get into the story. To lay the foundation that there were many details that slowed the pacing at times. As I grew to know the characters, I got more involved and the pace picked up and so did my need to know what would happen next.

All in all, Lies Among Gods by Johnna Dee was highly entertaining and well worth recommending. So, if you love gods and goddesses, the good, the bad, and the ugly, and a fantasy filled with highs and lows, you can’t go wrong with Lies Among Gods.

GOODREADS BLURB

Imagine living in a world where all the gods were true. What if you had to apply to worship the gods?

In Lyra Nymphaea’s world, your whole life is based on what God you worship – your job, your relationship, friends, etc. All her life, she had not belonged. She had applied and denied to all deities, except for one. She couldn’t hold down a steady job. Her dating life was trash. People she used to be friends with distanced themselves from her. Because nobody wants to be around somebody who has no God and worships nothing. She applies to the last God in some desperate attempt to find some place to belong, only to be denied again. Then she finds out why…

Upon her death, she will be a goddess and she is supposed to live a life of strife to teach her some form of humility.
Now she is being pursued by two gods. Which will she choose?
