I get that the authors are taking the well known and loved movies and altering the plots to be something slightly different. I don’t ever find them actually “twisted”. I will say that I have a sort of love/hate relationship with these books. Despite the amazing tagline, I honestly didn’t know what to expect, and ultimately, I enjoyed this one. The moment I learned that there was going to be a Twisted Tales novel based on Hercules, I knew I needed to read it. Thank you to NetGalley and Disney-Hyperion for the free copy in exchange for an honest review. Written by the author of Mirror, Mirror and Conceal, Don’t Feel, Jen Calonita’s latest twist is sure to delight and surprise. Can Meg put her past behind her and use her quick-wit to defeat monsters and gods alike, including the nefarious Hades? Will she finally figure out her place and contribution to the world? Or will her fear of commitment have her running away from an eternity of godhood with Herc? The ex-boyfriend who immediately moved on to someone else while she was stuck in the Underworld. The ex-boyfriend she saved by selling her soul to Hades. The mission? Oh, just to rescue her ex’s current wife from the Underworld. All Meg has to do is complete a mysterious quest. Luckily, Hera has a solution, offering Meg a chance to prove herself worthy of a spot on Mt. That is, until Zeus tells Meg that she can’t be with Hercules because she’s, well, mortal. After Hercules proves he’s a true hero and regains his godship, all seems right in the world.
