review 1: I'm a big fan of Barbra Annino's Stacy Justice series & for that reason alone I decided to get Sin City Goddess. You can kind of think of it as a modern day Hercules & Xena of Greek Mythology. Barbra brings her usual cheeky humor but with a darker side compared to the light hearted Stacy Justice series. Overall I loved the story. Barbara knows how to spin one heck of an entertaining yarn! I was a bit surprised by the climax of the story because it was somewhat of a let down. The story keeps building & building. Our heroine, Goddesss Tisiphone is getting closer & closer to the ultimate showdown with her enemy. Finally they come to blows & as quick as a peck on the cheek it's over. It was a little too neat, a little too easy, a little too quick for my tastes. That is the onl... morey part of the book that was disappointing. I was so thoroughly entertained by the rest of the book that I cannot knock off a star for this, I would take a 1/2 if I could.
review 2: There are so many books in this genre that I really crave something new...something that hasn't been written to death. I thought I had this when I read the synopsis of this book. I mean, what reader wouldn't like a book somewhat (a tiny bit) along the lines of Anne Bishops Black Jewels Trilogy, with a humanized underworld and a sassy Hades. What reader wouldn't like to read about God's and Goddesses who have taken themselves out of day to day interactions with humans and resigned themselves to staying below ground playing poker and coming to this level to vacation?Unfortunately this book just lacked something...some certain oomph that could have brought it from a passable speculative fiction/mystery/thriller,simply just another book, to a gripping and exciting read that you couldn't put down. Even the sex scenes here have been pretty much done to death.This was merely a book that will keep you reading, but not overly excited about it or mindlessly engaged in it. less
