After accidentally unleashing the gods from their captivity on Olympus, Helen must find a way to re-imprison them without starting a devastating war. But the gods are angry, and their thirst for blood already has a body count.
To make matters worse, the Oracle reveals that a diabolical Tyrant is lurking among them, which drives a wedge between the once-solid group of friends. As the gods use the Scions against one another, Lucas’s life hangs in the balance. Still unsure whether she loves him or Orion, Helen is forced to make a terrifying decision, for war is coming to her shores.
In Josephine Angelini’s compelling conclusion to the masterfully woven Starcrossed trilogy, a goddess must rise above it all to change a destiny that’s been written in the stars. With worlds built just as fast as they crumble, love and war collide in an all-out battle that will leave no question unanswered and no heart untouched.

Why I'm Wishing...
I loved have really enjoy both books in this trilogy so far! I didn't even realized it was coming to an end so soon! I'm really anxious to see how things wrap up in this final installment. I have a love for mythology and Gosh, I love these covers!

Breathless by Brigid Kemmerer

Too many secrets. Not enough time.
Nick Merrick is supposed to be the level-headed one. The peacemaker. Since it’s just him and his three hotheaded brothers against the world, that’s a survival tactic.
But now he’s got problems even his brothers can’t help him survive.
His so-called girlfriend, Quinn, is going quick as mercury from daring to crazy. Meanwhile, Quinn’s dancer friend Adam is throwing Nick off balance, forcing him to recognize a truth he’d rather shove back into the dark.
He can feel it—-the atmosphere is sizzling. Danger is on the way. But whatever happens next, Nick is starting to find out that sometimes nothing you do can keep the peace.

Breathless was an interesting read and twist in the Elemental series by Brigid Kemmerer. I adore this series to pieces! I love finding out all the about each of the Merrick Brothers and I've always been curious about Nick. I've never really liked him all that much, but found that I've always wanted to get into his mind to find out more about him. And this novella definitely helped me figure out some things about him. Thanks so much to Netgalley for providing me with an eARC! All thoughts are my honest opinion.
