The Love Delusion
LOVE IS . . . A MYTH?
That's the belief of Frida McKenzie, devoted member of The Love Delusion movement, determined to cure humans of our ridiculous obsession with love.
But there's something she's forgotten...
When Frida finds a mysterious picture of herself with a man she barely knows, the certainties she has about her world begin to unravel.
What are the sinister roots of the cult that seems to have gripped humanity? Why can't she remember anything about her life before - including the strange(ly attractive) man in that picture? And just when exactly did she take up fantasy role play?
As a battle approaches that's been millennia in the making, it's beginning to look like there's only one question that really matters: if love conquers all, what happens when it's gone?

"Review"
The Love Delusion by Nicola MostynMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
::..Reviewed for Red's Midnight Readers..::
I was very kindly offered an ARC of this in exchange for an honest and unbiased review. I have given it 3.5 stars.
Going into the book, I didn't realize that it was in fact book two of a duology, which slightly changes how I feel about it.
It's actually a really good read, I initially felt like something was missing but now I know it was a whole other book but it can be read without it. We meet two people who are running from something but we don't know what that is, skip forward two years and we meet the same two people who now have no clue who the other one is.
This is a modern fantasy adventure story, that puts a modern twist on Greek mythology, think of it as a romantic Percy Jackson. I had no clue what to expect when I dived into this book and once I started getting into the story, I found I couldn't put it down.
Strong kick ass female characters and plenty of action make this a story not to be missed.
