Written by Lauren Palphreyman, Cupid’s Match follows Lila Black as she learns that she is Cupid’s (the Cupid’s) match. Which is to say, he is her true love. And, because Cupid has been a very bad boy and because he isn’t supposed to have a match, she is now in mortal peril.
This novel is definitely a YA novel, the main character is 17, and the writing comes off on that YA level. If you don’t like to read YA, I don’t recommend reading this story.
The plot was interesting, and I believe will be a trilogy, and the main three characters had a lot of depth, but I didn’t know how to take the supporting characters. We really don’t get a whole lot of time with her boyfriend, and the best friend sends a lot of mixed signals.
The concept is really, really interesting, and I read it all the way through to find out the ending. I definitely want to read the other books, it just wouldn’t be an interesting story if you are not into YA urban fantasy with Greek gods and myths.
I was given a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
One thing to note with this, is the fact that this novel was published through Wattpad. For those of you who don’t know, Wattpad is a pretty great site if you enjoy fanfiction or just fiction from first time authors, or a certain style and you don’t care how well it has been edited. I know that I will frequently binge things from there.
Didn’t realize they had a publishing group now as well.
