The 11th installment in the New York Times best-selling A TWISTED TALE series asks: What if Meg had to become a Greek god? After Hercules proves he's a true hero and regains his godship, all seems right in the world. That is, until Zeus tells Meg that she can't be with Hercules because she's, well, mortal. Luckily, Hera has a solution, offering Meg a chance to prove herself worthy of a spot on Mt. Olympus--as a god. All Meg has to do is complete a mysterious quest. The mission? Oh, just to rescue her ex's current wife from the Underworld. The ex-boyfriend she saved by selling her soul to Hades. The ex-boyfriend who immediately moved on to someone else while she was stuck in the Underworld. 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? Written by the author of Mirror, Mirror and Conceal, Don't Feel, Jen Calonita's latest twist is sure to delight and surprise.

"Honestlyyyyyyyy I need to read all of these books officially! This book is based off the Disney movie Hercules. If you remember Hercules love interest, Meg, this follows Meg on her journey to become a Greek god. So basically at the end of the movie, if you remember, Hercules chose to become mortal so he could live on earth with Meg. In this book, what if the only way they could be together was for Meg to become a god? In this book you learn Megs story, why she is the person she is, and why she has such a hard exterior. Hera puts Meg on a quest in order to become a hero and live on Mt. Olympus with Herc. Meg makes a lot of bad decisions, and I mean A LOT— I was very mad at her stubbornness throughout the book but it stayed very true to all the characters. Meg must decide whether her love for Hercules is stronger than what she learned while growing up basically alone. The storyline is AMAZING, there are some twists in there and it is a quick read. It kept me reading and interested and they kept throwing in curve balls. If you love Hercules or honestly Greek mythology, definitely read this book. "

"6/10 I love how they sticked to classic mythology points for that. But I felt they didn't give Meg the character devolpent she deserved. Felt more like OPEN YOUR HEART FRIENDSHIP AND LOVE FIXES EVERYTHING I wanted a badass tale of a sarcastic witty female character "

"Less a twisted tale and more a continuation from where the movie dropped off, this is very well told. Megera's story mixed with bits of greek myth, twisted and not, this tale keeps true to the established personalities. Worthy of the disney stamp, it is an exploration of love, sacrifice, and vulnerability. Four and a half stars. "

"This was one of my favorites in the Twisted Tale series. I love how Meg had her own journey in order to become a god and be with Hercules. I feel that this is how the movie should have ended. "
Sydney Spinney
"This one was good, just not my favorite. It isn't a bad book but it isn't the best one in this series. Since there is three authors in this series, it is hard to get used to their different writing techniques. If you have ever seen the movie Hercules, you know Megara is sarcastic, if a bit moody. In this one, she is trying to become a God. She was very mushy which doesn't match her character. The nicknames were also a little overused and we're said a little bit more than in the original."
