For Love or Vengeance by Caridad Piñeiro
3.0
I really really wanted to love this book. Not much is written about the goddess Nemesis, and I wanted to see what the author was going to do with her. Unfortunately, it didn't live up to my expectations. Nemesis really didn't show much of her goddess side, but was constantly trying to repress it. I really wanted to see her go all goddess of vengeance on the bad guys and totally destroy them. Her abusive father, Zeus (another thing that I found disappointing) drove her from Mt Olympus to live among the humans, but if she looses sight of her mission she will become mortal and die. Her partner, Sanchez, was just too good to be true and I got a little tired of hearing about what a great guy he was.
The upside to the story was the case of the murders. They were intriguing and had an amazing concept behind them with a fantastic back story for the bad guys. With just enough information given throughout to keep the reader hooked and trying to figure it out before the characters did. If the book had concentrated on just the suspense and left the romance to the background I would have loved it. So this one gets an overall of 3 stars, 2 for the romance paired with 4 for the suspense.
