Gr 9 Up-Rachel Patel is a Hedoness. With her power, she can cause a man to lose his free will and do whatever she tells him. But she doesn't want to use her abilities; she wants to get through training so she can go on to become a social worker and help people, rather than bend them to her will. But when her closest friend and fellow Hedoness uses her power to take control of a boy in a public park, suddenly Rachel finds herself on the run from not only the police, but from the Hedoness' ruling Committee. The sweet cover and lighthearted blurb may trick some readers into thinking they're getting a fun, cheery read, but the fear Rachel has for her future, family, and friends is very real. There are some cute moments in this title, and it is far from being truly dark, but it is not as easygoing as it may seem. The characters feel genuine and have an appropriate amount of depth. The book features a diverse cast of main characters and various family makeups. VERDICT Recommended for libraries where love stories and mythology-based fiction is popular.

What if you had the power to make any boy fall in love with you? Addictive romance with a fantasy twist for fans of Holly Smale, Ally Carter, and Zoe Sugg.
The gods are gone.
The people have forgotten them.
But sixteen-year-old Rachel Patel can't forget - the gods control her life, or more specifically, her love life.
Being a Hedoness, one of a strong group of women descended from Greek God Eros, makes true love impossible for Rachel. She wields the power of that magical golden arrow, and with it, the promise to take the will of any boy she kisses. But the last thing Rachel wants is to force someone to love her . . .
When seventeen-year-old Benjamin Blake's disappearance links back to the Hedonesses, Rachel's world collides with his, and her biggest fear becomes a terrifying reality. She's falling for him - a messy, magnetic, arrow-over-feet type of fall.
Rachel distances herself, struggling to resist the growing attraction, but when he gives up his dream to help her evade arrest, distance becomes an insurmountable task. With the police hot on their trail, Rachel soon realises there are darker forces hunting them - a group of mortals recruited by the gods who will stop at nothing to preserve the power of the Hedonesses - not to mention Eros himself, who is desperate to reverse the curse . . .
Prepare to fall under the spell of Wattpad star Rebecca Sky, in this compulsive romance.
