Gods Behaving Badly by Marie Phillips

I picked up this ARC at the ALA conference because I thought the concept was cute. And it was. The Greek gods are living in London and losing their powers because no one believes in them anymore. They are up to their tricks, too. Apollo gets in trouble for turning a girl into a tree. Aphrodite gets her son Eros to make Apollo fall in love with someone. And the chaos ensues. A trip to Hades occurs (through the underground system) and an unlikely hero emerges. I thought the book was hilarious, but it is ADULT. I won't be purchasing it for the high school. Greek gods are rated R. And they are all related. Ewwwwww.
