16 year old Kali is the daughter of Eros and is a Cupid in training. While she is out to make a match, she accidentally manages to stick herself with the arrow and is lovestruck. Kali decides to visit the Fates to see if it can be reversed and is given a prophecy.

This was a fun, light read - nice to see some of the Greek gods/goddesses in our modern world. It was cute.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the free arc in exchange for my honest review.

Thank you to Netgalley for providing me with an ARC of Lovestruck by Kate Watson. I've read and reviewed this copy. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Lovestruck is about Kali, a Cupid-in-training who accidentally pricks herself with an arrow and falls in love with a mortal boy named Ben. In order to reverse being "lovestruck" and change her destiny, Kali defies the Fates and goes on a journey of self-discovery.

Lovestruck is a light, fun read filled with Greek mythology. It's funny, heart-warming and fast-paced. The short backstories on different Greek Gods made the writing even more compelling. Very enjoyable and cute.

If you enjoy a good romcom and Greek Mythology, then you will definitely enjoy this book!

Sigh. This is sad. Really thought I would enjoy this Ya fantasy romance but alas, it fell really short and had to DNF it.

*I was given an E-ARC from NetGalley in Exchange for my Honest Review*

I Unfortunately have to give this book 2 stars. I'm not sure where it went wrong. I wasn't a major fan of the writing, and the story it's self was just meh. The plot just didn't pull me in and I couldn't for the life of me connect with the characters. I was really intrigued when I the whole greek mythology we mention, however it just didn't feel right whenever the author would mention one of the greek gods. I always pulled me out of the story, and it could very well be that maybe this book wasn't for me. It's honestly a shame I didn't like it because I really wanted to.

I have to admit Lovestruck by Kate Watson sounded like a lot of cheesy mythology inspired fun. I have a soft spot for Greek mythology and I couldn't resist a story about an Erote, aka a cupid-in-training, who breaks the first rule of the job - accidentally sticking herself with an arrow and falling hard for the target. For me, the mythology aspects were my favorite - Artemis' has some of the best parts even though she's one of the side characters. Unfortunately, Kali really began to grate on my nerves after a while. I don't know maybe I'm getting to old for this stuff, but I do know I'll stick with Rick Riordan's brand of mythology in the modern world.

This book started out so good, but i felt by the end it Kali was just so Whiny and was just complaining all the time. which was disappointing, cause the book had a lot of potential.

*3.25 Stars*

Kali is an Erote, which is basically a Cupid (since the romans stole their religion and renamed most things). For months now, shes's been very unsure of her calling and being Eros daughter hasn't exactly helped. She's been messing up a lot and screwing up matches, until she really messes up and sticks herself on an arrow, matching herself with a mortal.

This was a fun, light read. I had a good time reading the drama between all the gods, I do love a good Greek mythology story. But I was often a bit bored. Still, the characters were fun and I liked getting to know them. I liked the secondary characters, they were kinda fun. My main issue was how straight this was, like as Erote, Kali and her best friend, assumed a woman's match had to be with a man without even knowing anything about the person. And all the discussed matches were between a man and a woman. Even withing the Greek god, everything was m/f and I don't know as much as I wish I did Greek mythology wise but I do know it's very much not all m/f.
Anyway, that kinda bugged me but other than that, this was kinda cute and fun.

Kali a 16 yearI’ll keep it in training on the lip the size mountain of trouble don’t stick yourself this this story. I think it was enjoyable. I really love green mythology so I’m a big fan of this book.This book was Provided to me by Net Gallet for an honest review. The whole idea of you being in Trina West Virginia it was a cute story the main character was very The hold are you it was a cute story the main character Have a very stand off fish at it to me so it was hard to like her. The plant was OK but it was also very pretty. I think the best part of the book with the group without lettin have a very standoffish attitude to me so it was hard to like her. The plant was OK but it was also very pretty. I think the best part of the book what is the Greek mythology. I think the book is great for teens.

Thank you to Netgalley and Flux for an E-arc in exchange for an honest review.

I’m going to start this review by saying I LOVE Greek mythology retellings, it’s one of my absolute favorite things to read and I Highly enjoyed this book. When I was reading the beginning of the book my first thought was that it was going to be just like every other YA contemporary romance novel but I was wrong and I loved the twists and the direction the book took!

We have Kali, Greek Goddess, Cupid in training. Her life was going amazingly until one day she had a thunderclap and everything she thought she knew about fate and destiny was changed. With her feelings towards match making changing she doesn’t want the fates making her decisions for her anymore.

One bad match turns into one horrible mistake, kali needs to figure out herself and her passion within her life to rewrite her destiny, can she do it or will it all fall away with every twist of the story?

I would highly recommend this book to anyone who needs a soft, but twisty love story and also to someone who loved Greek Mythology.

I wasn't into romance until recently and Lovestruck brought me down the rabbit hole. I couldn't put this book down, it was great!

I had a blast reading Lovestruck. The novel is full of humor, and our protagonist, Kali, gets into so many messes as she tries to figure out her life, leading to a fun and entertaining read. I do have two complaints though. I had a difficult time remembering who was who at first, and didn’t get fully immersed into the story until the 40 percent mark. Despite this, I had a wonderful time with the latter 60 percent, and would recommend the book! I’m interested to read more of Kate Wash in the future!

Full review to come on publication date.

Not for me. I disliked Kali from the start and never changed my mind about her. Also this was just way to juvenile for me. I know it was billed as YA, but it's definitely on the younger side. The plot and characters were predictable and simplistic. Maybe this would appeal to a younger reader.

When I saw this book on netgalley I couldn't help but request it because it seemed like a very 'me' type book. It's got Greek gods, it's YA, and it's romance. Also, it seemed really fun with things taking place in the modern world. And, here's the thing, I did enjoy this book, but I also couldn't help but feel like something was missing.

This book takes place in a world where the Greek gods still exist, living in a sort of hidden dimension away from humans but still doing their assigned jobs in the human world. Also, the gods have continued to have their ranks grow as generations of new gods and goddesses are born and assigned to go into different roles after attending a sort of god training school. Kali is the youngest daughter of Eros and Psyche and is a young love goddess (matchmaker) in training, but she really wants to be a Muse and inspire humans in the arts. She's not a great cupid and keeps messing up her matches, much to everyone's despair (especially her parents). She has a little bit of a crush on a high school boy who happens to be a in a rock band, but she really messes up when she accidentally pricks herself with her own arrow making herself fall instantly in love with him. She goes to live on Earth to be near him and try to figure out a way to break the magic love spell. She's accompanied by a few other gods and goddesses in the mortal world and hijinks ensue.

One of my friends took one look at the blurb and said told me what he thought was going to happen and I have to say he was spot on. One of the major parts of the story here--who is Kali going to end up with--is extremely predictable. Yes, it's a fun book but I also knew a lot of how it would go because it's how so many of these stories go. There weren't many surprises. Even most of the side plots were easy to see unfolding in a certain pattern. And you know, that's perfectly fine as long as something else elevates the story--great prose, stand out characters, awesome setting, etc. But everything about this felt incredibly average. The characters were good but I feel like I've seen all of them before in other stories--they're not so much characters as caricatures at this point. I was hoping for something a little more original--especially with such a fun premise.

I was torn on how modern the gods were. On the one hand, I don't expect gods to remain as they were thousands of years ago, especially all the kids from the new generation of gods. Of course they're going to be modern. But they also didn't feel very god-like? They felt too much like normal kids. I would have liked them to feel a bit more of other-worldliness. Gods are not humans and although they may mimic humans sometimes, they're capacious when it comes to humanity. I wish I would have felt some of that. Otherwise they're just magic/super-powered humans.

One of the things that I did really love about the book is that it's not just about who Kali ends up with. The book is about Kali learning to love herself and decide what she wants her future to be. I always think that's a worthy theme to explore, especially in YA fiction, especially for things like this that feel they skew to the younger side of YA.

Overall, I still had fun reading this because I didn't really take it that seriously, it's a quick and light read, so if that's what you want then maybe check this out. But if you're looking for something a bit more elevated or original I don't know if this will be a great fit for you. 3 stars.

A 26 year old beach rat with long rat and a string of one night stands is looking for love.fate only will decide what happens to his love life not loves arrow.The girl he may be destined for is on vacation from North Dakota and is only 15 years old.

LOVESTRUCK was such a light, fun read. It's what I call a "bubblegum" read. It's sweet and easy to get through. It's a shame it won't be released until April, because it would be the PERFECT Valentine's read!

Kali is a cupid in training, practicing how to make the perfect matches for mortals, when she accidentally sticks herself with an arrow and falls in love with a mortal boy.

The concept itself was so fun! I liked Artemis's character in the book. I also really liked how the story resolved in the end.

While all of the Greek mythology references & made-up slang were funny at first, I felt they were overused and made me roll my eyes at times.

Also, I did not really like Kali, the main character. She was whiny and selfish and didn't have enough redeeming qualities to make me care about her.

Overall, it was fun to read once, but I probably won't ever read it again.

I received an ARC of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
Overall, this book was somewhat entertaining, albeit pretty forgettable. I did not connect with any of the characters at all, and I found Kali, the main character, pretty unlikeable. None of the other characters stood out in any way at all, either. As a result, I did not care in any way for the romance in this novel. I found both Kali and Ben irritable and their relationship extremely predictable. I think the overall predictability of the plot wouldn’t have been a huge problem if the characters had been more likeable, at least to me.
Another issue I’ve had with this book was the Greek mythology aspect: I would not recommend this to people who are not familiar with Greek mythology at all. A lot of names and locations are thrown at you, and while some are very briefly explained, overall the book assumes the reader to already have some prior knowledge. I was drawn to this book because of the Greek mythology aspect - I found the idea of following the story of a cupid-in-training very interesting. Personally, I think this had a lot of great potential, but it did not entirely satisfy me.
The writing was quick and easy, but I think that also added a level of shallowness to the story, because most of the time I was confused about what was really going on, and I had a hard time envisioning the scenes I was reading about.
I think, overall, if you’re looking for a fast, easy read this is an enjoyable book. But I think this would be better suited for a younger audience.

Greek gods in the modern age, doing their job.
This is story is about growing up, discovering true love and building friendships, all through the eyes of a teenager inmortal training to become a match-maker. The Olympus serves as a background for all that Kali, Deya, Cosmo and Hector have to experience before finding their happy endings.
Thanks Netgally and the publisher for my ARC of this book.

This was so good. It took a bit to grab me, but when it did I couldn’t put it down until I finished it. I loved the mythology intertwined with the modern world, the “mortie” side characters, and the romance.

Seriously, an adorable quirky book! If you like Greek Mythology (Which I love) then this is the book for you as it puts a nice spin on it and shows a true sense of family throughout the Gods.
The daughter of Eros, Kali accidentally strikes herself with one of her cupid arrow winds up falling in love with a mortal who should was actually supposed to match with another mortal.

The whole book was just adorable with a cute story. Its a fun read!
