Description
A week away from graduating and all Hannah Summers has to do is make it across campus in high heels without falling over, turn in her senior thesis, and meet Carl, her very nice boyfriend, for dinner with his rather awful parents. A straightforward plan. What could possibly go wrong?
Unfortunately for her, quite a bit. The Greek gods she’d studied in school are about to put a major wrinkle in her carefully crafted future. Though the Olympians are no longer worshiped, they are immortal and need to make their way in the modern world. Apollo, god of the Sun, meets a publicist who convinces him that the time is ripe for a comeback, complete with a marketing strategy for re-branding himself. All he needs is a descendant of Cassandra’s.
Much like her ancestor, Cassandra, Hannah’s life is about to veer way off course, and the events that follow will challenge her ingenuity, her relationships, and possibly her life…..

A Note From the Publisher
Revealing Hannah the Myth of Cassandra is also available in Kindle and Hardcover.
Revealing Hannah The Myth of Cassandra is the 1st book in the Greek Myth Series. Revealing Hannah The Myth of Arachne is due out in early 2016.
Laura Fedolfi grew up in Chichester, NH, where she shared a bedroom with her patient sister, Barbara, who she inadvertently tortured by claiming that she only had one more page to read, and would turn the light out soon. It was never true.
She went to Wesleyan University where she studied Philosophy and English. She had excellent professors, to whom she is grateful. Wesleyan was also where, with her friends, she descended down a manhole in the wee hours of the morning and ran through the hidden tunnels under campus, played football at night in the snow, and in general, had fun. It was there she met the love of her life, who she married soon after.
She has lived on both coasts, finally landing in Chelmsford, Massachusetts, renowned for its ginger ale and friendly population. She and her husband have raised two children, several dogs and a cat with the help of excellent friends and amazing family.

This book is fantastic!
Oh yeah, I received Revealing Hannah as a firstreads giveaway.
There are a few typo's in this book, but I don't know if this is the finished product or not. It looks like the proofreader got so engrossed in the story they forgot to watch for mistakes. It happens.
I like it for so many reasons. There is depth to the characters, they surprise me at times. They evolve and grow as the story progresses.
The concept of gods behaving badly is one Ive read before, but I've not read a story where (spoiler alert) gods from two different cultures mix it up.
Anyone who has read my reviews knows I don't get all that excited by the "message" of the books I read. I know they all have them, but I prefer they not beat me over the head with preaching their message. Revealing Hannah works well for me in that respect. I'll let you read the book and find the message for yourself.
There is intrigue, both political and psychological, unrequited love (lust), sexual tension, humor (lots of humor) and the lampooning of social convention. This book contains all of these elements, and more, without locking into any one of them as the main vehicle for telling the story.
For me, at times the book is laugh out loud funny. At other times it is heartbreaking. It is great sci-fi fantasy. A true heroine-against-her-will fights gods, demons, social convention, boys, parents and herself to save the world. What more could you want?
I almost forgot. What I like most about this book is... THE ENDING! So many books, especially serials tend to resolve the crisis and end the book. If your lucky you get a one or two paragraph epilogue. Not with Revealing Hannah, the author does a great job of getting the characters home and back into their real lives. As a reader, I feel this is truly finishing the story. Thank you Laura Fedolfi for giving me a satisfying conclusion.
Intelligent, witty and fun. Read this book, you won't be sorry.
