I was given the opportunity to read this novel by Lauren Palphreyman, early in exchange for an honest review.
Cupid’s match is a fresh and original take on the supernatural teen romance genre. I loved it, I powered through the whole novel in a matter of hours, unable to put it down without thinking about it. There were lots of unexpected twist and turns throughput the novel that stopped me from putting it down. I was able to easily sympathize with the characters and found myself holding my breath as I cheered on Lila and Cupid every time they were together.
There are many times throughout the novel that made my heart swell and many that had me chuckling to myself as I read along.
The novel included mythological and historical characters to help move the story along and it was executed seamlessly and enriched the overall storytelling experience.
My only criticism of the story is that I would have liked to see more of Lila and James relationship in the beginning to be able to feel the full impact that Cupid had on her. In the end though it does not change the quality of the novel.
Other than that one note, I have nothing remotely negative to say about it. I thoroughly enjoyed it and the open ended ending that left me wanting more. I will be buying a copy after release to support the author and I am excited for any sequels that maybe released it the future.
Keep an eye out on October 1st, 2019 for this lovely novel hitting the shelves.
