If you’ve been feeling neglected by the Goddess of Love lately, don’t worry – Hannah Maquiling, a college sophomore, is in training to take over. The original Goddess is missing, and now Hannah is the interim Goddess, which means she’d better figure out how to solve humanity’s love problems as soon as possible. She’s still under the supervision of Quin, the impossibly handsome God of the Sun. He’s great to look at, very hot but apparently not as open about his earthly relationships as Hannah thought. It’s frustrating, enough to make her explore other options with Diego, the mysterious God of the Sed, and Robbie, a cute, ordinary campus guy. In an extraordinary twist, Quin, Diego, and Robbie all happen to be on the campus basketball varsity team, Meanwhile, instead of playing matchmaker, Hannah decides to spend some of her precious training time breaking up a relationship. Why? The girl in question is her best friend, Sol, whose boyfriend isn’t just stealing from her-he’s stealing from others on campus too. Sol didn’t summon the Goddess, but this is what power over love is for, right? Surely, it’s not just about pairing people up but also about ending toxic relationships – even if it’s not what people want.

REVIEW

“The Philippine mythology modern fantasy that everyone thinks doesn’t exist (and it has, for 12 years now). Essential reading for every young Filipino reader, and it helps that you fall in love with almost every character you meet! My book would not exist without this series, and its continuing publication tells us that young adult stories, romance, and Filipino stories endure, and are always worth telling.”
– Carla de Guzman, author of Manila Takes Manhattan and Blooming Love
