Kiss the boys and make them cry...The gods are gone.
The people have forgotten them.
But sixteen-year-old Rachel Patel can't forget - the gods control
her life, or more specifically, her love life.
Being a Hedoness, one of a strong group of women descended from Greek God Eros, makes true love impossible for Rachel. She wields the power of that magical golden arrow, and with it, the promise to take the will of any boy she kisses. But the last thing Rachel wants is to force someone to love her . . .
When seventeen-year-old Benjamin Blake's disappearance links back to the Hedonesses, Rachel's world collides with his, and her biggest fear becomes a terrifying reality. She's falling for him - a messy, magnetic, arrow-over-feet type of fall.
Rachel distances herself, struggling to resist the growing attraction, but when he gives up his dream to help her evade arrest, distance becomes an insurmountable task. With the police hot on their trail, Rachel soon realizes there are darker forces hunting them - a group of mortals recruited by the gods who will stop at nothing to preserve the power of the Hedonesses - not to mention Eros himself, who is desperate to reverse the curse . . .
Rachel must learn to do what no Hedoness has done before - to resist her gift - or she'll turn the person she's grown to love into a shadow of himself ... for ever.

Excerpt:
Hi everyone!
I’m stoked to be here and

female descendants of Greek God Eros who have the power to take the will of any
boy they kiss…dun dun dun… check it out and read through to the bottom for your
chance to win an Owlcrate subscription box and your very own blue Arrowheart
lipstick.
Boys were
disappearing. Sometimes weeks passed before they turned up
dazed and confused wandering in the park, down the street, on the rooftops of
tall buildings. When asked about it, they had no clue how they got there, where
they had been, and what happened while they were gone. Sometimes, if they
thought hard enough, they'd have vague memories of a girl. But I know what
happened. I know the girl.
I turn up
the volume on the media screen in the taxi's back seat as a reporter sticks his
mic in the face of the latest victim – an eighteen-year-old boy found sitting
under the bleachers in Times Square a few hours ago. He'd been missing for two
weeks.
'I . . . I
don't know,' he says. 'I was biking to the store and then I woke up here.'
The
reporter pats his shoulder then turns back to the camera. 'Three boys are still
unaccounted for in the latest string of disappearances. Police are asking
anyone with information of their whereabouts to call in to the
hotline.'
A phone
number appears in a thick, flashing font, followed by headshots of each of the
missing boys, with their names, dates, and what they were last seen wearing. I
turn off the screen and stare out the rain-streaked window, preferring a soggy
New York to their faces. Besides, there's nothing I can do about it and right
now I have more pressing matters to deal with, like coming up with an excuse
for being late.

About Rebecca:
After graduating high-school, Rebecca Sky set out
on a five-year, 24 Country exploration to find herself. She slept in a hammock
in the Amazon Jungle, skinny-dipped off the West African Coast, ate balut and
climbed the chocolate hills in the Philippines, and fell in love in Cuba (then
again in Brazil, and a final time to a Rocker from Canada). Rebecca returned home
to the West Coast captivated by the world and ready for another adventure.
So she did what every wanderer does when standing
still—began writing. Her work has since garnered over 20 million reads on
Wattpad, and she’s had the opportunity to partner with some really great
brands. She was featured in The New York Times and The Boston Globe, (check out
those articles here). Her debut Arrowheart, book one in THE LOVE CURSE series
is published by Hodder Children's Books a division of Hachette Book Group.
