Blurb from Goodreads:
Strikes.
Starvation. Riots.
Britain is at breaking-point and Aura is blind to it all.
The Cult of Artemis is the only home she’s ever known. Enclosed in its luxury
lifestyle, the unrest gripping the country seems to belong to a distant world.
Her dream is to serve the Goddess and taking a vow of chastity and obedience
seems a small price to pay. But days before Aura is due to be initiated as a
Priestess, she meets Aiden, the rebellious son of a cult insider, whose radical
ideas and unsettling charm force Aura to question everything and everyone she
knows.
My Review:

2.5/5
stars
Aura is
a Handmaiden and soon-to-be Priestess in the Cult of Artemis and lives a life
of luxury.
The rest of Britain is a different story.
After meeting Aiden, Aura
starts to question if a life serving the Goddess is what she thought it was.
This was
an easy read that wasn't particularly gripping but I liked the Greek aspect.
The plot and the characters were okay and I thought Aura was an alright
protagonist.
Overall
this was an okay read.
