Oops, here she goes again.

With Ranger now a permanent fixture, much to Meg's chagrin (growing pains, amirite?), Vigilante's expanding team has relocated to the city proper of Malus itself. But this just leads to more difficulties, when yet another mysterious stranger gets up in Meg's space with a riddle, unruly and oversized snakes (why did it have to be snakes?) begin appearing where they don't belong, and a villain-turned-hero comes out of the woodwork. She didn't start the fire, but now it's her problem to put it out.

Meg just got tossed in the deep end, and it's sink or swim because shit's about to hit the fan.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another fabulous book by a favorite author

As per my standard reviews for this series I have to say: Virgil remains the absolute best and I love him. Also, he's been having a bad couple of days so maybe don't push him too far, okay?

This book was amazing. I was beyond lucky enough to read an advance copy and.. wow. You aren't ready. But you could be. So make sure you (re)read the first two books before June is preparation for this because.. I will feel bad for you otherwise.

There isn't a lot I can say about this book's plot without ruining the earlier books. Or this one. Because once I get started, you aren't going to be able to shut me up. Let's just say, somehow, the stakes have risen. Things have gotten intense and there are more players on the field than before. Oh, and there's family drama. I feel like that's okay to mention. Greg's got a weird family and I don't envy Meg having to navigate that tangle.

Best part of this book for me? The banter. Jamie Jackson's banter is always great but she knocked it out of the park in this book. I laughed.. a lot. But it's not all giggles. There were serious moments and some real character growth. Speaking of growth.. Ranger continues to grow on me. I sort of resent it. I wanted to not like him for completely personal and stupid reasons but.. ugh. I like him, okay? I'll be sad if anything happens to him.

I am completely invested in this story and would like the rest of the series in my eyeballs right this second. Please and thank you.

Scorn and Sorrow was fantastic. Greg and Meg’s relationship is on a freaking a roller coaster when Greek gods start popping up left and right. Our rag-tag team of heroes are put through the ringer while dealing with villains, mythical creatures, and being left homeless in the wake.

I’ll say, having to deal with a Pantheon of gods as Demi-mortals, the playing field is hardly fair. Somehow, our likable band of misfits makes come through…or do they?

I’m eager for Deception and Damage to find out what Poseidon’s end game is gonna be and how it’s going to effect the gang.

Jamie has done it again! Her characters have evolved and moved me. Her story of Virgil, Meg, Greg, and Ranger, and the new character of Maniac, are phenomenal! I love this series. I really love how Meg doesn’t take crud from no one. She is realizing that she is vulnerable. I am hooked to have the next book! Can’t wait till the next book comes out! : D

Reviewed in the United States on June 16, 2022
I just love this series! I was so happy when I saw that a third book was being released. These books are just so fun and engrossing. They have adventure and action while, somehow still staying light enough that I don’t have nightmares all night long. The characters are so interesting too. This author really has a knack for creating interesting characters that you really root for and each book brings us someone new. The love story between Meg and Greg is really sweet too. Thank you for sharing your words with the world.

Book 3 in Jackson's series is a fantastic adventure! Follow Meg and Greg as they navigate their romance, superhero life, and quirky, unusual friends. Even domestic life isn't easy when you've got super powers, but when you throw gods into the mix... watch out!

I've been with this series since book 1 and highly recommend it for anyone. Just anyone.

3.0 out of 5 stars Another strong chapter that was unfortunately too rushed to cover all the interesting aspects!
Reviewed in France on December 11, 2022

"Scorn & Sorrow", part 3 of the AoaVLH series, struck me as having a very random and often very rushed story-line. I'm honestly having trouble trying to suss out how everything from way back in Book 1, Page 1 is all going to eventually connect to where we wind up and somehow make sense. One minute we're dealing with gods or at very least various creatures from Greek mythology. However, in the next we have issues with other heroes, family members and, gasp, even villains popping on the scene.

Yes, I get that the life of a REALISTIC super-hero is quite frantic and unplanned but our crew's day-to-day bits in this one had my head spinning. Some of the fighting stuff was pretty fun, but again rushed (oh wow, that Gorgon scene had so much potential!). This was particularly the case in dealing with the Hydras. Sure I can even accept the random flashbacks to ancient Greece (or is it?) which added some unique tension to the situation. But at some point, well, I was just getting too much of a 'all this and the kitchen sink, too' vibe as we headed through. And for a relatively short book - albeit part of a series - that makes it all the more jarring when we have to change paces, places, and more!

All-in-all, still a good book even though it was definitely not my favorite of the series. Still great characters that we're learning more about as we move along and some unique yet interesting for our super-powered friends to deal with. Again, I just felt there wasn't enough focus on the issues at hand and definitely not enough fleshing out of scenes that had real potential for more.

An interesting conflation of the ancient super hero tales, ie Greek gods, and the modern. Wel!-written, strongly depicted characters that are easy to visualise, good storylines, and convincing dialogue - and the sex scenes don't make you want to cringe and owe nothing to Mills and Boone type bodice-rippers. An enjoyable read, I look forward to the sequels.
