I am a sucker for Greek/Roman mythology, especially stories that re-invent the gods and goddesses in any way (see Percy Jackson series).

This story takes the gods and goddesses and moves them to modern day London. They are all living in a run down flat and they are all slowly losing their powers. One day, Artemis, hires Alice to clean the flat. Alice is caught in the middle of a prank war between Apollo and Aphrodite and now the entire world needs saving.

Very cleverly written "hero" story with a not entirely surprising ending. However, like most fiction, the journey makes it all worthwhile.
