Books like Lore by Alexandra Bracken
Every seven years, the Agon begins. As punishment for a past rebellion, nine Greek gods are forced to walk the earth as mortals. They are hunted by the descendants of ancient bloodlines, all eager to kill a god and seize their divine power and immortality. For years, Lore Perseous, a young woman, has pushed away any thought of revenge against the man who killed her family. Yet as the next hunt dawns over New York City, two participants seek her out: Castor, her childhood friend, and Athena, one of the last of the original gods. The goddess offers an alliance against their mutual enemy and a way to leave the Agon behind forever, but Lore's decision to rejoin the hunt, binding her fate to Athena's, will come at a deadly cost.
