When thirteen-year-old Erin discovers she is the daughter of the love god Cupid, she uses her newfound ability to sabotage her rival Trevor by making him fall in love with her, but she soon realizes love has a funny way of complicating things.

Cupid Willa Bean does not want to admit that she does not like flying high, or in the dark, but during a sleepover she has to face her fears.

In this updated version of Greek mythology, Hades, King of the Underworld, tells how a gawky teen Cupid fell in love with the mortal Psyche and what really happened when he kidnapped her.

"When thirteen-year-olds Marcus, a supernatural matchmaker, and Lena Perris, a soul collector, kiss at a party on a dare, they soon realize their powers have swapped. Now logical-minded Lena finds herself with the love touch, and ultra-emotional Marcus has death at his fingertips--and setting things right has become a matter of love and death"-- Provided by publisher.

Willa Bean thinks that every flying friend should be one of a kind, like her owl, Snooze, and is upset when a new girl arrives at the Cupid Academy with a much larger owl, Mr. Wingston.
