Neon Gods by Katee Robert (Dark Olympus #1)

 


πŸ’œπŸ’™πŸ’œπŸ’™πŸ’œ


A hotter-than-sin mythology retelling! Neon Gods is filled with drama, angst, romance, intrigue, and enough heat that it should light the pages of your book on fire.


Persephone will win you from the first moment, with her innocence and love for her sisters, she's torn between her freedom and family obligations. She has the biggest heart and is the perfect person to challenge Hades.


Hades...dear sweet heavens, that man is the epitome of everything I want in a book boyfriend: tough as nails, a born leader, protective of those he cares about, but as gentle as a teddy bear when it counts.


I've never been drawn into a world as deeply as this one, and I never wanted this story to end. Katee Robert is a magical storyteller and is a one-click author for me every time!

πŸ’‹ Steamy Romance



SUMMARY:


He was supposed to be a myth. But from the moment I crossed the River Styx and fell under his dark spell...he was, quite simply, mine.


Society darling Persephone Dimitriou plans to flee the ultra-modern city of Olympus and start over far from the backstabbing politics of the Thirteen Houses. But all that's ripped away when her mother ambushes her with an engagement to Zeus, the dangerous power behind their glittering city's dark faΓ§ade.


With no options left, Persephone flees to the forbidden undercity and makes a devil's bargain with a man she once believed a myth...a man who awakens her to a world she never knew existed.


Hades has spent his life in the shadows, and he has no intention of stepping into the light. But when he finds that Persephone can offer a little slice of the revenge he's spent years craving, it's all the excuse he needs to help her -- for a price. Yet every breathless night spent tangled together has given Hades a taste for Persephone, and he'll go to war with Olympus itself to keep her close...


A modern retelling of Hades and Persephone that's as sinful as it is sweet.

Blood of Zeus by Meredith Wild & Angel Payne (Blood of Zeus #1)


πŸ—²πŸ—²πŸ—²πŸ—²πŸ—²

A paranormal romance that is out of this world! Blood of Zeus has me wanting to go back to college just so I can find my own Professor Kane.

Maximus Kane will win your heart from the first page. He struggles daily with the aftermath of what his unknown abilities have done to his best friend, luckily he's living his life to the fullest.

Kara Valari knows what fate has in store for her, whether she agrees with it or not, she has no choice in the matter. Her family is famous and constantly in the public eye, but she's had her fill of being told what to do...

I need Heart of Fire stat, and would pretty much sell a kidney for it right now! This series is SO good, it'll draw you in until the last page.

I love all the ties to mythology and how the authors have the perfect way of stringing you along. You'll be constantly guessing where Kara and Maximus come from, but how things can possibly work out for either of them.

This is definitely my new paranormal romance and I'm sure I'll be reading it again before the next installment releases. Be still my heart and step aside Thor, I've got a new God of a book boyfriend in Maximus Kane!

πŸ’‹ Romance
πŸ™ˆ Suspense


SUMMARY:

An ancient grudge. A forbidden love.

The only thing worse than being a demon is being a Valari. As an undergraduate at Los Angeles's Alameda University, Kara Valari can sometimes succeed at forgetting she's both. Lost between the pages of the classics and tucked into the shadows of lecture halls, she can dodge the paparazzi's lenses as well as her family's publicized dramas -- not to mention their private expectations. She has one more year to feed her true passions. Then she'll be expected to fulfill a much darker destiny.

Cursed with inexplicable strength and god-like stature, literature professor Maximus Kane knows all about darkness. Every day he's reminded of the missteps of his childhood and the devastating consequences they've had on those dearest to him. To atone, Maximus spends his nights alone and his days submerged in the quiet life of academia. His existence has become a study in control, and he's become a master at it -- until Kara Valari walks into his toughest course.

Viscerally, Kara's everything he craves. Logically, she's everything he rejects. She's a starlet of privilege. She's also a student. And after one touch, he can't deny that she's awakened something in him that may never go dormant. Nothing about her makes sense, but everything about her feels right. Especially in the deepest strands of his DNA, which are still shadows of mystery to him -- a mystery Kara seems determined to uncover.

She's Hollywood royalty. She's forbidden fruit. And he's pretty sure she could be the answer to everything.
