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!

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.

Ousted Princess by Tasha Lewis (Modern Princess Collection #6)


πŸ‘‘πŸ‘‘πŸ‘‘πŸ‘‘

This book will have your mind in a tug of war with your heart! Ousted Princess is a wonderful story that will have you second guessing who you want the main character to end up with.

Roni is the girl who took the plunge and confessed her feelings to her best friend, only to have them squashed and not returned. Just when she's starting to open her heart to someone else, her past comes back to bite her and she's torn between what's good for her and what she wants.

Sean is a character that you'll love to despise, at least until you get to know him, then you'll definitely be on #TeamSean for the long haul. He's trying to fix his past mistakes and get his best friend back into his life, but he has a lot of explaining to do.

Throw in a love triangle, second chance, and a mending heart - you'll be in for a beautiful fairy tale loosely based on the history of Pocahontas (don't rely on the Disney version).

This was a wonderful addition to the Modern Princess Collection and I hope we see a follow-up/redemption story someday with a certain character that I won't name. *Wink  wink, nudge nudge Tasha.*

SUMMARY:

I was humiliated at the end of freshman year. Now all I want to do is focus on my studies and avoid my former friend and love of my life, Sean Courtright. And I was doing just fine on all accounts until my favorite professor asked me for a favor: tutor the boy who shattered my heart.
If the request had come from anyone else, I would have turned him down.

Oh boy, I should have...Being cramped in the same room each day, his familiar scent wraps around me and soon, we both slip back into old patterns. If that wasn't enough, Sean raises the stakes and offers me a bet, one I can't possibly turn down, even if it sounds way too familiar to last year's broken heart.

Will fate allow us a second chance at love? Or will it all come crashing down, for the second time?

Bookish Princess by C. Lesbirel (Modern Princess Collection #5)


🌹🌹🌹🌹

A beautifully woven fairy tale! Bookish Princess will have you second guessing who to cheer for, all while loving every confusing moment.

Bella wants a fresh start - away from who she is and her family, just to be herself. It's hard to do that when you've been betrothed to a beast of a man, not leaving you able to follow your heart.

Hunter is determined to make Bella his, even if that makes him come off as controlling and a jerk most of the time.

At the beginning of the story, I was confused as to whether I should hate Hunter or cheer for him, but quickly determined that he would win me over... especially knowing he'd have to work much harder to win the heroine.

This was a charming retelling of one of my favorite stories, and does the characters justice. I'm absolutely loving this series and this was my first book by the author, but I'm definitely going to be on the lookout for more!

SUMMARY:

Fighting with fists because feelings hurt too much.
Desperate to escape the responsibility that came with her gypsy roots, Bella buries her head in books and does everything she can to hide her true identity.
Hunter was born to fight and win, but fighting for Bella is a losing battle from the very beginning.

When she is forced to marry a monster, will she take a chance on love and see beneath the beast, or will she run away and turn her back on everything she knows?

If you enjoy angsty love stories and need to know what happens when love is unrequited, you'll love this new adult, Beauty and the Beast retelling.
