Touch ( selfish Myths book 1)
By Natalia Jester
Once read a review will be written via Smashbomb and link posted in comments
A mortal outcast, a mythical goddess, and a forbidden desire that defies the laws of magic.
They say I'm a celestial bad girl. But they're wrong--I'm far worse.
My name is Love. I spend my immortal years hunting within a frosted forest, matching human hearts with each mischievous strike of my arrow.
But in all my centuries, I've never known desire--until now.
He's a mortal. And the longer I'm with him, the more I crave his touch.
Yet binding myself to this human is forbidden. Without a doubt, it's fatal.
When I discover that he possesses abilities beyond his knowledge--a force strong enough to eradicate my kind--I have to make a choice.
One, destroy him before he destroys my race.
Or two, contain his magic by sealing his heart with someone else's.
This was a strange read but strange in a good way I think. It was a sweet story of love finding love for herself. I loved the interaction with the other emotional gods they certainly all have a story. I just can’t put my finger on what was so odd about the book I’m certainly interested in reading more by this author. For now this would be 3 stars for me.

Prison of Hope ( Hellequin Chronicles book 4)
By Steve McHugh
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Long ago, Olympian gods imprisoned the demon Pandora in a human—Hope—creating a creature whose only purpose was chaos and death. Remorseful, the gods locked Pandora away in Tartarus, ruled by Hades.
Now, centuries later, Pandora escapes. Nate Garrett, a 1,600-year-old sorcerer, is sent to recapture her and discovers her plan to disrupt the 1936 Berlin Olympic Games, killing thousands in a misplaced quest for vengeance.
Fast forward to modern-day Berlin, where Nate has agreed to act as guardian on a school trip to Germany to visit Hades at the entrance to Tartarus. When Titan King Cronus becomes the second ever to escape Tartarus, Nate is forced to track him down and bring him back, to avert a civil war between those who would use his escape to gain power.
I love love love this series! This has to be the best one yet. I really like the way the author uses the Greek gods and mythology as well as bringing all the myths and legends into the story without it getting silly. Nate is just brilliant I love his relationship with Tommy and other characters. I like the back story of Nate’s life that runs along with whatever he’s facing in current times. It’s such a good series.
