The New Gods by Ripley Proserpina

 

The New Gods, (Rebels and Curses)
Ripley Proserpina
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐


Blurb:
 Kiss me or kill me? All my life, I’ve been fascinated by stories about gods and the mortals they treated like toys. Now I’m at Oxford University with a newly acquired doctorate, and I’m making a career out of my childhood obsession. There, among medieval buildings and famous libraries, I meet five men who have names right out of Greek mythology. Achilles. Hector. Paris. Pollux. Orestes. I’m drawn to them, not only because of their names, but by the passion they try to hide. And the way our fates seem inexplicably linked. Turns out, I’ve uncovered an ancient artifact that could do more than just turn the academic world on its head. It’s the key to releasing a pantheon of angry gods who’ve had millennia to plot their revenge. And it’s the reason these legends have emerged from the shadows. Five men who were once princes, generals, and tragic heroes have vowed to stop at nothing to prevent the world from descending into chaos again. Even if it means ignoring the growing passion between us and wiping me off the face of the earth. **The New Gods is the first book in a reverse harem romance series with dark themes**


The New Gods is the first book in Ripley Prosperina's new series, Rebels and Curses. If you are a fan of Greek Mythology then you are going to eat this book up. If you aren't a fan of Greek Mythology you are still going to devour this baby. There is no way that you can't! So we have Dr. Leonora Ophidia. She has always been very career driven and at a young age she made a discovery that rocked the world. This lead to her getting to do something she had always aspired, be a tenured professor at Oxford University. She gets to share her adventures with students, professors and investors. This small artifact that she found has also gained the attention of a group of men. A group of men who have names far too unique to be coincidental. 

Hector, Paris, Achilles, Pollux and Orestes are no ordinary men. They have spent an eternity trying to keep what happened with Leo from happening. A very particular artifact that was broken and hidden long ago needs to stay hidden. For everyone's sake. So why does this group of determined men find it so hard to  do what needs to be done?

The thing I love most about Ripley's books are that you get such an in depth story. Now don't get me wrong, you guys know I love some hot and heavy books. Bottom line every time though, I want the story. The journey. I always know I am going to get it all with Ripley. So yes, this is definitely on the slow burn train. That doesn't detract from this book at all though. There is so much going on. So much to love. Getting to know these characters and learn their stories. I just loved it all. And oh my goodness that ending. I love that little twist. Can't wait for the next book in this amazing series.

Kingdom Fall, A Zavarelli

  Kingdom Fall, (Underworld Kings) A Zavarelli ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazon / Goodreads Blurb: I was a nanny in need of a job. He was darkness personified. I had little to call my own. He was filthy rich, powerful, and dangerous. The assignment was simple, and my goal was too. Take care of his son. Keep my head down. When he least expects it, destroy him. It should have been easy. I thought it would be until I looked into his stark blue eyes. Kissing the enemy is a bad idea, but so is falling in love with him. He doesn’t know my crumbling foundation is built on lies. When he discovers the truth, I’ll find out if he’s as brutal as I believe. I came here to steal his life. I didn’t count on him stealing my heart. Kingdom Fall is part of the Underworld Kings series. If you read the Society Trilogy then you already know a little about the world this series is set in but you don't have to read that trilogy to read this book. In this book we have Alessio and Natalia. Alessio is a Sovereign Son in IVI....
