About this ebook

The INSTANT New York Times bestseller!

Don’t miss the overnight viral sensation everyone is talking about! Blood of Hercules is the sarcastically funny, dark fantasy romance reimagining of Hercules from bestselling author Jasmine Mas.

I’m just a girl. And it turns out, I’m Hercules.

I’m struggling to survive in a Titan infested world where Spartans, immortals from twelve royal families who have god-like powers and obscene wealth, rule over all. A shy-stammering foster child with nothing, I keep my head down, cover my scars, and focus on excelling in school. At least, I try to. Then it happens.

My blood test reveals I’m part of the powerful elite. I’m one of them. A Spartan.

Forced to attend the Spartan War Academy, I undergo the most harrowing test of all time to see if I have what it takes to be an immortal. There’s just a few problems. Achilles and Patro are my scary mentors. Kharon, the ferryman of death, and Augustus, the son of war, are my terrifying professors. Also, I’m pretty sure either someone’s stalking me everywhere I go, or my sanity’s slipping––I have a bad feeling both are true.

I’m surrounded by Villains and they’re smothering me with their hate, obsession, and dark possessiveness. Too bad for them, they have no clue just who they’re messing with.

A Dark Romantasy for readers who love:
  • "Who did this to you?"
  • Extreme Enemies to Lovers
  • Strong Heroine
  • Morally Gray Alpha Heroes

I liked the plot, but It did have some holes, and I felt left unresolved on so many little things that would have made the book great like the two side characters figuring out she new how to sign. I found the FMC to be funny, especially if you like sarcasm. I found the world building to be good and enjoyed the mix of modern our world with mythology. however, I hated the two main male characters. Yes, they sounded hot and gave bad boy energy, but their characters were extremely pushy at times and seemed all mean like they were never nice to her and did completely use her, this is one of the few fantasy books I've read where I was rooting for FMC to be left alone with her brother and given a hot meal. I will read the next one in hopes she gets revenge.

This is a fantastic story. The world building is brilliant. This has a darker side so please be careful. The characters are amazing. I want to be Alexis’ friend. She is fantastic. Reading as everything went down had me on the edge of my seat. I devoured this book. I can’t wait to find out what happens next. The plot was insane. I highly recommend this book!
