Don't miss the overnight viral sensation everyone is talking about The gorgeous collector's hardcover edition of Blood of Hercules features gold foil sprayed edges, foil casing, and metallic cover treatment and an exclusive teaser of the next book, Bonds of Hercules.
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.

This book had me hooked immediately and is well written. I'm not particularly interested in romance novels, however, this one had such a minimal amount and it was mostly focused in the ending of the book that it was not an issue. There is some jumpiness in writing quality but it is barely noticeable. I love ancient mythology and the incorporation of the deities does not disappoint. Did not mind having a female protagonist and it felt similar to the "His Dark Materials" series or the Golden Compass series which I like. The intended audience is likely late teens early 20's. Rating 8.9/10
