Blood of Hercules: A Dark Romantasy of Myth and Power, Perfect for Fans of Greek Mythology and Spicy BookTok Reads: The Best Fantasy Romance of 2024 (Villains of Lore, 1)
The INSTANT New York Times bestseller!
The overnight viral sensation everyone is talking about, Blood of Hercules, is a sarcastically funny, dark fantasy romance reimagining of Hercules from bestselling author Jasmine Mas--now available in paperback with full color character art, bonus content, and embossed lettering.
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.

I actually chose to go into this book blind. I didn’t read any reviews about it. WOAH! First, the FMC is hilarious. A lot of the writing is her inner dialogue so if you don’t like that kind of style you may not like this book. She is so sarcastic and witty, which just made for so many laughs out loud moments while I read. The FMC grows up poor and desolate and somehow is able to persevere, but her smarts and resilience land her in a competition to become more powerful, and she learns things about herself along the way.
I also didn’t know this was a dark romance… but spoiler, nothing smutty really happens until the meatier part of the book/ almost the end.
Reverse harem Greek myth retelling. Interesting take on dystopia. Trigger warnings. I enjoyed this and am looking forward to book 2
First off, it was an okay read. It was funny and we felt the youth of the FMC. The group chat has the following to say: Are the MMC's in the room with us (for those who listened), would have loved more of male voices in the audiobook, missed opportunities to expand on the world, the feelings came out of nowhere, we felt the torture and it went on forever and lastly we needed more spice.
