The INSTANT New York Times bestseller!

Available for the first time in audio, this recording of Blood of Hercules features four narrators! 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.

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.

Liked the book…the audio not so much

I was really excited about the audio version of this book but immediately was disappointed with the way the voice actors were set up.

Dual POV!

The story was captivating and overall hilarious but if you have voice actors for some chapters you should definitely have them voice ALL of their parts… not just the chapters from their POV it was a bit distracting but the main narrator was great!

Hand down a must listen/read

She never disappoints. Loved everything about this book. I am really forward to seeing what comes next. I can’t wait for book 2.

Obsessed

Greek gods meets post-apocalyptic future where Alexis is an orphan brought up in poverty. When she’s thrown into a massacre due to finding out she’s not a plain old human her journey to finding herself is a crazy one. High stakes, witty banter and hilarious inner monologues have made this one of my favorite reads of the year 🖤

A top read of the year!

This is absolutely a top 5, maybe top 3 for me for 2024! The story has great pacing throughout and Alexis’ inner dialogue was fantastic! Great quirky and relatable FMC who has learned from childhood to only rely on herself and to trust no one. Absolutely did NOT see the twist in its entirety! I guessed maybe 30% of it?? I love when good writing can surprise and then reveal how masterfully the web of deceit/truth was cast throughout the entire book— absolutely fantastic writing!

Audio was also top notch. I recommend pairing the start with the pdf offered (or the KU book) to help lay out the world and its players, but the narrators were great!

Great listen

The narration was great! There’s banter, dark humor and the struggles of being a girl. It’s Worth the credit. I’ll definitely listen again.

Loved it

Cannot wait for book 2. Narration was amazing. Well written. Humorous, entertaining, action oriented story with delightful spice in the end.

Loved it.

I liked the book and also liked the narrators. It seems people didn't like the female narrator, but I personally thought she did a great job. I liked all the voices she did and thought she voiced the FMC perfectly.

Hilarious

I am only on Chapter 11 and I love the protagonist. Just found myself laughing out loud and had to write a quick review. Her inner monologue is hilarious. Love the dark humor. Excited to see where this goes.
Update: Loved the book. It was exciting throughout. I need the 2nd book ASAP! 😅 It’s been awhile since I’ve found a new adult or YA book entertaining, this was definitely entertaining. Protagonist felt very relatable. Haha.

phenomenal
