Blood of Hercules

Villains of Lore, Book 1

De: Jasmine Mas

Narrado por: Meg Sylvan, Teddy Hamilton, Aiden Snow, Tristan Morris

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.

Loved this so much

I wasn't sure what to expect going into this but it pulled me in almost immediately. I love (and relate to) Alexis so much. The writing was funny and painful and beautiful throughout. The narrators performed tremendously and all in all I'm just absolutely in love with this audiobook. I almost never write reviews but I just had to say something. I can't believe the next audiobook doesn't come out for a year! :'(

ROFLMAO

she's confused, I'm confused and we all laugh madly. this is a dark story but man if I didn't lmao...and choke on food. pls don't eat while listening 😔 I'm am very sad it's going to take so long for the next one to come out. might need to get the book. I really hope there are lots more books to come. narrator is slightly above average. 2 out 10 spice. spice is at end of book. VERY slow burn.

Love the story

Great story def something different. Can not wait for book 2. Narrators did a great job. Of course it would be better as a duet, but the Female narrator did a great job.

New favorite book

Freaking awesome story and i love these narrators- it’s going to be agony waiting for the next one

Dramatized acted out version!

I love this book so much, I have read it at least 10 times. This is my comfort book, and I love the style of writing. I know everyone was pushing for an audiobook very early. This book would be VERY popular if it was dramatized and acted out like how they did Fourth Wing. That was what I was wishing the whole time I was listening to this book. At least a duet style would make the book more like how readers read the material.

Perfect! I couldn’t put it down

Jasmine Mas just has a way to write! I love all her books she’s one of my favorite authors, once I pick one book up I can’t put it down! It’s the perfect amount of dark humor LOVE LOVE LOVE can’t wait for part 2!

🖤🖤🖤

Blood of Hercules kicks off the dark fantasy romance rollercoaster, Villains of Lore, brought to life by the fabulous Jasmine Mas! This spellbinding tale weaves Greek mythology into a futuristic backdrop, set about 70 years ahead—talk about a time warp!

Meet Alexis Hert, our fierce heroine with a Spartan lineage, who gets yanked from her rough-and-tumble life and thrust into the Spartan War Academy. After surviving a childhood of chaos—think abusive parents, hunger pangs, bullying, and homelessness—she thought she’d seen it all. But the Academy is a whole new level of tough love, ready to shatter even the sturdiest spirits. What seems like a golden ticket to becoming a powerful, immortal Spartan quickly spirals into a nightmare of epic proportions!

Enter the Chthonic warriors, Patro and Achilles—her mentors who’d rather be anywhere else! These stunningly gorgeous yet ruthless tutors are as charming as a cactus, giving zero cares about Alexis’ happiness.

Oh, and let’s not forget Augustus, her demanding professor, and Kharon, the resident creepazoid whose obsession with her is more anxiety-inducing than comforting. Yikes!

With a cliffhanger that leaves you dangling like a piñata, the next book in this series promises to be a spellbinding treat—if I can survive the nearly year-long wait!

And don’t sleep on the audiobook! Featuring the vocal talents of Teddy Hamilton, Aiden Snow, Meg Sylvan, and Tristan Morris, it’s a thrilling ride filled with jaw-dropping twists. Buckle up for an unforgettable adventure!

One complaint

My only complaint is the book wasn’t longer and the next one isn’t out until next October. I’m obsessed with this author. The dry humor in the books makes me laugh. The story line is perfect. The narrators do incredible 10 out of 10

Great Book!!!

Wonderful narration and extremely well thought out storylines. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series!

Absolutely amazing

The narrators fit these characters perfectly! Now that I heard this, I don't think I could hear them differently. This book is absolutely perfect, it's the perfect blend of comedy, drama, action and at the end a little spice. I absolutely love Alexis and her monologue she absolutely makes this story hilarious, and with Kharen, Augustus, Patro and Achilles I can't wait to see what other stuff they get into in book 2, and what stuff Alexis does and says in books 2!
