Releasing the Gods

The Titan's Saga, Book 1

By: Leia Stone, Jaymin Eve

Narrated by: Vanessa Moyen

Length: 6 hrs and 12 mins

Publisher's Summary

 It all started with a dare.

A single dare on Maisey Parker's 21st birthday and her entire life changed.

One second she was getting drunk with her friends, and the next she was climbing a cliff, cutting her hand, and accidentally offering a blood sacrifice that opened a thousand year old prison. A prison that contained the only living Titan. One too powerful to kill. One that wants nothing to do with being attached to Maisey.

Cronus has an old score to settle with the Greek Pantheon. Lucky she has some sick days saved up at work, because Maisey is dragged along whether she likes it or not. A decision Cronus no doubt regretted right around the time she makes a colossal mistake, unleashing an untold evil on the world.

Now they're in a race against the clock to resurrect the other Titans, the only beings who can contain the evil. They're the world's last hope. And Maisey's.

Nope too much ###

Jaymin Eve & Leia Stone are one of my favorites duo of co-writting authors. But sadly this book was not one of my favorites. The story by itself would have been awesome if not for the constant Hashtagging every few sentences. That sadly killed it for me. I don't know if listening to it via Audible made it worse but i will try to read the other books instead of listening to it maybe it will be less annoying.

Vanessa Moyen did an excellent job narrating this book like usual i love her voice. So sad that that the constant # ruined it.

#TooManyHashtags

Overall the story was good but the overuse of hastags got old really quick. No one talks like that and I had a hard time connecting with the lead because of that. The narrator did a fantastic job bringing the story to life. It would be a great read if 75% of the hashtags were removed

Extreamly Imature

This book is what's wrong with our generation I am the age of the main character, who is obsessed with posting herself Instagram (this is my biggest pet peeve) the book encourages young women to continue being so vane it disgusts me. She speaks very immaturely saying "hashtags" every paragraph. I could bearly get through the first chapter but dragged on hoping it would get better since I love fictions revolving around the gods but after chapter 5 I just couldn't do it. The book just pissed me off the whole time. Don't waste your time

A very fun read

Finished it in a day and it made for a very enjoyable afternoon. The hashtag usage gets a little excessive at times, but it does add a certain amount of character and charm to the book that I enjoyed most of the time. The mythology in it was great, and the humor kept me thoroughly entertained. All in all definitely worth a read and I’ll be looking forward to the sequel.

So bad

Don’t waste your time or money unless you’re OK with the F word in every other sentence and hash tag in every statement she makes it’s #Annoying .. it’s a shame because it could be a really fun story

Uses # too much in the story

every few words is #... As long as that doesn't bother you if the great story!

Death by hashtag

I surprisingly made it through this first book but I won’t be moving on with the series. #enough #with #the #hashtags I know the main character is only 21 but I know of plenty of 21 year olds who do not hashtag the crap out of everything. Story is good if you can get past the hashtagging though. I can’t take it anymore. If you decide to rewrite without all the dang hashtags, let me know.

Interesting, but a bit...

I found the story interesting, and I love Vanessa Moyen, but the story felt too rushed and there wasn't a lot of character development at the beginning. I also found all of the hashtag comments to be a little too much, but I'm not an Instagram follower so that could be why. I still really like Jaymin Eve's work and I'm looking forward to book 2, but I'll probably read it before I think about buying the audio.

Ugh!!!!!

Disappointed!!!! I love books by Jaymin Eve and love Vanessa Moyers narrative skills but thus hook is complete garbage!!! I swear this book is only as long as it is because they used hash tag this, hash tag that and other hash tag nonsense! A complete letdown!!!!

# Way too many hashtags and swearing

Love both Jaymin Eve and Leia Stone but this book is sadly just awful......
The MC acts and talks like age 12 until her potty mouth emerges every 2nd sentence interchanged by super annoying hash tagging. The sexual self-talk and objectifyng in particular of the mail characters is particularly appropriate and bordering on truly offensive in this era.The potential of the story had no chance with these disastrous cringey elements.....

Warning

DO NOT play a drinking game with this book, on the word #hashtag. You’d never make it past the first chapter. Especially on a school night, you’d never make it to work the next day.
I counted 27 #’s in one chapter !! Any need ?

The narrator is awesome, the story line good, but OH~MY~DAYS, if I never hear the word HASHTAG again in my life, it would be to soon.

Pretty good

I really liked this as an opening gambit for a larger series: it wasn't what I assumed it was right at the start of the book and like an avalanche, it built and built upon itself as the story went on.

But my god, the FMC's inner monologue is annoying! All of the hashtags every other sentence actually hurt my brain and made her sound more like 16 than 21

Couldn't finish it

Couldn't finish the book. I Got sick of hearing "hash tag" every couple of minutes.

Great book

I LOVED this book, it was entertaining and I felt the story was paced really well, a lot of these sort of books feel very rushed but this one got it perfect! The characters were lovable and I really enjoyed watching the heroine’s personality evolve throughout the book. I enjoyed the fact that Maisey wasn’t a typical heroine and wasn’t one of those ‘perfect and pure’ people, she had flaws which I felt brought her character to life. The one thing I would say would be the #tags. It was a nice touch but I felt it was just a little overdone and really stunted the flow of the story at points. But overall, would definitely recommend!

Amazing!!

Leia Stone and Jaymin Eve have done it again. An absolutely fabulous start to another great series. Lots of action packed scenes and a cliffhanger at the end leaving you wanting more. Vanessa Moyen did a fantastic job bringing the story to life. I cannot wait for the second book!! 💕

#

This story was funny, entertaining, suspenseful and leaves you wanting more! I have to stay as someone who didn’t big on #s it was a bit annoying at first to have all the #commentary but you get over it and realize it’s just the character and someone do them are quite funny!

Intriguing

Witnessing this quurky, self absorbed young woman slowly change into someone who cares for others is an entertaining journey. With the addition of some super sexy men I did find this story wonderfully entertaining apart from the constant hash tags. The talented narrator brings these characters to life. I can't wait to see where this series goes next.

Amazing book

This is an amazing book! I’ll admit I’ve never been much into Greek god stories but this book just may have changed my mind about that. It brought enough modern day into mix with the mythology to keep me hooked the entire time. #givememore
I can’t wait tell book 3 comes out.

less # tags

enjoying the story but far to many #tag quotes Every other line is # tag this # tag that put me off finishing the book
