The Ruin of Gods

Chronicles of the Stone Veil, Book 8

By: Sawyer Bennett

Narrated by: Lucy Rivers, Aiden Snow

For centuries, I've traveled the realms, fighting wars, providing peace, causing havoc, and everything in between. I've also sown my wild oats across those realms, taking pleasure when and where it's offered. It's a work hard, play harder lifestyle but I'm just the demigod to do it.

Zora is the god of Life but before that she was a mortal held captive, growing up without love or affection. Raised in the pits of Hell, she was a pawn in a sinister plan to destroy the world. Tossed into the life of an immortal deity, Zora is understandably closed off and confused about who she is and where she fits in. But the one place she fits perfectly is in my bed and the more time I spend with her, the more I'd like to keep her there permanently.

My attempts to win over the ethereal beauty are thwarted when a nefarious plan begins to unfold, leaving Zora missing and me scrambling to solve a mystery no one saw coming. As an immortal, time is of little importance but becomes a precious commodity where saving Zora is concerned. I've lived centuries never knowing true love, but I know one thing with absolute certainty—Zora is what I need to complete my eternal life. Now I need to make sure she lives long enough to realize the same about me.

Zora the weak

The storyline for Zora made her weak and unlikable. I love Aiden’s low, raspy voice for his character; Lucy’s excited voice was a little much. Glad story wasn’t longer.

Woe is me

I feel like the whole book the FMC is complaining about her new life with being all powerful. The whole book. I get it, it’s a change, but dear lord “ if this happened, if that”. Zora was a super weak FMC, which I’ve noticed to be a pattern with this author. This is just not my type of book or author. If you like the woe is me type with an overly manly man MMC then this series is for you. Unfortunately or fortunately these types of characters are not for me.
