Summary

"Blood of Zeus is a dynamic and uniquely alluring paranormal romance! This author duo knows how to scorch the pages and tug at our imaginations. I can’t wait for more!" (New York Times best-selling author Carrie Ann Ryan)

An ancient grudge. A forbidden love.

The only thing worse than being a demon is being a Valari. As an undergraduate at Los Angeles’s Alameda University, Kara Valari can sometimes succeed at forgetting she’s both. Lost between the pages of the classics and tucked into the shadows of lecture halls, she can dodge the paparazzi’s lenses as well as her family’s publicized dramas - not to mention their private expectations. She has one more year to feed her true passions. Then she’ll be expected to fulfill a much darker destiny.

Cursed with inexplicable strength and godlike stature, literature professor Maximus Kane knows all about darkness. Every day he’s reminded of the missteps of his childhood and the devastating consequences they’ve had on those dearest to him. To atone, Maximus spends his nights alone and his days submerged in the quiet life of academia. His existence has become a study in control, and he’s become a master at it - until Kara Valari walks into his toughest course.

Viscerally, Kara’s everything he craves. Logically, she’s everything he rejects. She’s a starlet of privilege. She’s also a student. And after one touch, he can’t deny that she’s awakened something in him that may never go dormant. Nothing about her makes sense, but everything about her feels right. Especially in the deepest strands of his DNA, which are still shadows of mystery to him - a mystery Kara seems determined to uncover.

She’s Hollywood royalty. She’s forbidden fruit. And he’s pretty sure she could be the answer to everything.

Intrigue, secrets and a burning connection

I loved this book from start to finish, even though it wasn't completely as I expected from the blurb. The focus wasn't so much on the paranormal elements, but more on setting the scene for Maximus and Kara's relationship and the secrets around them both. However, I feel sure that will come to the forefront in the next book after the reveals and revelations at the end of this one!

Blood of Zeus was a slow burn forbidden romance with fiery chemistry and a deep seated connection neither could ignore, between two very likeable characters in Maximus and Kara. Their sexual tension was literally out of this world hot! There were secrets, lies, mystery and intrigue and a lot of inner turmoil for both as Kara battled against her families influence, penance and her predetermined, ominous destiny. Maximus was all about control, with his guilt over the past and his need to find out about his heritage and unknown father, until Kara turned his world upside-down. I wish I'd had a literature professor as alluring as him!

I listened to the audio version and both narrators were good, but Jacob Morgan had a little something extra that bought Maximus to life. His Kara voice was very good too!

This book was beautifully written with depth, feeling and detail.  There were some equally interesting secondary characters in Jesse, Kell and Kara's grandfather in particular and a very sinister seeming art dealer! I cant wait to see how their forbidden but undeniable connection develops, if it is allowed to, but I suspect it might take a darker turn!

I am curious to see where this is going

So I loved the story premises and the plot points.
I picked the book because forbidden teacher/student romance is a trope I am curious about and paranormal is my go to. So this story has everything I am asking for. I liked the story overall yet I find it lacking on some aspects. Now that is my personal tastes we are talking about and I know better than to stop at the first book in a series so I already have book 2 on queue! Let’s hope things get better for Maximus and Kara.
