Apollo Is Mine 4*
Elise Lowe is the last of her line. She is a warrior, who is sworn to act for Zeus to protect mankind, and has promised her father on his deathbed to continue the legacy and fight the monsters who try and prey on mankind. However, after just one kiss with the God Apollo, he has her heart and she would give it all us just for more of them. Heracles is training her to make sure she is up to the job and she knows she must use her superhuman powers to take down all the legendary creatures currently looking for prey on the streets of Chicago. However, after meeting the god Hades and seeing the darkness that seems to be there with him, she knows she must destroy it before the earth dissolves into chaos and she loses the god who loves her too.
A lovely story that was enjoyable and well written. Elise was certainly a tortured soul at times but she also became a little irritating to me with the way she flip-flopped from being a user or a doormat. I know they were gods but at the end of the way if she was as independent as she appeared she should have been more confident in her own worth.
Poseidon Is Mine 5*
Elise is torn between the bright love she is experiencing from Apollo as well as her lustful dreams of Hadesthen another god (Poseidon) appears trying to calm the chaos he believes is caused by his brother Hades. Apollo’s bright love is consuming, and the dark god Hades fills my dreams with lust and desire. Even though she's torn between them, the sea god, Poseidon, surfaces to calm the chaos, except I’m falling for him too. As Elise continues to train with Heracles while struggling to handle the abilities and power she has, sulky god Ares is there to encourage her to jump in and fight. She wonders if she is drowning in Poseidon's affection as she struggles to maintain a careful balance between her role fighting to protect from mythical powers and her humanity.
I loved this story and the descriptions of all the adventures she went on with Poseidon as part of trying to relax and enjoy life. I enjoyed their friendship and that t=he was trying really hard to support her and give her a safety valve in order to try and handle all the pressures she was under. Well written and very enjoyable,
Ares Is Mine 4*
Elise has 4 gods in her life and Ares is starting to play a much bigger role as he becomes a true friend to her. It's not easy juggling everything as she has to try and be human, save innocents from the darkness that seems to be getting stronger, training with Hercules and the 4 gods who all insist she is theirs.
This was a nice story as Elise had a very supportive god who only pushed for involvement in her life and anything sexual after they had become firm friends who were able to fully trust each other. It was great to see how her relationships with the other gods were developing even though she still seemed to be a user as well as a doormat.
Hades Is Mine 5*
Elise lost the latest battle even with the help of Apollo, Poseidon, and Ares so she has no more chances left. Ares trained her to be a stronger warrior, Poseidon taught her to be a wise leader, and Apollo showed her that passion could be a glorious champion. She needs to convince Hades to help her defeat the darkness but he just keeps hiding and wallowing in terror of what might happen if he loves someone. However, if he decides to change his mind can be really be trusted? Can the darkness finally be defeated or will all be lost?
This was a dramatic ending to the series as Elise finally worked out a major secret as well as get all 4 of the gods who had her heart. Very enjoyable and loved what happened to her even though it was more than a little like pulling teeth to finally work out the mystery as to how she could defeat the darkness. It was great to see a strong woman taking control and cleaning up the evil.
