About this listen
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.
Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

- "Who did this to you?"
- Extreme Enemies to Lovers

Story
The Obsidian Order only cares about three things: secrecy, loyalty, and power. Every man born to the founding families is bred for this purpose, to serve the society and its objectives. As a result, we are the elite. Untouchable. Unbreakable. If we make it through the Trials. I will, as long as my obsession doesn't get the best of me. This girl… If the Order doesn't kill me, she'll be the death of me. Because I won't give her up. She's mine.

I've awakened my powers, and things are not well. When I turned twenty years old, I discovered I had horrifying secret powers, got trapped into marriage with my enemies, accidentally joined a cult, and signed up for a bloodthirsty Gladiator Competition. To make matters worse, my terrifying husbands are trying to seduce me, and my old mentors are acting really strange. Now, someone is killing Olympians—and it’s not Titans. Things are spiraling out of control.

Story
I have never been favored by the gods. Far from it, thanks to Zeus. Living as a cursed office clerk for the Order of Thieves, I just keep my head down and hope the capricious beings who rule from Olympus won’t notice me. Not an easy feat, given San Francisco is Zeus’ patron city, but I make do. I survive. Until the night I tangle with a different god. The worst god. Hades. For the first time ever, the ruthless, mercurial King of the Underworld has entered the Crucible—the deadly contest the gods hold to determine a new ruler to sit on the throne of Olympus.

Story
There are whispers about what lurks in Witch Knell—the forest where sinners go to die. The villagers call it The Eating Woods because what's taken is never given back. Only those who've lost their senses would dare to go near it. Or the banished. Maevyth Bronwick knows better than to breach the misty labyrinth of trees, but a tragic turn of events compels her beyond the archway of bones to a boundary no mortal has crossed before. One that cloaks a dark and fantastical world that's as dangerous as it is alluring. It's there that he dwells, the cursed lord of Eidolon.

Only the extraordinary belong in the kingdom of Ilya—the exceptional, the empowered, the Elites. The powers these Elites have possessed for decades were graciously gifted to them by the Plague, though not all were fortunate enough to both survive the sickness and reap the reward. Those born Ordinary are just that—ordinary. And when the king decreed that all Ordinaries be banished to preserve his Elite society, lacking an ability suddenly became a crime—making Paedyn Gray a felon by fate and a thief by necessity.

I used to have big dreams: finish college, make beautiful art, all while taking over my dad’s business. He wanted a legacy, and I wanted to give it to him. But his illness wasn’t part of the plan. Neither was his sudden need to keep me locked up in our mansion, safe and isolated. I want more from life, but could only spend my days waiting. Until one night, I came face-to-face with a street biker from a world far different from mine. What starts as him stalking me, quickly spirals into something deeper, and more deadly.

She’s innocent and pure, fragile and helpless…but oh so guilty by blood. She calls us beasts, wicked and evil, vicious and cruel. We are all that and worse.

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.

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! :'(

🖤🖤🖤
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

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!
