I am thoroughly enjoying this series. Each book is different but so good. As for this book I really enjoyed how all the different gods and goddess of different mythology are intertwined within this book so well. It was by far my favorite of the three I e read so far.

Love these books. Any retelling of any kind of Disney story/movie is my favorite. So good

Literally what do you mean we now have Greek gods in here now?😭😭 One book left in the series and I’ll be damned if I don’t finish it.

3.5 🌟

[Melissa · Rating 3 out of 5]

Trying too hard to force smut into the book after complaints that the series didn’t have enough. Also starts to be a strange medley of different folklores and mythologies that are becoming a bit much and I wish the author narrowed in on a couple specific ones instead of the mixture that’s happening. I still like the general concept of the book reimagining old tales, and appreciate a rougher Hercules than the disney version so much of us think of.

Some of the characters storylines are already pretty stretched so I feel like the next book may have a hard time keeping the readers interest, but I’ll probably finish the series anyway because I’ve come this far and want to see the conclusion. Hopefully it will exceed my expectations.

I really liked this book I think this one is my favorite so far I still have one more to go but this is my #1 for sure right now. This book has so many twists and turns it will just make you want to keep reading to see what happens next. I definitely cried a lot more in this book than the rest of them. I love Hercules and Ava! Captain Stone and Georgette will always be my favorite though. I still don’t like Serena she is selfish and only cares about her self and being right, she turned on her family just to gain her mothers love and is betraying her family and just to help Isis with her plan that is just going to cause more pain and suffering. I hope that in this next book she comes clean and tells everyone what is going on and what Isis’s plan is so they can put a stop to it but I just hope Serena keeping this secret from everyone won’t cost someone their life. But hopefully they can still break the curse that Isis put on the sirens and Tritons.

this book is based on Ava and Hercules story. Ava is the oldest of the siren daughters and his promise to Ava by her mother in order for him to fight with her and her sister to collect the body parts of her lost love. as her and Hercules go to retrieve a weapon from his uncle Hades they are locked in a room together in which they start to fall for one another. her sisters Pirates Sirens sister in her twin Trina Serena are having a long time with her husband's and traveling collecting the body parts. their husbands find out good there are Vikings tomorrow. so no there is sirens, Navy, Pirates, gods, and now Vikings who all have a stake in whether or not this person's body is put back together.

This is the third installment of Romancing the Seas. I really am enoying the adventures of all the characters from the last book and the new ones. Hercules and Ava's relationship ship had a very rocky start but through their adventures together, their love became something deeper. I loved the character development of Hercules & Ava. She brought Hercules out of his depression. He finally saw that he could love another woman after losing Megera. The introduction to Hades and Persephone is great! I love that she lost her memory and he has to.esrn her love back. You thought Hades didn't care about Hercules but he did. I can't wait for the next book!

Love the plot

The plot and story line are absolutely amazing, the only thing that keeps me from giving 5 stars is the fact that there are so many different time periods trying to mesh into one. Geek mythology, Egyptian mythology, pirates, Vikings, there is a lot going on, it can be difficult to keep up with and understand.

Other than that, the story and character development is great.

[Shelly Barnett · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love this series very much. I did end up skipping some of the smut, but otherwise, the storyline and everything with the original characters was amazing! I am a very big fan of Captain Stone! Hercules' story really touched me, and his chemistry with Ava is so beautiful. The dynamic with all the characters is very authentic and interesting. I am looking forward to reading the next one!

[Pheobe Doe · Rating 3 out of 5]

The faced paced action and adventurous vibes this book bring makes for an enjoyable read. I also like the different mythologies and folklore. However, I feel like the writing can be quite bland at times and I don’t feel overly connected to the characters.

Inventive

Inventive story that I enjoyed reading. Good characters and interesting circumstances. It could use some rewording and editing to clean up the script and bring it to a more adult level.

[Shelby Wones · Rating 2 out of 5]

Ive read the first 3 books, and this one is the best written. The characters journeys are more focused on the plot, rather than doing the dirty, so defintely some hood character devdlopment, but I wish the love scene between Herculeus and Ava was spicier.

[Finlay Enver · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book gets another 5 ⭐️ from me. Athena’s writing style is completing addicting and I’m so pleased to have finished this book on a high note. Highly recommend. The characters kill it every time! 🫶🏽

[Andrea Mccormick · Rating 4 out of 5]

This story deals with all kinds of mythical creatures and deities. Our group of pirates, sirens and demigods are on a mission but can they survive the perils of the wild. From the jungles of South America to the mysterious islands that no one knows about can love conquer all?

3.5/5 ⭐

[ArtsyMLE · Rating 3 out of 5]

I liked Hercules’ redemption but was underwhelmed by the additional lore that did not mesh well with the Greek Mythos. 🌶️🌶️🌶️

[Catherine Lawson · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved it! Best in the series do far.

[cadence_4106 · Rating 3 out of 5]

This tale masterfully weaves mythology and romance, creating a unique and thrilling adventure that stands out in the genre.

Athena Rose's writing brings the characters to life, making it easy to get lost in their journey. The romance is beautifully developed, with a perfect blend of tension and tenderness that keeps you invested.

While the story is engaging, there were moments where the pacing felt a bit rushed, which is why I rated it 3 stars. However, the overall experience was enjoyable.

If you're looking for a fresh take on romance Sworn To A Demigod is a must-read.
