This is book 3 of the Twelve Labors series, Apollo and Murray story. Apollo is also in the Great Hall when Hera and Aries tell everyone they have taken Zeus and is also sent on a quest to find a mate. This upsets him more that he wants, because he has been in love with Murray for ages. Murray is the Scroll keeper, living full time in Atlantis. Never been outside of this sea world, he knows his love for Apollo could never be.
Just like the first books, this one also starts in the Great Hall and Cronos telling them to get to Atlantis. After Apollo gets there he notices that Murray is acting very nervous and they quickly find out that he told Hera and Aries how to capture Zeus. Once everyone settles down, Murray than explains that he left out important details that would be found in the scrolls. He and Apollo head to the scroll rooms, only to find that someone has taken the scroll needed and the only one to find the scroll is Murray. Apollo is commissioned to help, protect Murray. Even though Murray doesn't want him to because he knows on this journey Apollo will find his mate and that will not be Murray. We also have Lachesis, the last of the three Fates helping. This is the light thread, Fate.

I enjoyed this story better than the first two, but still found too many players and too much going on to be able to really connect with the two main MC. However, I’m a sucker for the woe-is-me; I’m not worthily, which Murray plays perfectly. Plus it was nice to be able to see the world through his eyes. Not ever being out of Atlantis, so the underworld, Earth, is amazing to him. And Apollo comes off more Alpha male then the previous MC’s, which I also enjoy. But by the end of book 3, we are running the same path and same story line. Pretty predictable, however, if the end characters are going to be book 4 mains, then we have added another layer of myth and crazy.
I was given this for an honest review by Crystals many reviews

To be completely honest up front, the one thing that I loved about this book was Murray. His true innocence was just amazing and it was really fun getting to see the world from his perspective. Apollo though, I thought he was a jerk in the beginning of the story, and even still come the end of the book, I just couldn’t connect with him. I was very happy that I didn't feel as though I was reading the previous books in the series when I started this one. It started off completely on it's own and I liked that.

It did seem as though we were introduced to quite a few new characters throughout this part of the series. It almost left me wondering if they were all setups for the future books in the series. I thought it was smart to a degree that the author did that, however it was a bit confusing trying to keep everyone straight.

Overall, I can’t wait to read more into this series and I really want to find out what’s going to happen next.

Murray or Mouse, is the keeper of the sacred scrolls of Olympus. Once Perseus comes back from his adventure, Mouse realizes that the scrolls containing the instructions for the 12 Keys are missing. Apollo and Murray are given the task to find them. Apollo has always been drawn to Murray and vice versa. It takes a stranger, Hunter, to make them realize that they are meant to be together and the indifference they showed in the past was out of fear, they realize they are mates.

Together, they look for the scrolls that can save Zeus. Along the way we learn more and more about others who will be integral to this story. I always enjoyed Greek Mythology, so this series is intriguing. The more I read the more I want to know what will happen next.

Dun tink I wanna continue coz i heard one of the gods saying that his future mate should understand that they will be having an open relationship. Turnoff no 1. Turnoff no 2 is Apollo already suspected that Murray is his mate and he still fucks ard and imagine the lovers as Murray. What the FUCK??? I'm not reading this anymore.. *Angry face*
