Keras is darkness. It sustains him. It strengthens him. It offers relief from the pain born of his feelings for a goddess of Olympus, a bewitching and beautiful female placed beyond his reach—one who stole his heart and broke it. Centuries of enduring that pain have left him tired, and the temptation to surrender control to that side of himself grows each day.

Even when he knows that darkness will destroy him.

Enyo has regrets. Hundreds of them. But the one that has plagued her for centuries, is the moment that shattered her friendship with the firstborn of Hades and her own heart with it—a moment that changed her and set her on a new path. With the battle between the sons of Hades and the daemons turning more dangerous for the man she loves, she can no longer stand on the side lines.

It’s time for this goddess of war risk everything to fight for what she wants.

As the battle to save the Underworld and the mortal realm rages to dangerous new heights, will Keras be consumed by the darkness or will Enyo be the light that saves him?

Blessed Goddess...that was incredible! I didn't expect to love Keras this much...it's literally a shock to the system. Keras & Enyo's story blew my mind! From phenomenal character and story development to plots and twists that had me avoiding adult responsibilities...it was that fantastic! Devious, action-packed and sexy! Miss Heaton knows how to capture her reader's!

Keras, oh Keras. How i love thee so so much..... but.....

This book felt rushed. All of that build up over the last 7 books of Hades sons to be a bit of a letdown. I was just expecting more; either some big twist or some big reveal OR something big to happen with the MC's but.... nah.
I felt like the author kinda got bored with her own plot and forgot to tie up loose ends and give simple explanations for things. One of the more important things was WHY the MC's stayed away from each other for 2 centuries. Other than the fact that they hurt each others feelings, i wasnt sure why they were estranged. I needed more explanation all around and i was left unsatisfied.

With that being said, I've loved Keras since he was introduced in book 1. I love me some moody, grumpy, hard ass, but still emotionally fragile heros. Y.U.M. When the MC's finally got together it was pure magic on each page. This author has no trouble creating a real connection with her characters. When Keras and Enyo got together i SCREAMED and had to put my ebook down and take a deep breath. That is how i want to feel with every book.

BUTTTTTTTT

The MC's needed more time together. Now reading this whole series i understand that this is plot driven instead of romance driven. But if youre going to write an extensive series like this, the plot needs to be iron tight. And this was not. So you get points for romance, but loose points on a lackluster plot.

Safety: totally safe. needs to be read in order.
- No cheating, No OW/OM drama, no other people after meeting
- No other people during their 200 year separation.
- Heroine was betrothed to another man when she meets hero, but she never goes through with it and has no feelings for her betrothed besides friendship
- Push and pull
- Violent battle scenes between H & h. Hero looses control of his powers and physically hurts the heroine but she's a tough cookie and hits him right back.

Dark and devious! This book was impossible to put down from the moment I started. Jammed packed with nonstop action, unseen twists and fierce romance, this book left my heart soaring and ripped apart at the same time with so many highs and lows. A definite must read!

SWEET GODS.... I could hardly put my kindle down, the need to read this book straight through was fierce!!!!!

The series has built up the action and suspense, as well as our anticipation, and I can say without doubt that Felicity did not let us down!!!

Keras has always felt a little separated from his brothers which I initially thought was maybe because he had the responsibility of them all in the mortal realm but in this book we find out exactly why he holds himself apart, his fears and the lengths he goes to to suppress his feeling and emotions.

Until his own story I wasn’t the biggest fan of Keras but I have to admit reading about his past, his daily battle and his struggle with the darker side of him I really did change my mind about him.

Enyo... she was perfect for him. Fierce, loyal, prepared to stand up to him and fight back, especially for him, when needs be. She got him - think she kinda always did, even 200 years ago!
My heart broke for her knowing how captive she felt living under the thumb of her brother, not knowing how Keras felt or feeling able to go to him in all this time.... even though over the series I was a little peeved at her that she could go to one of the other brothers if information was to be passed, even if that caused animosity and annoyance between Marek and Keras when she did.

When this pair finally got things straight they were great together.... passion, heat and heart. They were always meant to be, sadly it took a couple of centuries for them both to listen to the truth, believe in their hearts and fight for what they wanted.

The story arc that we’ve followed through the series came to a great conclusion.... I just wasn’t prepared for the level of deceit and complicity involved....

I adore Ms Heaton’s series, her world building, casts of characters and imagery. I cannot wait to see where this world of the Gods takes us next.

5 hot as hades stars!!!!

Author Felicity Heaton hits the ball out of the park with this electrifying action-packed Book 7 of the Guardians Of Hades Series. Keras oldest son of Hades comes to life in this book where we finally learn about the impeccably dressed iceberg oldest brother. We discover his history with Enyo, the goddess of war and destruction, and why he avoids her.

This book taught me a lot about Greek Mythology with all the Gods, goddesses, and demigods and demigoddesses. I know I studied them in school, but they never came alive like they did in this book. Now don’t get me wrong I am aware the author configured the characters for her story line but just mentioning their names caused a deep need to hit the internet and research who they were.

It is obvious that the author researched the history of the mythologic characters, and it added great depth to the storyline.

The storyline itself was emotional for me when it gets into Enyo and Kera’s past relationship to each other. It also opens the readers eyes to the real Keras and what drives his desire to protect and annihilate. Love abounds in this book both romantic and family so don’t worry about it being just fighting.

Lastly this book finally deals with the all the enemies in the other books plus additional stronger enemies.

Now that all the brothers got a book, I wondered what would happen to the series and I was more than pleased when the author mentioned Book 8: Thanatos, was coming in 2021. I am so excited, but you will need to read this book to find out why.

Things have reached a boiling point in the war to keep the Underworld and the mortal realm from colliding and it is CRAZY FUN. You know, if you're into battles that have the potential to tear two worlds apart and reshape them into a dark future. I mean, we get epic battles, gods and lesser gods, betrayal, heartache, and a whole lot of blood.

But before we reach that point, Keras has to overcome the addiction he's been using as a crutch to keep himself at heel. While it's certainly true he needed help keeping his powers under control in the mortal realm (because killing everyone when you have an off day is NOT a good look on him), he also used the pills to keep his broken heart in check. If you can't feel anything, you don't have to feel that particular pain, right?

Enyo sees what's going on with Keras quick enough. And she does what she needs to do to help him overcome it. It's messy. It pits them against one another physically. It finally allows them to see that they were both blinded by half-truths and fear and they really are meant for one another.

That's all well and good (because I really liked these two finding their happy place), but I REALLY liked seeing all the plotting and machinations come together. There are layers to the bad guys plots. Yessssss. We also got to see more of Olympus and a slice of what some of the other gods have to deal with (that's putting it oddly, but I'm curious about Nikos and his curse. I can also see how being considered lesser your entire [very long] life could make a person susceptible to certain outside influences).

As a completely random aside, Thanatos. I like the guy. I like that he battles shirtless. I like that his filter seems to be broken when it comes to saying things he probably shouldn't say. I like that Hades tasked him with something very important. Straight up, I'm ready for book 8.

KERAS is the seventh book in the Guardians of Hades series and the final one of the brothers to get his story. This doesn't mean the series is at the end though, oh no. There is a missing sister, don't forget, and Thanatos is just the god to go look for her.

Keras has been the ultimate grouch in all the previous books, being especially hard on Marek whenever Enyo paid him a visit with information. He takes his title as Lord of Darkness very seriously. In his story though, you find out that he struggles on a daily basis with the very real darkness. He even takes (highly addictive) pills that he got from dear old dad to combat it.

Enyo has been a recurring character throughout the series and now we find out just what happened between Keras and her. I found her character to be slightly confusing as she is a goddess of war, but comes across as being almost wallflower-like in some regards and strong in others.

Between the two of them are a multitude of misunderstandings, some of which I didn't get myself. These get swept aside though once the action kicks in because, believe me, you don't have time to breathe once it does.

A full-on, climatic, steamy ending to the brothers. Now I can't wait for the sister! Absolutely recommended by me.

KERAS is the seventh instalment in Felicity Heaton’s contemporary, adult THE GUARDIANS OF HADES paranormal/fantasy romance series loosely based in Greek mythology, focusing on seven brothers- the sons of Hades and Persephone -banished to Earth to guard the gates to the Underworld. This is Prince of the Underworld and Lord of Darkness Keras, and goddess of war Enyo’s story line. KERAS can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty but I recommend reading the series in order as the brothers struggle against an unknown enemy to keep the human world and the Underworld from colliding.

NOTE: The Guardians of Hades series is Felicity Heaton’s interpretation of, and does not follow, the actual Greek mythological family tree or events.


WARNING: Due to the nature of the story line content, there may be some triggers for more sensitive readers.


Told from dual third person perspectives (Keras and Enyo) KERAS follows the sons of Hades and Persephone as they continue to battle the daemons and otherworldly figures at the two remaining gates to the Underworld but with each subsequent closure of the previous gates, the brother assigned to the specific gate sacrificed his blood, a sacrifice wherein the blood is often ‘stolen’ in an effort to control the brothers from afar. Keras, as the Lord of Darkness struggles to keep the darkness under control, a growing darkness he, his brothers and his mother, blame on the loss of the only woman he has ever loved, but Keras’ battle with the darkness reveals a battle of another kind, an all too human battle with addiction and drugs. With a war on the horizon between the brothers and the daemons of the Underworld, the goddess of war Enyo believes it is time to seek out Keras, and offer her help, but in doing so sets a series of events into motion pushing Keras into a downward spiral of abuse and hatred aimed at our story line heroine. As the brothers prepare for war, Keras must come to terms with his addiction, and the darkness he has directed at the woman he loves.


KERAS is an action packed, fast paced story of family, betrayal, vengeance and war; a story about a fight for power and control; a tale about addiction, abuse, acceptance and blame. Felicity Heaton pulls the reader into an intense and dramatic story wherein our heroine must face the fall-out of two hundred years of heart break and regret. With the approach of war, Enyo’s presence is needed, for as the goddess of war, she is capable of so much more.

There is a large ensemble cast of creatures, gods and goddess from Greek mythology including Nyx and Thanatos, Enyo’s brother and god of war Ares; all of Keras’ brothers and their significant others as well as their parents Persephone and Hades. Enyo is a strong, female heroine who has been secluded from the man that she loves; Keras is a prince of the Underworld but struggles to control the darkness within. Thanatos’ story line is next.

There are some light moments interspersed throughout the story line- everything isn’t always heart breaking and dark. We are witness to the next generation of gods and goddess entering the world, as well as the rebuilding romance and relationship between our leading couple.


The story line premise is difficult at times as Keras loses control and attacks the woman he loves but saying that, our heroine purposely places herself in the direct line of fire in an effort to ‘lull’ Keras into a fight meant to ease the darkness and pain. As a fantasy story line, the heroine is immortal, a goddess with the ability to heal from the life-threatening wounds but for some readers, Keras’ actions may hit too close to home.

Oh I’m so happy to have read this book, and so sad the series is coming to an end..... but wait, the author has added another book or two to this series. Hooray!!
This series has been an absolute joy to read. The emotions it pulls out of you range from sadness to utter joy.
Keras is the last of the brothers to have his story told.
He’s the eldest of Hades sons, and has had to shoulder a lot of responsibilities, the daily caring and looking after his brothers. He reluctantly took on the role of leader. It’s what his father expected of him, and Keras would never let his father down.
He’s an emotionless god, they slow him down, and slowly he’s been closing himself off from his brothers. Not a good thing to do!
The continual battle to keep the gates to Hades realm safe, watching his brothers battle their own personal demons and not to be able to fix it. And then as one by one watching his brothers fall in love! He’s not jealous, he’s not sad, he’s not anything but numb!!
Enyo is the goddess of War, her brother Ares (yes, Hades son was named after that god) has always kept her safe, but that safety comes at a price! Being kept away from the only man she’s ever loved has caused her so much pain! But no more, she’s going to join the battle and not even her brother can tell her what to do.....
There is history between the main characters, and in the previous books we didn’t get a lot of information on them. But whenever her name was mentioned, Keras would storm away! And when she would visit his brothers and not him, that had to have hurt. So it’s great we finally get more on the pair. And it’s a great story of unrequited love, moments missed, opportunities that they let slip them by. Each believing they were only friends and nothing more!
We also get to find out what’s in the box he always carries with him. And it’s a big factor in this story.......
It’s a story of two lovers kept apart. Both yearning for one another, but both afraid to let anyone in.
It’s a story of addiction, and the ongoing battle to win.
It’s a story of good possibly triumphing over evil, but not without a price!!
As always the story is gripping, the emotions will have you on the edge of your seat. I could not put this book down.
The fight scenes as always are bloody and ferocious, intense and humorous in places. The interaction between the brothers is on point as usual, the witty one liners and quick comebacks are what make this book enjoyable.
Keras has been a dark horse from the very first book, giving just enough away to keep you hooked. And when he finally gets his story, it just about break your heart.
Enyo is a great character, very strong, but had so much taken from her. Eons of being put in her place had made her second guess herself.
But the one thing that didn’t change over the centuries......
Their love for one another....
But will love be enough to overcome the evil that is coming their way? The battle ahead is suddenly thrust upon them and allies quickly turn on one another!! Who can the brothers trust?
And can Keras overcome his darkness? Can he tell his goddess that she’s the only one in his heart? And can Enyo finally put her happiness before her brothers wants?
If you’ve picked up Keras without reading the previous books (why?) then you may feel a little behind (but you can read it) but if you’ve read the other books, then your in fkr a bumpy ride......

This is a wonderful addition to the series
I am sure that you will enjoy every page and thoroughly enjoy the direction this story takes in what has to this point been a wonderful series.
The three domes were quite a spectacle within the area known as the Basillia of the Sacré-Coeur it was quite the sight three formations rising from the ground under the blaze of the artificial white lights illuminating the area.
Kera’s was ready for the fight and the possibility of actually being pitted against another person that was an equal match rather than the usual walkovers he was able to destroy on one fell sweep. As the fight had started and he had felt the blow he had been somewhat surprised at the accuracy and the way in which his skin and separated and then his blood had stated to flow freely onto the ground below his feet.
When his two brothers Marek and Daimon had saved his life and closed the gate he had been pretty out of it and he knew they had done what the believed was best at the time however it had been nearly a month since his near death and now that the New York gate is closed it has only left the main three Hong Kong, Paris and Tokyo.
For two centuries, Kera’s had been forced to live in this world, waiting for the enemy who would bring about the calamity to finally make themselves known.
While Kera’s didn’t care about their frequent lover’s spats, he did agree with Daimon. The enemy were targeting Cassandra for her ability to use necromancy magic. It was better she remained locked away in the mansion where she would be protected by the wards that stopped daemons and their enemy from entering the grounds. Just as it was better Marinda, one of the two remaining furies, stayed there too. There, they could protect Cassandra and Marinda and keep them out of the enemy’s hands.
It was a fine balancing act and it was essential that their enemies did not get their hands on these or else hell would surely break loose and there would be nothing that anyone would be able to stop, their power and abilities in the wrong hands would mean the deaths of untold innocents and Kera’s brothers even with them all working together would not be able to reign these forces back in and this would surely mean devastation.
I can guarantee that you will enjoy this bet chapter in this wonderful series it has been so well written and the plot is so extensive, the excitement and the action within the book will totally hold your attention.
I voluntarily received and review an Advanced Reader Copy
I thoroughly enjoyed the book and look forward to reading any future publications; keep up all the great writing.

Awesome series!! Glad to finally have Keras’ story! He’s been a bit of a mystery for most of this series. I’d definitely recommend reading the previous books before this one for the full story. This one has lots of action with the good guys battling the bad guys; those bad guys do not give up! There are multiple attempts to open a gate from the Underworld to Earth. Lots of danger!! Love that all the brothers and their women all fight together! They go through so much! Love seeing more of Hades and Persephone too! They are so supportive of all their children!

This one starts out with Keras a bit of a mess; he’s a drug addict, he uses pills to make him feel nothing, so he can control his darker tendencies better. He has some major anger issues that can over take him; he can’t control his own actions, it’s like the real Keras has checked out. The addiction is definitely starting to take it’s toll on him, which is very bad with the enemy amassing more and more powerful allies. Luckily, he has some support from Goddess Enyo. Keras and Enyo were best friends for a long time and were close to being more, but both let fear keep them from telling the other their true feelings. Both were blind towards how the other felt, so they haven’t seen each other in centuries. Enyo finally realizes she was an idiot to stay away from Keras for so long. She let her jerk brother manipulate her and treat her poorly, but she’s finally ready to show her strength; too bad it’s taken her centuries to grow a backbone. Both characters were a bit too timid; I was hoping for a bit more passion and fire between them from the past, but you can tell how deeply they love each other; both have just been weak. Both needed to take control of their lives! There is a super sweet connection between them; love how supportive and loyal they are to each other!

Overall, an exciting entertaining adventure! Love all the battles and magic! Looks like there will be more books too! I’m super excited for that! This series has been so awesome!

I love this series. It has characters from Greek mythology, mystery, and romance.

This is the seventh book in the Guardians of Hades series. About a group of brothers that are sent to Earth to guard the Gates to the Hell Realm. This book is about Keras, the oldest brother, the first born of Hades and Persephone, the one in charge and has to stow away all his emotions to be able to keep his power under control and to help his family find and destroy their enemies. That is until his long-lost love, the Goddess of War, Enyo, comes down from Olympus to help him and his brothers fight this last battle.

Keras and Enyo both did things in the past to hurt each other and it almost destroys themselves, each finding ways to erase the hurt that they feel. Both are battling an addiction to something, but they come together to help each other fight those bad habits.

I love Enyo, she is a strong woman when fighting in a battle or war, but like a lot of women, she lets someone, (her brother Ares) control her life, until she decides to take back that control and repair the damage that she did to Keras and their relationship so long ago. She is afraid at first, sure that Keras does not love her anymore, but she puts that aside and fights like the Goddess of War that she is for him and her love of him. It is a struggle, but in the end, you know she gets her HEA.

This book has so much action, story development, plots twists and new characters, I could not put it down. Please read the other books in the series first, before reading Keras, it will be hard to understand some of the plot and back stories if you don’t. And each of the first six books are great also.

AND OMG!!! I hope that there is another book coming in this series, I want to find out what happens with the special mission that Hades gives Thanatos and if he is successful.
I loved this story.

And I can’t wait for the next book in the series (I HOPE, I HOPE). I would definitely recommend this book and all the books in this series to friends and family and have already.

You can read my full review on my blog, Flora's Musings

I’m already a big Felicity Heaton fan. I love her writing style and have read most of her books! Her world-building is amazing. The mix of fantasy and reality captures my attention right from the start. I love her characters. They’re never just good or evil but a complex assortment of positive and negative traits and emotions. It’s this combination and attention to detail that always makes her stories feel more realistic for me.

Keras was worth the wait!

Let me explain. I seem to be drawn to dark, deadly and damaged anti-heroes. Keras is the oldest brother and has the weight of responsibility on his shoulders. His often brusque manner and apparent lack of compassion tempted me even more. I relished getting inside his head and enjoyed seeing a different side of him. Although, his darkness was truly terrifying at times. I was left with doubts about Enyo after the last book. However, she turned out to have all the personality traits that I want from a female protagonist. She’s resilient, intelligent, loyal and strives to fight any injustice.

I really enjoyed this paranormal romance adventure. I read Greek myths when I was younger and love that they’re the inspiration for this series. With Felicity’s usual twist, of course.

Keras was a fantastic read, keeping me hooked from the very first page! It made me smile, cry and feel all hot and bothered (in a good way). I loved the well-written erotic thrills, kick arse fighting, and the romantic gestures sprinkled throughout this book.

My thanks to the author, Felicity Heaton, for the eBook in exchange for a candid review.

The Battle to End All

Goodness this book was intense! Keras finishes out the sons of Hades portion of the series and man it was a page turner! Lots of action, twists and if course love.

Keras has only loved one woman, Enyo, the Goddess of War. For two centuries he has mourned losing her. Exiled from the Underworld to the mortal realm to protect the gates and an enemy seeking to merge the Underworld and the mortal realm Keras has hated every minute. Keras, like his father Hades, has two sides one far darker than the other.

Enyo the Goddess of War, lives in Olympus either her brother Ares. She is tired of being at her brothers beck and call, tired of letting him dictate her life. Two hundred years ago she thought her life could be different but her brother had promised her to another and she ended up breaking the heart of the man she loved. Enyo hasn't spoken to Keras since that day but that is all going to change. Enyo wants to help Keras and his brothers in the upcoming battle matter what her brother says.

This book is addicting and hard to put down once you start.

Enjoyable series

I have always enjoyed reading this author's books regardless of what fiction she writes. Felicity spins a tale so vivid and enchanting you fall in love with the characters. The Guardians of Hades is no different. Each brother you learn more about and fall in love with them and their women. The women compliment the men so well. It isn't until you read further that you understand sibling hierarchy. The last book is the eldest and firstborn of Hades. Keras has issues is understated and watching him battle addiction and feelings leads him to where he needs to be. Enyo is a goddess who we have been introduced to before in Marek and we know a bit about her and Keras limited history. Love the battle scenes and descriptive imagery. It would make fantastic digital action on film. Although each brother book can be read separately, I recommend reading it in order to gain the full picture. I compare the reading sequence to watching a tv series. Love it and I am eager for book 8: Thanatos. I suspect our writer has some sneaky mischief up her sleeve for our sexy God of Death.

This book had me gripped, without giving any of the story away, no spoilers. The story of Keras and Enyo, Goddess of War is one of the best, most enthralling, stories I have read for some time. They have known each other for over 200 years, in love, but apart, the meddling of another’s interference. It took a dark addiction, battles with their enemies, and his family to bring two halves of one whole together. The battle scenes were gripping, you felt as though there, fighting with them, hoping and praying they win. That they get their happy ending. Each brother facing his own demons deep inside as they fight to protect all they hold dear. I thoroughly enjoyed the book, Keras and Enya had me gripped, wanting to keep reading to know their story, their passion and love for each other. Their desperation. This book can be read on its own, I do recommend reading the other books as the stories lead into each other and tell the stories of the brothers. A*** is what I give this book. Highly recommended.

This series has been building up since book one, and Keras was meant to be the last book of the series but thankfully that author has decided to add another book with Thanatos, which I'm super excited for.

A lot of stuff happens in this book, we've actually known of Kera's other half pretty much from the beginning. Enyo is the goddess of war, sister to Ares (not Kera's, Ares lol). But finally, they come head to head and it's about time too! Keras has been keeping things from his family, his powers are overwhelming him and the way he deals with it is not the best.

Not only do the two have to deal with their feelings for each other but there is an epic battle coming, and people turning out to be the enemies that they didn't expect. It's a rollercoaster ride from page one and I couldn't put it down once I started. I'm so happy that Keras and Enyo got their happy ending because they both deserved it so much.

Can't wait for book 8, Thanatos

Action packed paranormal romance.
We're back with the brothers again and one thing you'll get with this book is action, because the battle is getting closer. Along with the fight scenes there's a long awaited reconnection of Keras and Enyo. ❤️

Keras has a dark side that needs taming, it's a power that could hurt a lot of people. Keras may be powerful but his also a protective and caring brother and lover it seems!

Enyo, she's a tough cookie herself. She has waited a long time to get her man and she's not backing off this time. I really liked her and of course she's perfect for Keras.

The author keeps you waiting for a hea and trust me there are some really aww moments and some twists in there to throw you off course.

I loved the end of the book, it could have been the series finale, but I'm excited to read the next book.

Keras is the 7th book in the Guardians of Hades series by Felicity Heaton. It could be read as a standalone, but personally I would recommend that you read the other books first so that you can fully understand what is going on and why. Besides, those books are just as fabulous as this one has proven to be so I am sure you will enjoy reading them in the correct order before you get to this one.

Once again there is a major amount of drama, excitement, blood and gore as the Gods of the underworld fight to keep Earth safe. The romantic focus of this story is on Keras and Enyo. Theirs is a love a long time coming but when they finally get their acts together it's earth shattering. This author certainly knows how to write passionate, steamy scenes. Between that and the drama of this story there is never a dull moment and I am more than happy to recommend this book and the whole series.

Keras is by far my favourite character
In this series I was completely captivated by him from the first page, especially drawn to his characters darkness and gorgeous looks ( I know it’s a book character but he’s beautiful) he’s tired with keeping his pain inside and is coming to breaking point to unleash his inner darkness that was caused by the beautiful goddess Enyo.

Enyo has always regretted for centuries the path she chose that broke her relationship and friendship with Keras first born son of hades and instead of looking from the sidelines she’s jumping headfirst in the fight with the sons of hades against the daemons,

I love the depth that each character has in this series the writing gets better and better with each book

Worth the wait? Hell yes!

Keras. I’ve waited so long to get your story and you were so worth it. Sensational read.

He has so much power. Darkness waiting. Whispering. Just itching to come out and play. Can he control that darkness? With Enyo finally making her way back into his life he struggles to control it. She was betrothed to another. He wants her like nothing before.

Enyo. She has wanted him for so long. Lied for so long. Secrets come out. They always do. She is here to help no matter what Hades or her brother wants. She wants to help with the war. She is a goddess of war after all.

Such an amazing read.

Can Keras control himself?
Can Enyo help him defeat it all?
Read this sensational addition to the series and find out.

You know I've waited for Keras almost from the very start of this new series and Felicity brought it to us in her own talented style.

We have some good vs evil, gates between hell and earth. So many emotions running rampant, what a world Ms. Heaton has created, her characters full of life. I really enjoyed the mix of battle, love and betrayal. The fun for me is I wanted to compare it to Death takes a Holiday almost. Hot and sexy was supposed to be chilling and things were just poppin off, which makes for a grumpy Keras.

The connection to the brothers, to earth Miss E, all comes together beautifully as the fight for good over evil continues. Brava Ms. Heaton job well done. Enjoy.

Oh so amazing. This story is so masterfully crafted. The details blow me away. The fight scenes are always intense and very different. Then there is the relationships. The brothers would die for each other. Their mates are the other half of their souls. Keras is the darkest and fights its hold on him. If he lets it take over he could destroy our world and more. Enyo and Keras are confused. Everyone knows how they feel for each other but them. It makes for some interesting scenes. And like the fighting the romance is also intense but beautiful. I loved this series and can’t wait to see what happens next.

Keras the final battle?

This is the story of the last of the brothers to find his mate.
It is fast paced, there is plenty of action, battles etc.
There are also softer moments.

It's a thrilling ride from start to finish.

Enyo the Goddess of War is Keras's love, and the pain of losing her is eating him alive.
Enyo is kicking herself for allowing her brother Ares the God of War to rule her life and is now determined to find out if Keras still has feelings for her.
That's another wild ride.
So can these two star crossed people get back everything they lost.

Well read the book and find out, it'll be well worth the time and investment.

Amazing! I love Felicity Heaton's books. She never disappoints. Her men are always panty-melting and drool worthy and her women are always kick***, take charge types. Her books give you a bit of action, a bit of drama, a bit of suspense and a good amount of romance to make them well- rounded, entertaining, grab-you-by-the-collar-and-shake-you-for-good-measure stories. I will definitely be rereading this story many times in the future and I can't wait to see what the Fantabulous Ms. Heaton comes up with next.

Read this series... You Won't Be Disappointed!!!!!!!

This story was really intense. Keras was addicted to a pill that dulled his feelings and allowed him to not feel, but Enyo came back to him after two centuries to help him. They are in love, but the path to their happy ever after was fraught with danger and war as they battled a rebellion.This story is intense and emotional, and really had me hooked from the first page. I felt for Keras, as he struggled with his addiction and his nature. Awesome story! Really emotional! This series gets better with each story!

OMG! All these books phenomenal

e enjoyed every one of these brothers finding their forever love.
I'm so happy Keras is off the medication and finding and connecting with Enyo. On to Thanatos, I'm going to be upset once I finish these books. Thank god they are bringing out two more books Hades and Persephone. I love having them in my Kindle on my phone i can read or listen to them anytime.
A must who love strong-willed men
And a fantastic story tale.
I can't wait to find out what's next. For Thanatos and the guys too.
