Games of the Gods #3
Fated Goddess
The mortal world isn’t so bad, except it’s lacking in one thing: the sinfully-sexy Haven Knightfall, the victor of the God Games (thanks to me!), Prince of Hades House and my sworn enemy.
I’m trying not to miss his stupid handsome face or the way he fights me one minute and kisses me the next.
Just when I’ve resigned myself to this new life, one of the Fates shows up at my door on the verge of death. Cronus, King of the Titans, attacked them and now they have a message for me: return to Olympus, stop Cronus, and save the world.
As if it were that easy? But the truth is, as an unwanted orphan most of my life, I always wondered if my destiny might be bigger than I realized. And my fate? It might just be intertwined with Haven’s after all.
The only way to find out is to return to Olympus and face off against the King of the Titans to save the only home I’ve ever known alongside the only man I’ve ever loved.
Fated Goddess is the third and finally book in the Games of the Gods trilogy, a brand new enemies-to-lovers series packed with hate kissing, sizzling tension, and heart-pounding action. Perfect for fans of Meg Xuemei X, Eliza Raine, Jaymin Eve, and K.F. Breene.

I enjoyed this story with all the characters that were within this book. The main characters were Ana Hearthtender and Haven Knightfall.
We are still continuing the story from the other two books in the series. Ana has lost the games, and Haven has won. Since the one that lost the round has to leave Mt. Olympus or if they die within the games. Ana is taking to the gates of Mt. Olympus, they tell her she can't stay there. She is to cross through the gate and into the human world .They also take their power from them. She is surprised when she wakes up that she has her power. She was told that they took it.Why does she still have it? When someone comes looking for her and tells her to return to Mt Olympus. She is surprised because they told her not to return.
After talking to her, she must return and help the people of Mt. Olympus. What she finds out surprised her.
This was a fun story to read. It is the three story in a series. The other two were called "Hades Descendants" and"Vicious Champion."This one had action, adventure, suspense, and surprises throughout. There were a few giggles within.
I read the first and second books in this series and decided to try the third one. I am so happy that I read them all this series was fun.This is my honest, unbiased opinion.

So good! I can't believe the trilogy is complete. Ana was so strong and Haven was swoon worthy! I'm so pleased with this story. 5 stars

The best way to describe how I feel about this series would be MEH. I didn’t hate it but I didn’t really love it either. There are a lot of editing issues.
I enjoyed the world building and the overall plot. It was a tad predictable but that’s not always a bad thing.
I just wish the author would have spent more time building the story and relationships between the characters. I think each of the 3 trials could have been a end of the year test. Ana needed time to bond with Ely so that his betrayal hurt her. She needed time to really have Monserrat be a mentor.
I felt the entire story line was so rushed, she learns who she is and defeats Cronus all with in one or two months and she spent atleast a week of that unconscious from various injuries and another week and a half traveling to the fates.
There were some time line issues, for example at the beginning the the book she mentions they begin trials at 18 and they occur every 5 years. She wasn’t old enough to go to the last one and watched from the bushes. Therefore 5 years ago she was 17. In the final book Cronus states she is 30 years old not 22 like she should be.
There is a lot of going back and forth with a formal language and slang that ends up being conflicting.
It ends up being annoying and taking away from the overall story.
Honestly I loved the idea and I devoured the books. I think the authors are talented and with better editing and more substance could build a series that could be the next viral young adult series.
3 stars for the idea of what this series could have been and what I hope they will produce in the future.

‘Fated Goddess’ is book three and the finale in the Co-authored series Games of the Gods by Nikki Kardnov and Cadence Price. This continues on from book two ‘Vicious Champion’. It’s highly recommended that books one and two are read prior to this. This book has dual povs from Ana and Haven.
After forfeiting the final trial to Haven, Ana is sent to the mortal realm with her powers stripped. Haven being the last of the Hades Descendants he is the winner of the trials thanks to Ana, but he isn’t able to celebrate in the win. Were the Fates right will Haven be safe now that he won, or did Ana forfeit for nothing. Being in the mortal realm should mean that whatever is going on in Olympus shouldn’t be Ana’s problem right, wrong! When one of the Fates show up and tell her she is the only hope that Olympus has, she must decide if she is strong enough to go back. Cause going back means one; she risks death by not staying out of Olympus, two; having to face Haven with no idea if he’ll remember her, and three; having to defeat her father Cronus.
I was happy with this ending to Ana and Haven’s relationship. These two have been like water and oil from the beginning. With no more pressure from the trials in the way these two where finally able to act on their feelings.
If you haven’t read the other books in this series I suggest you stop whatever it is you are doing and go and get book one. This series was a great read that I was able to devour in three days, whilst still maintaining some sort of an adult life with responsibilities. 😝 Cause apparently my kids need to be fed.
Allow I did enjoy this book, I do feel that at certain parts the events that took place were a little rushed through. We have been leading up this major showdown with Cronus and it was over in a matter of minutes. Don’t get me wrong I completely understand the logic behind it. We have watched Ana go from a timid, shy orphan that would accidentally kill flowers whilst picking them, to this trained, strong willed new Goddess with unimaginable powers. Also the ending does leave a few unanswered questions that I’m hoping means we will have sister series in the future.
This book has major revelations some you may have seen coming but if not you are in for a shock. We get to see different sides to both Ana and Haven, you heart is probably going to shatter at times when some of the past is revealed for both.
Thank you ladies for bring Ana, Haven and Olympus to life with this series, I’ve enjoyed this journey you have taken me on. You brought this magical world to life and I am pleased that I was able to experience it. A wonderful storyline with exceptional characters, filled with humour, mystery, action, angst, romance, mythology, magic, witty banter, heartache and adventure.

This is a simply captivating third book in this trilogy
Anna Hearthtender is the loser in the game of Decendants and so she now finds herself taken to the God’s Gate where she is forced into the mortal realm, she has been stripped of her memories and magic and is expected to live as a mere mortal.
However, Anna is not mere in anything she says, does or even thinks she is a very special individual any nothing can ever take the attributes away, they are soul deep. When she awakes after being unconscious for over for days, she discovers that she still has her ability to use magic and she misses Haven Knightfall and she knows that if she is going to stand any chance of saving his life she had to lose, and forfeit her abilities. Everyone knows that Fate can be a cruel mistress, however when you actually experience it first-hand it holds a whole other meaning.
Cronus is still alive and on the loose and knows that he will have to actually battle against his children, he also knows there is a possibility that one of them might be able to kill him. He is a vicious being that is willing to do whatever it takes to continue to hold his seat and kill whoever.
Ana may be Cronus’s daughter and even though she is scared he is willing to accept the task, will she be able to convince Haven to travel with her, this is a riveting read and you will find yourself captivated by the story.
I was totally blown away, so well written with a wonderful plot and characters that you simply found yourself either liking or hating.
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.

Fated Goddess
Ana Hearthtender has lost the Descendants Games. She was taken to the God’s Gate and forced into the Mortal realm. When you lose at the Descendants Trial Games your memory gets erased from everyone, your magic leaves and you are escorted to the God’s Gate to live out your life in the Mortal Realm. Ana is unconscious for four days after the Games. When she wakes, she is overjoyed to see a friend Theo and stay in his house. Something is not right; she still has her magic. She misses Haven Knightfall and all that could have been. To save his life she had to lose/forfeit. The Fates can be cruel.
Cronus is still on the loose. To change Olympus, Cronus must battle his children once again. The Fates have said that only one of his children could imprison or kill him. Cronus has decided his own fate and chosen to kill the three Fates. The barely alive youngest fate comes to Ana in the Mortal Realm, telling Ana what she must do to save Olympus and everyone she loves. Go back through the God Gate, find Haven, journey to find Gaia and defeat Cronus.
Ana is scared but accepts the task. She is Cronus’s daughter. This will not be an easy task. What will she do when no one remembers her? Can she really find and convince Haven to journey with her?
This was a page turner finish to the series, I loved it. I cried at the touching scene when Haven sees his Mother again for one last time. I absolutely loved that there was a heroine that saved Olympus. I also loved her hellhounds, Tarter and Russ.
I want more stories about Olympus, please!

fun
Okay, so I get the thrill of it like a YA book but the sex is all naughty. I can’t exactly cry about any lack of maturity because the heroine was super sheltered and Haven is pretty much abused. But then again they’re all raised rough like that (except Ana) so I’m not really sure what the excuse is for someone like Haven to be pushing people off their feet for laughs, or a god like Hades to lose his cool and composure. And again it’s just a story so I’ll stop digging lol
Ana was pretty ok. I think she thought very highly of herself mainly because she was more powerful and didn’t want to oppress anyone. Not exactly distinctive traits for a great leader when there’s a world of people like that, and unless you’re telling me literally no one else had her compassion, it’s hard to believe.
She was still a little dramatic. As in young. Someone’s literally dying in her arms and instead of it being super somber and serious, she’s whining about the rules not making sense and how she doesn’t wanna do it because it’s not what’s supposed to be. And it took at least two pages.
But the story was so good. And the sex was so nice haha and I’m such a sucker for the Greeks that I enjoyed watching someone tell a tale about the titans. I think it wasn’t too far fetched to see one die.
I think I’d read more from this author.

Not quite 4 & 1/2 stars.
A new reader definitely needs to start with book 1, as each book in this 3 book series continues where the last left off. This book flowed well, & held my attention & was my favorite of the 3 books in the series. The language seemed to fluctuate between more formal English to modern slang type English -which kind of pulled me out of the story. The point of views that changes to Haven's voice- were definitely written oddly, it starts out weird- actually "speaking" in 3rd person before switching to 1st person, then there were chapter changes from Haven's POV -but not labeled as still in Haven's POV, so it was a bit confusing, expecting it to go to Ana's POV. I liked Ana pretty much thru all 3 books. I sure didn't see her parentage being what it turned out to be in the end. Haven was hard for me to like, he was such a bully at first (book 1), then so back & forth/hot & cold with his attitude, it just was really hard to warm up to him. In the end, I was glad to see him change for the better, & I was at least able to like him at times & to not hate him anymore. I absolutely loved the Hell Hounds, they were perfect for the series! I was pleasantly surprised that this whole series was not predictable or boring and this was a very good ending for the series.

I read this entire trilogy in six hours and I cannot fully express how much I enjoyed it. It is so rare to find NA books that are as balanced as these three. There is romance, but it isn't so spicy that it takes from the plot. There is ample mythology and lore. The plot is captivating and the characters are ones to root for. Now there were moments that found me telling at the protagonist or the hero calling them idiots, but I was entirely immersed. I love stories that reveal that the strong willed heroine is so much more than she thought. Despite Ana's ability to make drastic assumptions, she was very likeable and endearing. I rooted for her the whole way! Um also, THE CHEMISTRY. WOW. It had me at the edge of my seat. The story fully took me in and I found I could do nothing until I completed the trilogy. The authors have woven a beautiful world with loveable characters, rich lore, and mystery. I would recommend these books a million times over! They are perfect for those who enjoy enemies to lovers, mythology, fantasy, and coming of age books. As someone who has moved on past YA, I found it easy to connect with the 22yo protagonist. Read these books, I promise that once you start you won't be able to look away until you finish! Go Ana!

Fated Goddess was my most anticipated read of 2020!!! I couldn't wait to see how everything turned out for Ana and Haven. I wanted to both devour it and savior it. I ended up devouring it in one day because it was just so good! I couldn't have imagined a better ending though bittersweet as I don't want to leave Olympus. It had me laughing, smirking, and even crying (which I don't usually do while reading.) It was such a easy book to read and I mean that in the best possible way because you don't even realize that you are reading because it plays out in your mind like a movie. It's just so well written! I absolutely loved Ana and Haven's characters and you can't help but root for them. They had wonderful chemistry and great steamy scenes. The whole story was so interesting and kept me entertained the whole time. The whole series is fantastic and I highly recommend it to anyone who loves romance. This isn't even my normal genre and I couldn't get enough of it! I absolutely love Nikki Kardnov's books and highly recommend her other series as well if you're looking for something to read after finishing this series.

First off, I don't like reading books with cliffhangers so if I rave about a book/series it means the author did a outstanding job where I don't mark it down. The first book hooked me in this series about Anastasha Hearthtender and Haven Knightfall who were chosen to represent the House of Hades in the Descendant Games until only one remains. This book the third of the series starts when Cronus kills the Fates to change and control his fate of being defeated by one of his children. Ana wakes up in the human world expecting to be mortal but isn't because flowers and trees bloom around her and she misses Haven. Haven and his brothers still remember Ana and belittle him on how he won which they shouldn't remember her or the event and they're preparing for a war against Cronus. When one of the fates that escaped Cronus wrath contacts Ana, this is the beginning of the adventures of Ana and Haven in this enjoyable finish to the series. I volunteer to read and review this ARC via Booksprout and the author.

No more riddles, only revelations for a thrilling trilogy conclusion
Fated Goddess (Games of the Gods Book 3) by Nikki Kardnov and Cadence Price is a very well written trilogy finale.This book was absolutely fascinating in a spellbinding way, truly a page turner as Ana and Haven discover one revelation after another on their own paths of the same journey. Still wonderful and yet more awesome in this book, Haven is the perfect alpha protector as Ana spreads her magical ‘wings’ learning all that she is, as well as her capabilities. Not only is Ana kind, she’s also kicks some serious Titan tail!
The plot, in Ana’s words was one step forward, ten steps backward, but in the end, one giant leap forward into ultimate action and recognition of love too.
Overall, a very well written paranormal romance with emotional depth, overflowing love, suspense and danger in the non-stop action leading to the ultimate resolution and HEA for Ana and Haven.
I received a free copy of this book from Booksprout and am voluntarily sharing my review.

The plot, in Ana’s words was one step forward, ten steps backward, but in the end, one giant leap forward into ultimate action and recognition of love too.
Overall, a very well written paranormal romance with emotional depth, overflowing love, suspense and danger in the non-stop action leading to the ultimate resolution and HEA for Ana and Haven.

Nikki Kardnov has written a 5-star book. Ana has been banished from Olympus to the mortal world. Her friend Theo finds her and brings her back to his home. She has been out for four days and they start talking. Theo's girlfriend Reyla comes home for lunch and so does Theo. After Reyla leaves Theo and Ana talk again and all of a sudden the door opens and Ana is shocked to see one of the Fate there. The Fate tells Ana that she has to go back in order to save Haven. Ana tells her she can't go back due to being banished. The Fate tells Ana that if she doesn't go back then Olympus and everyone on it will be no more. Ana ends up going back and runs into Haven. She tells him the story the Fate told her and he is part of the story. They both must deal with different things and trust each other. They both learn new things about themselves that make them a better person.
Will Ana be able to deal with what she must do?
Can Haven deal with what Ana becomes?
This was a wonderful book and I would recommend this book to anyone.

This is the conclusion in this trilogy. Cronus is still determined to change Olympus in his way. To do so he must battle his children.
Ana has lost the final trial and has been brought to the Gods gate to the Mortal realm. Something happens and Ana wakes up in Theo’s apartment and somehow still has her magic. A barely alive youngest Fate shows up at Theo’s apartment to give Ana advice for her destiny. In her last breaths she tells Ana she needs to return to Olympus to save it, have Haven journey with her, and most importantly find Gaia the Mother Of All. Ana also finds out that she is a Goddess as well as a Titan. Ana so badly wanted the truth about her identity and her destiny, everything comes together in this final book for her. Ana and Haven finally tell each other how they really feel and Haven has a few emotional scars from his past that are finally put to rest for him as well. This was such an incredibly good and fun read. I am sad to see it end.

This is the last part in a series of 3 books in which Ana and Haven, in the world of the Gods, are central. Ana learns who her parents are, but that is not the end. Cronus, the Titan, is still out to submit Olympus to his power and then open the gate between the human world and the world of the Gods. To accomplish that, he plans to kill all of his children, the Gods. He wants Ana next to him with all her power.
Ana and Haven try to prevent this from happening and while they do this they grow towards each other.
This section shows the maturity they both have achieved. Their infighting is behind them, their love for each other strong. Ana learns to control her powers and is stronger than she ever thought possible. The insecure orphan has become the Godess of Time and Fate.

I loved this series so very much. Anna Hearthtender forfeited the trials and was removed from Olympus to be forgotten. However, she wasn't forgotten and it's driving Haven Knightfall crazy. Everyone is up in arms about the Titan, Cronus, being lose to destroy them all. Anna and Haven join forces with his ragtag group of soldiers and are they a force to be reckoned with. Anna and Haven will discover who her mother is and will fight Cronus (who has captured all of the other Gods). When she loses Haven in the Underworld, she loses all of inhibitions and fights with everything in her. Will the Earth Mother compensate her for her loss? I love the way this book ended! I had the good feels for about a week after I finished. I requested a free advanced reader copy from Booksprout and am under no obligation to leave this review.

When I started reading this book, I had no idea it was the third book in a trilogy and that I needed to read the first two parts in order to understand what had lead to the actions at the beginning of this book. Even so, it wasn’t long before this book had me hooked, and I had gathered the information needed to understand what was going on. I loved the twists and turns this book took even while using the traditional mythology as we know it. From Hades to Big Leif, this book is filled with colorful characters who will keep you enthralled throughout all of their adventures. And now, it is time for me to go back and read the first two books in the series…that's my fate.

Ana thought she now would have to settle for living in the mortal world, but fate doesn't let her get too settled, before it's pushing at her to go back to face her destiny. Going back might risk her life, although at least she might see Haven again, but will he remember her? Or will she be the only one with memories of what happened before? Ana has a large task ahead of her, will it be too much? I loved this final conclusion to this fascinating tale, and the humour and banter between Ana and Haven, I was left with a huge grin, and loved how the whole story played out

Wow What A Finale!
I love love LOOOOVE this book! I have been a fan of the entire series but this book was really just out of this world. All our questions were answered, a few more twists got thrown in for good measure, Ana finally fully came into her own and wowww the chemistry between her and Haven was still FIRE. I continue to be in awe of Nikki's work and this trilogy was no different! My only wish is that there was going to be even more to the story. Ah well..... one can hope for a surprise novella or something to come out in the future! ;)

The perfect ending to Ana and Haven’s story! Ana goes back to Olympus to save the world she grew up in and to save the man she now knows she loves. Haven cant forget Ana and has so many regrets. This book wa full of twists, turns, gasp out loud surprises, and steam to spare. I really love that Ana knows who she is and how powerful she is. I love Haven allowing her to be who she was meant to be and being her helpmate through it all. I love a happy ending and this is one of the best. Great series, great ending.

Ana Hearthtender was taken to the God’s Gate, forced into the Mortal realm. Her memory erased and past erased, magic stolen. Unconscious for days awaking, she is overjoyed to see Theo. But something is amiss she still has her magic, and she misses Haven. Ana finds what she must do to save Olympus and everyone she loves. Go back through the God Gate, find Haven, journey to find Gaia and defeat Cronus.
The Cronus is still on the loose and to change Olympus, Cronus must battle his children once again.Ana is Cronus’s daughter, scared but accepts the task.
This is a spellbinding page turner from start to finish, I loved it.

Nikki Kardnov and Cadence Price as a dynamic writing team bring “Fated Goddess” Book 3 in The Games of the Gods Series to a wonderful close in this page turning, riveting tale of the gods of Olympus.
I thoroughly enjoyed this wonderful story! A fantastic plot, great characters, sizzling chemistry, edge of your seat action, great dialogue and banter (aside from some of the language used which is a personal preference), romance and wonderful world by building. Ana and Haven were well matched. She was a perfectly drawn heroine. This was a well written, easy, satisfying must read.
Thanks so much Nikki and Cadence for this delightfully entertaining story.

I’ve been looking forward to reading book 3 to this series sadly it’s the last book of the series but I will say that it blew my mind I knew there was always something special about Ana but I’m not going to tell you what that is your just going to have to find out for yourself. This is a heart pounding nail biting suspenseful story I loved it and the brilliant characters, there are so many great things I can say about this story but this review would be too long but I definitely recommend this book/ series.

Fated Goddess by Nikki Kardnov is the final story in the Games of the Gods series. This is the story of Ana and Haven. She has been returned to the Mortal Realm with no memories or magic. But, there is more to her than meets the eye.
This story was a fitting, exciting, steamy, and satisfying conclusion to a wonderfully delightful series!!! I very much enjoyed this story and the entire trilogy!!!!

This is the third book of Games of the Gods Series and the conclusion. This has been a different, but enjoying series. Ana has no idea who her parents are or if she has any supernatural gifts other than instantly killing flowers. However, this does come in handy near the end of the book. Haven finally understands that she is her own person and able to fight beside him. Good world building with strong and memorable characters. Many surprises at end. Good read!

This is the wonderful conclusion to Games of the Gods Trilogy and what a thrill ride it was. After being reunited with no memory loss, both Ana and Haven must continue their paths that are one and the same journey. Gods, violence, betrayals, predictions, vengeance, action, and adventure will culminate in revelations, resulting in one entertaining and satisfying conclusion to this fabulous storyline. I loved this series, and Nikki Kardnov has never failed to impress with her writing.

This is one exciting book. I grabbed this one because the blurb made it sound exciting and I was not disappointed. Unfortunately, I came in on the back end so I am sure there are things from the first two books that might clarify some things for me. Anyway, it was a delight to read and I normally don't read much fantasy type reads, but this one was worth the time to read. A very gripping and exciting tale. Recommended.
