No, this is not the story of Medusa, you dumb fucks. Do I seem like the type of girl who runs to someone else for help? The Gods and Goddesses are absolutely no help. Trust me.
Sorry, you don’t know me yet. Let me go ahead and let you know that I’m definitely not that type. I’m a badass hot chick with knees like Megan the Stallion, thank you very much! (I have someone helping me get caught up on things about Earth)
I’m talking about my personality when I say I was once beautiful. I used to be a sweet and innocent twelve-year-old girl. I loved bacon and pit bulls like everyone else.
Then puberty hit along with some crazy cravings and even crazier urges to be… bad. Trust me, it’s not a good look for a princess to suck on the bloody finger of her seamstress when she pricks her finger. The urges? Let’s just say I may have plotted out the epic demise of my father after he sent me to my room without dessert one night.
I didn’t carry out the act, but I thought about it…
Anyway, it turns out that I’m a mix of… Well, I’m not sure. Things just keep happening and abilities keep showing. I’m not complaining! I like a little blood and gore every now and then, especially if it means killing a few enemies (and bystanders) along the way.
Okay, I’m getting ahead of myself. Let’s start with my parents. I’m not talking about the King and Queen of the Fae Summer Courts, either. Come to find out… I’m adopted! Yup, Mom dropped that bomb on me through the bars of my cell. I’m the illegitimate child of a God and Goddess who weren’t even supposed to be fucking. I’m the proof, and they can’t have me walking around up there, so here I am in this realm.
Yeah, I’m a fucking Goddess.
Well, I can be, but we’ll get into all that later on. Right now, I need to let you know the reason why I’m even telling you this story. You know, what made me into the psychotic bitch that you see today.
It was a fucking guy!
I know, right? How can such a powerful woman be ruined by a little boy with a tiny dick? Okay, so I don’t know if it’s really small or not, but I’m sure it is!
He broke my heart, you guys. We were betrothed from birth, and I was sent to the Winter Courts for a month-long courtship. We were supposed to meet and get to know each other, like a regular pre-married couple of teenagers should do. Things started happening to me, and I couldn’t keep it hidden no matter how hard I tried. He might’ve found me fang-deep in a maid or burning down the tool shed at the end of the garden. I don’t know what the actual incident was, but he found out about my issues and had me imprisoned.
Can you believe it? Me! How fucking rude!
Mother is the one who told me about the decree after that. He was so appalled about my mixed-up nature that he declared for all creatures of hybrid blood to be enslaved.
You can guess how well that went over with the populace.
The people were in an uproar that a little prince was throwing a temper tantrum about his girlfriend being different from him. At least, that’s how Mother described it. She’s always said that he was a spoiled brat whose parents let him do whatever he wanted. The people that rebelled against him were put to death.
It became a dark time in the Realm of Mabrala as a whole.
Anyway, make sure you pay attention to my words, people! I’m only going to tell this story once.
this was a great start to the Their Vengeful Goddess Duet series. The cover was what drew me in and I'm glad I read this, it had what I enjoyed about the genre. I enjoyed getting to know these characters and their world. It was what I was hoping it would be.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
I love the world building and the black girl magic!! It made you laugh and cry and still want more! The story moved in a fast pace which I really enjoyed!! Look forward to reading more from author! I actually bought this book! I don’t regret it!!
