About this listen

 HERCULES IS BACK. AND YOU'RE BOUND TO LOVE HER.

In this hotly anticipated follow-up to Jasmine Mas’s BLOOD OF HERCULES, the stakes are higher and the villains darker than ever…

Every hero has their monsters.

And Alexis is bound to hers: tied eternally, irrevocably to the Underworld’s dark heirs in a marriage that has shaken the foundations of Olympus – and everything Alexis once believed. Reeling, she enlists in the Assembly of Death with her mentors, set on wrecking vengeance on her husbands and uncovering the truth behind her deadly powers.

She will soon teach them all that a god can’t be manacled. And a monster can’t be caged…

‘THAT WAS SO GOOD!!! Wow. I’ll be thinking about this book for awhile. Greek mythology + a spartan war academy + a STRONG FMC?! It was perfection. I love all the twists and turns and the guessing along the way. It was such a unique Hercules story and I’m OBSESSED! I need book 2 asap.

Bonds or Hercules! Wow what a read! I have to admit I was totally lost in the beginning, thinking where is Hercules??? Cuz I stupidly read book 2 first!
Turns out in this adaptation, Hercules is a girl called Alexis!
Once I figured that out it was smooth sailing!

Alexis is our FMC (aka Hercules) and is the daughter of Hades and Persephone and is married to not 1 but 2 other heirs to the Greek gods - this is all clearly explained at the beginning of the book (which is super helpful).

This book was super engaging and funny - especially our FMC which is rather refreshing.

It’s a great mix of fantasy, romance and comedy, although it is thought provoking and has some trigger warnings to think about, it’s also light hearted and full of love.

I can’t wait to read the next instalment, which hopefully goes more into Medusa with Achilles and Patro!
