Blood of Hercules (Villains of Lore, #1)

by Jasmine Mas

There has been no great wisdom without an element of madness.

They knew nothing of conflict, greed, or jealousy. All was peaceful. Then humans arrived.

“The devil has a pretty face, and humanity is going to hell for worshipping it.”

Dorean was the type of woman I aspired to be. Strong. Bold. Intimidating. Able to verbalize her intrusive thoughts.

But trauma bonds didn’t change your appearance, just your souls.

We’re the lucky ones. The foster parents are gone. We’re free of their abuse.

“Steal a gun from a mercenary,” Nyx said. “Shoot her in both legs, then run for it. Do it quickly. I’ll cover you.”

Nyx choosing violence everytime kills me hahaha

it turned out even a massacre wasn’t enough to overcome my fear of speaking to strangers.

Excuse me? A marriage law at twenty-six? I’d be a child bride.

Actually, I don’t understand, and I have a lot of questions.

You and i both sis

“More commonly known to some of you as advanced mathematics, or as I like to call it—fun.”

Uhm math and fun dont go in the same sentence. EVER

A man was speaking, so I stopped listening.

“If you dare harm yourself,” he rasped softly, high cheekbones glinting like razor blades, “I’ll bring you back to life and torture you for all of eternity.”

Ok...I know this is a threat; but holy moly

It wasn’t about women being as tough as men; it was about the fact that they shouldn’t have to be.

Aut viam inveniam aut faciam—I shall either find a way or make one.

“she puked on the passed-out, fallen boy to assert her dominance over him.” Oh...that’s not good.

Hahahaha okay, thats one way to say it. Go Alexis & Kharon for hyping up our girl

“My name is not Karen,” he spat with vitriol, like I’d gravely insulted him. “It’s pronounced Ch-ar-on.” I narrowed my eyes. “Okay, but it’s spelled with a K.” “Say my name,” he ordered. “Now, Alexis.” “Kharon?” I muttered. “Did you just say Karen again?” “What? No...” I squinted. “Wait, can you pronounce it again?”

This scene had me in tears! Alexis youre not alone, i was totally saYing KAREN too =P

“Bye, Karen,” I whispered spitefully.

“Who. The. Fuck. Did. THIS. TO. YOU?” Kharon’s raspy voice

“I gave her all the jerky—but it wasn’t enough.”

ugh not Fluffy!!!!!
