Laura Fonseca (daddy_girl_ynk) | 90 comments I would like to read a series with greek mythology in it, preferably an adult series with a lot of romance. Thanks!

Have you looked into The Lords of The Underworld series by Gena Showalter or the Dark Hunter Series by Sherrilyn Kenyon?


Danielle Book Boss (daniellebookboss) My first thought was Dark Hunters too, starting with Fantasy Lover (Dark-Hunter companion novel) by Sherrilyn Kenyon .

Another could be Red Fire (Gods of Midnight, #1) by Deidre Knight by Diedre Knight. This is about King Leonidas and his fallen soldiers. Has some cameos from Greek gods. It's a completed series too.

Netanella | 38 comments Tina Folsom does a great job with her "Out of Olympus" series. I've read the first two and really enjoyed the second.

A Touch of Greek (Out of Olympus, #1) by Tina Folsom A Scent of Greek (Out of Olympus, #2) by Tina Folsom A Taste of Greek (Out of Olympus, #3) by Cynthia Cooke

I know you said "Preferably Adult" but there is a YA one that has the premise'. It's set in a school for descendants of the Gods. Oh. My. Gods. by Tera Lynn Childs.

Oh My Gods and Goddesses! by Circe. I will admit--I haven't read this one, but hey, it's by Circe (sorceress extradinaire in mythology) and it looked like it might be funny.

The Strangely Beautiful Tale of Miss Percy Parker Not to put too many spoilers in, but, well, think Persephone and Hades. . .

Rachel Annie (snapdragoness) Eternal Guardians Series by Elizabeth Naughton.

First book, Marked (Eternal Guardians, #1) by Elisabeth Naughton is free for Kindle.
http://www.amazon.com/Marked-Eternal-...

THERON-Dark haired, duty bound and deceptively deadly. He's the leader of the Argonauts, an elite group of guardians that defends the immortal realm from threats of the Underworld.

From the moment he walked into the club, Casey knew this guy was different. Men like that just didn't exist in real life--silky shoulder-length hair, chest impossibly broad, and a predatory manner that just screamed dark and dangerous. He was looking for something. Her.

She was the one. She had the mark. Casey had to die so his kind could live, and it was Theron's duty to bring her in. But even as a 200-year-old descendent of Hercules, he wasn't strong enough to resist the pull in her fathomless eyes, to tear himself away from the heat of her body.

As war with the Underworld nears, someone will have to make the ultimate sacrifice.


Other books in the bestselling ETERNAL GUARDIANS SERIES:
MARKED (Book 1)
ENTWINED (Book 2)
TEMPTED (Book 3)
ENRAPTURED (Book 4)
ENSLAVED (Book 5)
BOUND (Book 6 - coming soon)

Megan (megandurrence) | 78 comments I didn't see the Covenant series recommended. It starts with Half-Blood, but there is a short prequel called Daimon. Really good! I'm currently reading the fifth book :)

That was my first thought, too. Great series.

Danielle I totally agree that is the perfect book to start if you're into a series with a lot of Greek myth.l

Tracy | 15 comments pc cast has the goddess series which ive read all but 1, they were good. The Lords of The Underworld series by Gena Showalter is also great.


message 14: by Lisa (new)

Lisa (lisancandice) | 33 comments It's more Young Adult but SO very good, Josephine Angelini, Dreamless series, tons of action and great Greek Mythology, it's one of my favorites!!


message 15: by Sanja (new)

Sanja I know this is mainly for kids but I promise the next series is a lot more well dark if you will. It's the Percy Jackson series and the follow up is Heroes of Olympus by Rick Riordan. That's the only Greek myth series I read. But they are fantastic.


message 16: by Emily (new)

Emily | 10 comments Nicole Hamlett's Huntress series is like a new take on Greek mythology. Not especially steamy though, if that's what you are looking for, but there is romance. Here is a link to the first: http://www.amazon.com/Huntress-A-Grac...

Jacqueline Carey's series Kushiel's Legacy is very adult, but less so with Greek mythology though the second one deals with it a little IIRC. Here is a link: http://www.amazon.com/Kushiels-Dart-J...

HelenKrg | 2 comments Sherrilyn Kenyon's Dark Hunter, Were hunter and Dream Hunter books. If you are already familiar with greek mythology you will enjoy the way she twists it immensely. And if you are not you will love it just the same.

Yvette | 124 comments Accidentally in Love with...A God? (Accidentally Yours, #1) by Mimi Jean Pamfiloff
Sun God Seeks…Surrogate? (Accidentally Yours, #3) by Mimi Jean Pamfiloff

I've read the first one and I loved it. It has some funny stuff and love of course.

I don't think they are GREEK but they are Gods. :D


Karma♥Bites ^.~ (karma_bites) | 62 comments Some of the later books in Karen Chance's Cassie Palmer series include Greek (as well as some Celtic/Norse) mythos. For me, this series is more UF + romance, vs PNR. *Think*, but not sure, that the mythos storyline starts w/ book #4:

Curse the Dawn (Cassandra Palmer, #4) by Karen Chance Curse the Dawn


message 20: by Missyb (new)

Missyb | 493 comments my first thought was the Dark Hunter series by Kenyon, as the others have already mentioned, it's chocked full of the Greek gods. The Demonica and LOD series by Ione deal with the gods but I cannot remember which they are.


message 21: by Netanella (new)

Netanella | 38 comments You can also try the "Unspun" series, about the three Greek fates - immortal sisters in Greek mythology, children of Zeus.

Creating Fate (Unspun, #1) by Rachel Firasek Stealing Fate by Berinn Rae Chasing Fate (Unspun #3) by Elle J. Rossi

Kristy Knight (kristyreadsalot) | 1 comments the first series that came to my mind was the Dark Hunter series. It is a great series.
