Blood of Hercules
by Jasmine Mas
Our rating
Spice: mild. Darkness: very dark.
Alexis Hert takes a blood test and lands in a Spartan war academy built inside a Coliseum, where her mentors are gladiators Achilles and Patro and her professors are heirs to the underworld. Everyone is cruel to her. Unhinged, funny in a bleak way, and much meaner than the cover.
