A Veil of Gods and Kings (Apollo Ascending Book 1) by Nicole Bailey – Review by Kerry Carr

A Veil of Gods and Kings by Nicole Bailey
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the first book in the Apollo Ascending series. I really enjoyed this book. The mixture of Greek mythology and romance is unique and very enjoyable. The author does an amazing job with this story and even though it isn’t exactly like the mythology story it was still really enjoyable.

Apollo is half human and half God. He had been living on Earth among the mortals and wants nothing to do with asending to the relms of the Gods. In an attempt to make Apollo take his rightful position as God of the Sun Zeus decides to send him to stay with Prince Hyacinth in an attempt to teach Apollo how to follow his father’s orders.

Prince Hyacinth is watching over the throne the Kings absence. The Prince has secrets he is hiding and having the son of Zeus showing up is the last thing he needs. Already feeling hatred for Apollo they were definately set to make each others time miserable.

However as they spent more time together these feelings changed to the surprise of everyone including Apollo and Hyacinth.

With secrets unravelling, sisters driving both men to distraction and the pressure from Zeus for Apollo to ascend to his throne do they even stand a chance of creating something together? Or is their feelings for each other and relationship doomed from the beginning?
