A Veil of Gods and Kings: Apollo Ascending Book 1

5 stars

Half-Mortal and Half-God, Apollo has always refused his ascension to Olympus to become the god of the sun, preferring the company of mortals and the mortal realm. Summoned by his Father Zeus he is given a choice, take his position as a god on Olympus immediately, or mentor under Prince Hyacinth for a year before his inevitable ascension. To protect the people and village he cares about from Zeus’s wrath, Apollo agrees and is sent to Hyacinth. Together for a year, their relationship changes from a mutual hatred to one that might just destroy everything they love.
I’m definitely looking for the next book ASAP! Nicole Bailey creates a fabulous ancient world full of vivid and beautiful imagery that pulled me right into Apollo and Hyacinth’s story. Her twist on this Greek myth was fresh, engaging, and romantic with plenty of tension and buildup. I could not put it down! The sibling relationship between Apollo and Temi was so endearing and realistically portrayed I couldn’t help but think about my own brothers and sisters. I highly recommend this series to anyone who loves a wonderful enemies-to-lovers romance full of captivating characters, Greek Gods, and ancient secrets.
