The Song of Achilles tells the love story of Achilles and Patroclus, as well as their tragic end in the Trojan War.
I always say the best stories are those that keep you interested even when you know the end (because we all know what happens in the Trojan War). The book kept me immersed in the drama and action, as well as the loving relationship of the main characters. By the end, they turned into star-crossed lovers and it broke my heart. I wept, and I was content.

Greece in the age of heroes. Patroclus, an awkward young prince, has been exiled to the court of King Peleus and his perfect son Achilles. Despite their differences, Achilles befriends the shamed prince, and as they grow into young men skilled in the arts of war and medicine, their bond blossoms…
A Veil of Gods and Kings is a retelling of the Greek myth about the Demi-god Apollo and his lover, prince Hyacinth.
They are polar opposites. One is a happy-go-lucky god who runs away from responsibility. The other is a prince with his entire kingdom on his shoulders. They are forced to spend time together and we watch how they slowly balance each other while falling in love.
This is the first book of a series and it has little action (there is more later), but it was a treat to observe how a loving relationship can not only make the lovers into better people but also extend this positivity to the community and make the kingdom a better place.
A Draught of Ash and Wine is the sequel to A Bargain of Blood and Gold.
The series tells the story of the unlikely team-up of a vampire and a hunter, as they navigate an intricate world full of fantasy creatures and solve mysteries. John and Vic are one of my favorite fictional power couples. This mutual struggle to be as careful and as attentive to the other as possible is what I live for in an MM romance. Their chemistry was instantaneous, yet excruciatingly slow burn.
In this second book, their relationship unfolds, while a few secrets come to light. I laughed, and I cried while reading.
Raphael is a despondent angel prince who spends his time on drugs and entertainment, trying to forget the unfair inequality of his kingdom he can do nothing about. But this changes one night when he witnesses the inhuman abilities of a young demon from the capital’s ghetto. In an instant, he knows how to change his kingdom.
Dante never trusted angels, much less royals, but after Prince Raphael saves him from an execution for a crime he didn't commit, he follows him. And while the royal court is scandalized by the presence of a demon in the royal palace, he and his new employer work together to reveal the worst secrets of the angel elite.
