Blood of Hercules by Jasmine Mas
5/5 Stars
WOW. Blood of Hercules was such an insane book so it HAS to be my first proper review of 2026.
I was hooked from the first page and quite literally had to have this book pried from my hands between lectures this week. Blood of Hercules delivers a refreshing, unique take on Greek mythology with a futuristic twist and brutal Spartan War Academy. Honestly, what MORE could you ask for?
Alex Hert is neither a hero or a god... she is first and foremost a survivor. She battles for both her life and future against fate itself gripping me from start to finish. Jasmine Mas' writing style is hilarious, sharp and emotionally unhinged in the best way possible. Alexis is so quirky, strange and witty that I genuinely did not know whether to cry or laugh at times but she really grows on you fast.
This book is plot twist after plot twist after plot twist. If you love to be kept guessing 'what could possibly happen next?!?', rooting for an underdog and indulging in some terribly toxic men, then this book is perfect for you! Ruthless academy, intense mentors and professors (Achilles, Patro, Augustus and Kharon) and some high stakes... need I say more?
I would recommend this book and happily reread this again soon. Cannot wait to see what Jasmine Mas plans next!
