Her Lord of Death by Katherine Diane is the most tantalizing and engrossing book I've read in 2020! Its wonderful and I cannot wait to share it with all my friends who like steamy romance that involves tragic back stories, alpha male love interests who strive to protect the heroine, and supernatural historical romance!

I didn't expect to love this book as much as I do. Admittedly, I'm a picky bitch when it comes to historical fiction that features ancient cultures especially ones involving mythology. I'm a Polytheist and a former Classical student so I am so often let down by stories that don't do the research or discuss honoring the Gods in a demeaning way. This book was AMAZING!

It hit all my hot spots for a sexy, romantic read.
Witty dialogue that actually did make me laugh out loud (my partner gave me a few confused looks while I was giggling over conversations between Kore and Acheron). YUP!
Dominant alpha male type who isn't a total asshole? Check!
Strong willed but soft heroine who isn't too stupid to live? Check!
Paranormal, supernatural, witchy shit? YES!
Historical and mythological references that aren't totally inaccurate? WOOHOO!
SO many goodies AND well written!

Plus there was the addition of side characters that were fully developed, a villain I could sympathize with and another I LOVED to HATE. There's also the hurt/comfort scenes with loads of tragic back story that I'm sorry to say I enjoy so much in romance.

If you enjoy dark fantasy romances like Black Jewels Trilogy, wanted more from ancient greco-roman mythology classics, and need a steaming hot read that you won't want to put down - grab Her Lord of Death!

I'm excited this book is being rereleased, because I don't think I would have come across it otherwise.

I really have no complaints about this. I love stories that intertwine ancient Greek life and myths, I love a good slow burn romance, and I love complex characters and plot. This has all of the above.

It's such a gripping story that I hope KD chooses to write more books set within this world.
