Description
SIXTH BOOK RELEASING SOON: VENUS RISING
After narrowly escaping with her life, Aphrodite wakes up to find herself at the demigods’ base camp—a gorgeous tropical island. Powerless and injured, she has no choice but to glamour herself as a demigoddess in order to find out what’s really going on. Lucky for her, she’s not alone. Ares is with her, also in disguise. But she soon realizes she might be more of a liability than an asset when her panic attacks and nightmares threaten to expose them both.
Ares is as anxious as anyone to shut down the demigods’ plot. But right now, all he can think about is Aphrodite. He almost killed her, for Gods’ sake! And though the timing couldn’t be any worse, he’s falling hard and fast. He’ll do anything to protect her . . . even if it means sacrificing himself.
Still, they find allies in the most unexpected places . . .
More goddess than demigoddess, Medea is married to the rebel leader, Jason. But there’s something odd going on. Jason is acting very strange, and Medea finds herself drawn to a new demigoddess who mysteriously arrived on the island half-dead. She senses there’s more to this visitor than meets the eye. Little does she guess . . .
War is coming, there’s no doubt. But, in her weakened state, does Aphrodite have any hope of surviving it?

Thank you Netgalley for providing me with an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review!
Everything Bevis writes is amazing. I loved her Persephone series, and I'm glad she's continuing on with Aphrodite's story. She can write, and I want her to continue to write. She puts a whole new meaning into gods and goddesses and mythology!

I received a free copy of this ebook through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
From the book description, I anticipated that this book would be told through three perspectives: Aphrodite's, Ares's, and Medea's. Sadly, Ares didn't get any chapters--I was looking forward to seeing inside his head more. But that's okay.
Aphrodite has definitely grown on me since she first appeared earlier in the series, and so has Ares. I like how although he's the god of war, he is not truly bloodthirsty. Bevis is successfully giving the characters in Greek mythology more dimension than the characteristics to which they're commonly reduced, and even those have received a bit more depth and explanation. It's interesting to see how the actual myths about Aphrodite are playing out in these books. I was wondering how Hephaestus would play into things, and although there's not anything between them, we're given an idea about how she ends up marrying him (not a spoiler--it's Greek mythology, and it doesn't even happen in this book).
Medea practically required my pity and sympathy right from the start, though not intentionally. She's not a "pity me" character, but she still has lots of room to grow a backbone. Her life has been a hard one, to put it lightly, and her troubles didn't stop when Jason pulled her out of her previous circumstances. She's the type of character that makes me want to jump into the book and bust up some faces, and I kind of hope she does it herself. I was torn on her . . . condition, I admit. Part of me sided with her, and part of me with Jason. Well, not with Jason, necessarily--we just shared one part of his opinion. It's a fine, very thought-provoking line.
I hated Jason from the beginning. There's not much else to say about him right now except I still hate him.
Goodreads doesn't have the next book, Venus Rising, listed yet. But it's supposed to come out sometime this year.
Note: Some swearing, but I don't recall f words. Implied sex (really, nothing on the page--yes!).
