Calling all fans of dragons AND Greek
Gods. You do NOT want to miss CHAOTIC WAR, Sons of War book 3, by Lia
Davis. Lia gives you sexy dragons and
Greek Gods in a sexy and thrilling story that you simply must read.
While Zavier
Sullivan may be the calm, reserved brother, his dragon is not. Especially since
the beautiful, unorganized demi-goddess, Danielle Roberts—a.k.a Elle—moved into
the mansion and into his life. She disturbs his OCD and makes him yearn for
things he shouldn’t, but he can’t stay away from her. Nor can he deny her
anything. Including his blood.
Ever since
arriving at the home of the Sons of War, Elle has been plagued with dreams of
the past and future. The visions are taking a toll, causing her debilitating
headaches and ruining her sleep, but she doesn’t know what it all means. Her
mother, Nyx, the Goddess of Night, has never bothered to show up and explain
things to her. Until she arrives and unlocks Elle's powers, promptly
transforming her into a half-daimon, half-goddess. Now, Zavier may be her only
hope of holding onto her humanity, but can she bond with him after everything
she’s seen? Especially in the midst of everything the Sons and their mates are
going through.
You’re fucking weak.
Elle painted while her mind
reeled with thoughts of Zavier holding her as she slept. Usually, his touch
muted the invasion of the visions, but not this time. Images that she didn’t
recognize, which had grown more and more fuzzy the longer she was awake, had
disturbed what would’ve been a peaceful sleep.
She shouldn’t be surprised,
though. The dreams had been getting worse. And so was the increase of power
running through her veins. It was as if something inside her was waking up.
What, she didn’t know. She sensed something dark, which pushed her to do more
research on Nyx, her mother and the goddess of night.
Nyx had mothered a number of
gods and daimons, including the two spirits of death; the keres were female daimons
of cruel death, and Thanatos was the god of non-violent death. Although some
scriptures considered Thanatos a daimon. But it was the blood-hungry keres Elle
fixed on. The she-daimons were vicious and violent.
Elle’s blood ran cold with fear.
What if she turned into a creature like her sisters?
Then there was the threat on
Zavier’s life. She gripped the brush tighter. Garrick would die before she let
him harm anyone she cared about, including her dragon. Although she wasn’t sure
she wanted to mate him just yet, she knew it would come to that one day.
“You should get more sleep.”
Elle shook her head at Gwen’s
soft command. “I can’t.”
“Did your nap help?”
Casting her friend a narrow-eyed
glare over her shoulder, Elle pursed her lips. After a moment, she relaxed and
set her brush and palette on the worktable then sat on the leather loveseat in
her half of the room. “It’s been too long since I’ve had a peaceful sleep. I’m
not sure I’ll ever have one. Zavier stirs up too much emotion.”
The dragon frustrated her,
turned her on, and made her want things that were impossible—like a normal,
vision-free life.
Gwen sat beside her and took her
hands. “You let fear drive you. I can feel it surrounding you. Fear fuels the
darkness. You must learn to use it in a positive way.”
“Easy for you to say. You’re not
half daimon.”
“True, but not all daimons are
bad. Sure, because they’re Nyx’s children, they’re more powerful than daemons
and many have god-like strengths, but...” Gwen hugged her and leaned her head
against Elle’s. “Search inside yourself. Find your light and let it shine.”
Elle let a soft chuckle escape.
There was a time when Gwen would have boldly spoken her mind. However, since
her powers had been unlocked, she’d had to learn to be less bold and more
vague. She was, after all, a goddess of fate, so her words could alter one’s
future if she weren’t careful. Sometimes things slipped out and Aphrodite had
to come in to do damage control.
“It’s hard when my dreams are
filled with so much death and gloom.” Elle pulled out of Gwen’s embrace, stood,
and then paced the floor. “Part of me wants to open the floodgates and unlock
my powers. I mean, I can feel them getting stronger, but the headaches are
worse. What if unlocking them makes me insane or kills me?”
Gwen jumped to her feet and
gripped Elle’s shoulders. Elle stared into her eyes, shocked at the speed her
friend had moved. Power whirled around the room a moment before Gwen spoke.
“You will not die.”
Silence filled the air for
several long moments. Then Gwen frowned and released her. When she stepped
away, Elle reached for her, but Gwen held up a hand.
Crap. Gwen had used her powers to… to what? Make Elle immortal?
When Elle opened her mouth to ask what it all meant, a zing of power drifted
into the room, changing the pressure of the air slightly. Turning around, Elle
expected Aphrodite, but the goddess who materialized wasn’t her.
Black mist shifted into a tall,
beautiful goddess with hair the color of night and eyes that mirrored Elle’s.
Nyx wore a long, black gown that covered her feet and spilled out onto the
floor. Her black hair cascaded over her shoulders and hung down to her hips.
Elle stood, staring at her
mother. She had called to the goddess so many times in the last few months. And
Nyx picked this moment to show. Elle didn’t know whether to be mad or happy to
see her. There were so many lies and unanswered questions.
