Blog Tour + Review + #Giveaway: Hunt of the Gods by Amy Braun @amybraunauthor @XpressoTours


Hunt of the Gods
Amy Braun
(Areios Brothers #2)
Publication date: June 4th 2019
Genres: Adult, Urban Fantasy

Two months have passed since Derek Areios—war-scion and heir of Ares—and the band of rogue scions he’s aligned with recovered both the Thunderbolt of Zeus and the Heart of the Devourer and returned them to the Gods. During the battle, Derek discovered he could control not only the element of fire, as all war-scions can, but also the dark element “aether,” making him the only scion alive to wield two types of elemental magic.

Commanded by Zeus to retrieve the Trinity Weapons and the Shards of Cronus, Derek and the rogue scions are thwarted in their goal by a gang of water-scions with a grudge against one of the rogues—Thea, heir of Poseidon. Both groups travel to an uninhabited island to recover one of the Shards––the Eye that belonged to Cronus, King of the Titans. But what they encounter will lead them down a path of brutal betrayals, hard truths, painful memories, and desperate actions.

With angry and impatient gods breathing down his neck, a curse that allows Ares to control him, a prophecy he’s desperate to avoid, a magic spear corrupting his thoughts, and two forms of elemental magic, Derek has a lot of baggage—and a lot of power. Will the price of using that power to satisfy the Gods be too much for him to pay?

Mythological monsters, explosive magic, and devastating truths take center stage in the second novel of the action-packed AREIOS BROTHERS series from Amy Braun.



My Review Hunt of the Gods (Areios Brothers #2):

Derek and his little band of scions are commanded by Zeus to bring him the Trinity Weapons and the Shards of Cronus. It is believed that that one of shards the Eye of Cronus is located on the Santa Rosa Island. Selena believes that she can find the shard with her visions once they reach the island. Easy-peasy right, Derek is like no way will it be easy as the gods do like a good fight.

Everyone soon learns that Derek is right in assuming that their task was not going to be easy when they are on the island and meet up with other bad scions, monsters, water sirens, sea monsters among other creatures and having to fight their way through each and every one of them to reach the Eye of Cronus.

Derek has a rage inside of him that if it is let loose could cost him more than he is willing to pay. For the most part he is able to control this rage until one of the people he loves is put in danger and then this rage is unleashed. Derek is afraid of this rage inside of him as he may not be able to control it and cost him the life of someone he cares for deeply.

Hunt of the Gods is filled with lots and lots of action from the first page that kept me glued to my seat watching and waiting for each and every battle wondering what amazing creature was going to enter the picture next and who our little band of scions were going to have to face next and who would come out on top.

The story of the Areios Brothers just gets better and better with each journey and I can’t wait to see where they take us next and what sort of monsters they will be up against. The more I read of the Areios Brothers the more I fall in love with all of the characters the good and the bad as each characters plays their part very well and is very good at what they do. I love the hunt that our little band of scions takes us on.


I highly recommend Hunt of the Gods to all fans of fantasy, magic, Gods and Goddess and anyone who loves a good fight or battle. 




Storm of the Gods (Areios Brothers #1): 


My Review of Storm of the Gods (Areios Brothers #1): 

Derek Aerios a descendant of Ares the God of War is a war scion. Ares gives Derek orders to hunt four scions that are under Athena's command he refuses until he threatens his little brother Liam’s life. Derek made himself two promises: one of those promises is to protect his little brother and the other one is to never kill a human again. With Ares’s threat against his brother Derek has no choice but to hunt down the scion and do as he ask.

Storm of the Gods is packed with action with never a dull moment. The Areios brothers are always getting into a fight with someone. There are monsters and scion everywhere especially if you are hunting them who are very willing to help out in the fighting department. The brothers can get into some pretty awesome and gruesome fights that will have the adrenaline pumping.

There were a few times where I was getting real worried about Derek and Liam not knowing if they were going to come out on top or if they were going to be the one that got the old blade plunged into their hearts. The Gods always seem to be fighting or looking for a fight but they are scions of Ares the God of War. There was one battle after another with scions, monsters, giant spiders and even Hades made an appearance. Great fight scenes I can’t wait for more of these brothers and so can’t wait to dive into the next book Hunt of the Gods. Bring on the Gods and Goddess.

I recommend Storm of the Gods to all fans of fantasy, mythology, Greek mythology, magic, gods, and goddess with a whole of action with plenty of fighting.
