Bellona was born from the lamenting of women, in fields of the slain, and the triumphant cries of victors. And she had been hearing them screaming ever since.

Did I binge read this in one sitting while babysitting? Yes. And Alessa Thorn did not disappoint with Bellona’s story.

I adore the Gods that Alessa write about and Belzona is no different. Not only are they amazing retellings but the spice is off the charts. This is the perfect mix of 🌶️, 🗡️ and danger around. Bellona is a War Goddess who fell for a mortal 20 years ago when she saved him. Rafael is that mortal that has never been able to get that avenging angel out of his head. Now that that’s a bounty on his head, he needs her and she won’t let anyone touch him, especially the crazy mafia queen who just wants to marry him for his position and power. Buckle up and get ready for visits from our favorite other main characters from past books. This one is a must read for any mythology lover or lover of anything Alessa writes!

Maybe not my favorite one, but I loved it nonetheless! As an Italian, living in Rome, the references were so accurate! I loved seeing my city from the characters' eyes and I can't wait to read the next book about the protectors of my city!
