Zeus

Contemporary Mythos, Book 6

By: Carly Spade

Narrated by: Stella Bloom, Thomas Locklear

A god-king disguised as a criminal defense lawyer...

Zeus/Zane, king of the Greek gods, holds the world in his palm in both his mortal and godly form...until Hera leaves him, forcing him to uphold Gaea's clause: There must always be a queen, or he loses his title and part of his power along with it. Time is short. Too bad the one woman he has his sights on wants nothing to do with him. Or does she?

An empath criminal prosecutor...

There's nothing Keira Bazin dislikes more than defense lawyers. So when she discovers Zane Vronti, one of New York's finest, has been brought in on her newest murder case, it's anything but good news. Tensions flare as the two immediately butt heads, but there's something about Zane she can't put her finger on. His emotions are the strongest she's ever felt—borderline overwhelming. Power. Lust. Command. Can she fight her growing attraction for him? Does she want to?

This is the last book in the Contemporary Mythos series. Though all can be listened to as a stand-alone, there are Easter eggs for those who listened in order as books intersect.

Amazing Story and Wonderful Characters!!

This was a fun story to end this part of the series!
This is probably one of the steamiest of the series and Keira and Zeus make the most of it with their practically palpable chemistry!
I loved getting to know Keira and Zeus. Keira is an interesting character with her empathic abilities and is a kickbutt prosecutor. Zeus is also interesting because in the previous books he's...well...he's Zeus, but in this story he gets to be so much more! Keira and Zeus were perfect together, no one character kept having the higher ground because each gave as good as they got and it was so entertaining!
I really enjoyed getting to know all the characters the author has created with this series and I hope she continues on with the world she has created for them because there are so many more characters whose stories I hope get told!!

While technically it could be read as a standalone, read the rest of the series first. There are minor spoilers in this book from the other books in the series and reading them first really gives a good look at Zeus and some of his characterization. So just read/listen to them first, so that this book can have maximum enjoyment.

The dual narrator was perfect! The male did all the male voices, even during the female narrator's POV and vice versa. They each did a fantastic job with getting into character and giving them feeling and emotions. I listened at the normal 1x speed because that was good pacing for me for the story.

Zeus aka Big Daddy Z!

Zeus is the love story about the Greek God King and a Demi Goddess living at in modern times and portrayed as an high powered legal couple. I freaking love this book. The storyline is well conceived. It has the right amount of steam and comedy. Had me laughing out loud throughout the entire book. (Warning be mindful of eating or drinking while listening to this book 🤣) Carly did an excellent job in portraying Zeus the playboy god king as an arrogant defense lawyer and Kiera as a strong confident and equally prominent prosecuting lawyer. They dance around each other in and out of the court room and
when the two come together the sparks literally fly and the battle of wits begin. I freaking love this book!! This is the epitome of romcom! Please please continue this series.

Note worthy scenes birthday in Rockefeller Center, meeting with YaYa (grandma Gaia) #love Levin/Lightning#

Also please see my review on Poseidon the 5th book in this series and equally as good!

Zeus

This series is so good the storyline is easy to follow and the characters are lovable. I enjoyed Zeus story it is action packed and full of adventure. The ending was great and the narration was good. Starting the next one.

Zeus

Zeus, king of the gods, is known as Zane, criminal defense attorney. When he must find a new wife, or lose everything, he zeros in on Kiera. There’s more to Kiera than just someone to fulfill a role. I thoroughly enjoyed the ride as this story unfolded.

Carly Spade has once again done a marvelous job of bringing mythos to a contemporary time. I’ve enjoyed all the books in this series, but I think this might be my favorite.

Stella Bloom and Thomas Locklear really brought Kiera and Zane to life. I enjoyed both of their performances.

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and I have voluntarily left this review.
