New Review! Storm of the Gods (Areios Brothers #1) by A.R Braun 5 Cranky Stars

Storm of the Gods by A.R. Braun
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

5 Cranky Stars


I’m giving this story 5 stars because it was well written. My only problem was correlating the Greek Olympians with modern days. I kept getting distracted and losing my concentration. One must picture Ares, Zeus, Athena, etc. in business suits driving cars and carrying cell phones. A bit of a stretch for me.


Anyway, the story revolves around two brothers who are descended from Ares. As such they are soldiers in his army. It seems that the Greek Gods were asleep for hundreds of years after defeating the Titans. When they awoke, they were shocked at how the humans had progressed. The humans thought of them as myths and legends. War ensued and the Gods were forced to withdraw to California where they divided the state into individual kingdoms. Travel between the kingdoms was highly regulated and each God had their own set of rules.


Derek and Liam worked for Aries. Derek had to kill his father to save Liam’s life. In fact, he had raised Liam and protected him since he was a young baby. Derek’s magic was extremely strong and getting stronger all the time. When the brothers discover a rogue group trying to find the weapons and tools needed to free the Titans, Ares enlists them in the fight to stop this group.


Unfortunately, things aren’t always what they seem. There are two rogue groups. One group is led by Gage and his search is for himself. The other group is working for Athena. Lots of thrills and mystery surround their adventures. Magic and curses abound. Interesting take on Greek Mythology.
