More modern day meets hot & spicy Greek myths. Fav quotes to convince you to read my personal fav of the Underworld series, Charon:

“Circe, the sorceress of fame and legend… She was so powerful that she had to be locked up where she couldn’t stir up a rebellion if she got bored. Just another fine example of Zeus being an insecure prick.”

“The more ichor she wiped off, the more tattoos appeared bright, beautiful and strange”

“Oh, that’s different,” she whispered when she discovered small silver bars through both of his nipples. “You keep playing with those, doll, and I’m going to start charging you for the privilege”

“The unloved one. That was Circe. Unloved and unwanted by her nymph mother, her powerful titan father Helios, and every other creature she came across. All except Hecate.”

“Trusting males was now she got into nearly every mess of her life”

“Circe has her father’s golden hair and amber brown eyes that were sharp enough to leave him feeling cut to pieces every time she fixed her gaze on him”

“You’re kind of amazing. You know that right?” “Yes, I know,” Circe replied with no ego whatsoever

“Fast cars, tattoos, clothes, and books. Those were the things that kept him sane and made life worth living.”

“Circe was glowing with power and rage. She was terrifyingly beautiful, and Charon’s mouth kicked up into an involuntary grin. “Gods, she’s magnificent.”

“He didn’t stop to consider that putting a pissed off sorceress into his favorite car would be a bad idea until it was too late. His smile widened. What was life without a bit of risk?”

“I told you, cocktails and gelato, they are always the solution to a shittt day”

Circe: “Have you ever been in love?”
Charon: “Only with myself and you know, sometimes that’s the hardest relationship you’ll ever have. You will always be shit at loving someone else if you can’t love yourself.”

“One thing I’ve learned is that most of the time, the person you tried to love didn’t deserve it or didn’t know how to receive it”

“She doesn’t need you to be a white knight.” He had always been more of a brass knuckles thug than white knight material anyway.

Charon: “You’re in control”
Circe: “Just the way I like it”
Charon was suddenly sitting in the middle of the back seat, seat belts on either side of him wrapping around his wrists and tying him down.
Charon: “Holy shit”
Circe: “Last chance to back out, titan”
Charon: “No way in all the hells”

Selene: “you are finally being summoned to the house of Hades for an audience with the Dark Lord”

“Charon relaxed easily in her presence, just like he always did. It was like he could breathe for the first time in days.”

“He was spice, masculine heat, and just a little engine grease”

“The fact that you are over-analyzing why you deserve attention tells me how useless your past partners were. It’s an honor to have you in my bed, and I’m going to make sure you know it and don’t ever regret it.”

“I don’t know who made you believe that you are unlovable, but I’m telling you right now, I’m going to do everything in my power to convince you of the opposite.”

“His fierce legendary sorceress. Circe was a living story he would never tire of reading and would eagerly learn and love every mysterious and magical line of her.” ( )
