Blog Tour: House of Heathens: A Complete Trilogy by Alta Hensley

I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie’s Book Reports.

This is the complete Gods Among Men series all in one book. You get to read all three stories right in one place. I loved every single story in this book. The first is Villains Are Made.
This is the story of Apollo and Daphne. She married into the Godwin family and when you marry a Godwin you can never divorce him. The Godwins own Heatherns Hollow and all the people that live there live on Godwin land. Daphne and her sister were no different. Maybe though they are from the wrong side of the island but now she is married to the Godwin family and has more than she could ever have imagine…well material things but not so much the love of her family. Yes I said married to Godwin family and when you read this book you will see what I mean. Now that she feels like she is in a loveless marriage she wants out and finally works up the nerve to go to his sister she gets the same answer she gets from the entire family. They are both miserable and there are things going on in the Godwin family that will affect them all. Ares, Apollo’s twin is about to go to prison for a crime he didn’t commit. Apollo just can’t let that happen but Ares is more than willing to bare his punishment. After all his brother has a wife and is the brains as far as numbers go for the Godwin family. Ares is the one they call when they need enemies taken care of. However no one ever saw a terrible accident coming that has left one twin dead and Daphne’s entire world is about to tilt on its axis. I can’t really tell you anything that happens after the accident because you need it to unfold without knowing a thing just like I did. With that said I loved watching everything unfold. I loved getting to know these characters and the story that they have to tell had me so hooked that I never put the book down. I had to know what was going to happen. We also met Daphne’s sister and found out that the fourth Godwin child hides out and none of them see him until he feels like showing his face and that is very rare.

The second is Monster’s Are HiddenThis is the story and Ani and Phoenix. He is the recluse of the Godwin family staying in their manor in the attic where he is really hidden away. He is comfortable there and I’m not quiet sure that after finishing this book I totally understood why. However I understood most of why he hides himself away from the world. But he is in charge of Godwin security and is always watching the monitors for the business and keeping everyone safe and all of the family secrets. But right now he is stuck on the view of the girl recovering from injuries in their guest room. He can’t take his eyes off him and it isn’t really long until she becomes an obsession of sorts for him. Though I certainly wouldn’t call him a stalker. Ani is Daphne’s sister from the first book in this series, Villains are Made. This woman has really been trough it and since her sister and her husband just left her at the Manor to recovery she is starting to think she has moped around laying in bed all the time really long enough. However she keeps hearing things and one night decides to go and see what is in the attic. She never expects to meet Pheonix and she knows who he is immediately because she has been reading his mother’s journals that she found hidden in the room she is staying in. They have a connection from the beginning and I figured a budding romance. However he doesn’t like liars and she knows this and lies to him about a secret that really isn’t hers to tell. This is the beginning of their real journey I feel like. And I don’t feel like I can really tell you about it since you need to experience it for yourself. I really loved Ani and the things she brought out in Phoenix were just amazing to witness. But beware he will make you mad. Break your heart and I still want to know what made him totally the way he is. And the ending.

And finally we have Vipers Are Forbidden.Get ready to go on one heck of an adventure with Athena. She might just be twenty two but don’t her age fool you into thinking she is some spoiled little girl trying to be a woman. She is actually pretty bad to the bone. She has knowledge that her mother has died two months earlier and not the seven years that Athena thought she had been dead. Her father has always told her that this was a fact and he has also kept information about her being in her mom’s will. Never did she imagine that she would meet her mother’s adopted sons at the reading of the will. Perseus, Paris, Heph, and Eros. There are things in the will that make all of them have to deal with each other This is actually the story of a journey that her mother has put her on the path of. Things could go several ways several times in this book and you will have to read to find out what I mean. I will say that I loved the characters and the way this book is written. I thought that they were underneath it all great characters. The story will keep you on your toes and leave you with a smile on your face when you finish.
You do not want to miss this book. It is one that I really loved reading. Now run grab it and enjoy all these amazing stories.
