Story
In Minatsol, being a dweller means that you are literally no better than dirt. In fact, dirt might actually be more useful than Willa. Her life will be one of servitude to the sols, the magic-blessed beings who could one day be chosen to become gods. At least her outer village is far removed from the cities of the sols, and she won't ever be forced to present herself to them... Until one small mistake changes everything, and Willa is awarded a position to serve at Blesswood, the top sol academy in the world - a position that she definitely did not earn.

It all started with a dare. A single dare on Maisey Parker's 21st birthday and her entire life changed. One second she was getting drunk with her friends, and the next she was climbing a cliff, cutting her hand, and accidentally offering a blood sacrifice that opened a thousand year old prison. Now they're in a race against the clock to resurrect the other Titans, the only beings who can contain the evil. They're the world's last hope. And Maisey's.

Story
As a wolf shifter growing up in a strong pack, I should be living my best life. But after my father tried to kill our leader, I’m labelled an outcast, traitor, less than dirt. When I can't take pack life any longer, I run, but apparently they don't like losing their punching bag. Torin, the leader’s son, drags me back before my first shift...a shift that will reveal my true mate. I never could have predicted who mine would be, but the moment my wolf looks upon him, I’m filled with hope for a brighter future.

Story
Maddison James is about to discover some truths about the world. Firstly...supernaturals exist. WTF? Secondly...she is one, even though no one seems to know exactly what kind. Double WTF. Thirdly...she’s about to go back to school. Well, things just got a little more interesting. The Supernatural Academy is where shifters, vampires, magic users, and fey are educated. Where they are taught about their abilities, and how to function in the human world. Maddison already has the human part down, but this supernatural thing is an entirely new dangerous game.

Story
When Emma moves to Astoria, Oregon, she is given two rules: #1 - don’t cross to “their” side of the street. #2 - don’t mess with the elites, especially Lexen Darken, top elite and resident bad boy. While she finds this both weird and insulting, Emma has no actual intention of breaking these rules - until her guardians go missing. Now all bets are off. Only a single line separates her side of the street from the elites', and she's crossing it.

Jessa Lebron doesn’t have a lot to complain about. Her father is the alpha of their wolf pack, she lives in Stratford - a protected supernatural prison town - and her best friends, the Compass quads, are the strongest dudes of the four races: shifter, vampire, fey, and magic user. Yep, life is pretty much exactly how she wants it. Until the fateful day, just after her 22nd birthday, when the mother who abandoned her returns to the pack, bearing secrets that change everything. The biggest secret of all: Jessa is dragon-marked, a designation that places her in grave danger.

As the daughter of Dracula, you would think I’d be born the perfect monster. You couldn’t be more wrong. As far as monsters go, I’m a screw up—if I’m not tripping over my own feet, I’m accidentally murdering someone (it’s a real issue, guys). Left with no choice, Dad decides to send me to Prodigium—otherwise known as Monster Academy—to train me on how to be a better monster. When bodies turn up on campus, I’m the prime suspect (not that I can blame them).

I run with my own pack - my four demon wolves and the two friends I would kill to protect. We might be the rejected shifters of the Vegas supernaturals, different and unwanted, but our pack is strong. Feared. Think of us as your local supernatural vigilantes. With my demon wolves secretly watching our backs, we’re unstoppable. Until the night the first rune appears on the streets. A rune that hasn’t been seen for hundreds of years, sending the Vegas supernaturals into a tailspin.

She is one of the Tainted: a mixed-breed creature with the blood of a monster, clinging to legitimacy by the genes of her human father.

They rule my new town, my school, and with more money than God, there’s very little out of their reach. Four gorgeous, perfect, scary boys. There used to be five, but one of them died, leaving a fifth position that I now fill. I didn't ask for this. I didn't want to be part of this billionaire-boys-club. But no one cares about what I want. Sebastian Beckett is the worst of them. Their leader. He draws me in, and strips me of every defense I have. He calls me Butterfly, but it's not a pet name, it's a threat.

I'm not so different from most people. Like everyone else, I have life goals. Goal #1: Become a real girl instead of this invisible ghost thing I currently am. Goal #2: Convince the four men I've been haunting for the past five years to pick me to be their new toy after goal one is complete. Goal #3: Figure out who/what I am and why I can't remember anything past the five years I've been haunting this quad. Goal #4: Eat popcorn. See? Perfectly normal. Sort of. Gotta start small, after all. It's not like anyone else is perfect either.

Publisher's summary
Willa Knight: Dead? Alive? Damned to a state of eternal bad luck? Willa and the Abcurse brothers are back, and more determined than ever to stick by each other. Unfortunately, Staviti has other plans, plans that threaten to change the natural order of the worlds—though nobody really understands why. His agenda may very well affect all beings on Minatsol, even those that thought themselves safe in Topia. Even Willa-invincible-Knight. Unsure with her new place in the worlds, Willa must follow the Abcurses to their new post: Champions Peak, a secluded mountain far from civilization, where the most powerful sols have been summoned to hone their abilities through direct contact with the gods. There is a chance that she might survive her time on the mountain, but it seems like staying alive amidst the powerful occupants of the Peak is the least of her concerns. Her real problem is staying on the mountain at all. This is a full novel, 90,000 words. Book 4 of 5 in the Curse of the Gods Series

Theron - Dark haired, duty bound and deceptively deadly. He's the leader of the Argonauts, an elite group of guardians that defends the immortal realm from threats of the Underworld. From the moment he walked into the club, Casey knew this guy was different. Men like that just didn't exist in real life - silky shoulder-length hair, chest impossibly broad, and a predatory manner that just screamed dark and dangerous. He was looking for something. Her. She was the one. She had the mark. Casey had to die so his kind could live, and it was Theron's duty to bring her in. But even as a 200-year-old descendent of Hercules, he wasn't strong enough to resist....

Book 4 doesn't disappoint!!
I have waited awhile before listening or reading the end of this series because I know how much it was going to kill me haha. I loved every second of this 4th installment of the Curse of the Gods series by Jaymin and Jane!
About the story:
- Loved how it progressed and how the guys are helping Willa control her powers (and the way her powers manifest and the hilarity it ensues sometimes is amazeballs haha)
- I got choked up at moments and I didn't think I would with this series (I think it was because of Willa's determination to save her mom and the secrets shown in the God banishment plane)
- I couldn't help snorting during a lot of the chapters, Jane and Jaymin are brilliantly with creating these amazing moments
- I love love love how close the guys are getting with Willa and Emmy and her closeness with The Neutral (already listening to her audiobook haha)
- holy moly that ending!! I also want to kill Willy/Willie from all vocabulary haha
Narration:
- Vanessa is incredibly talented and I can't get over how much she boosts this story (which is tough to make even better)
- the way I could tell when Willa and Emmy were talking (able to distinguish btw them) was fabulous and even with the 5 guys, you could narrow it down before they even gave context clues
- No on else could have done this series justice except Vanessa (she helps bring Willa and everyone to life, even Donald). Oh and Pika....there are no words 😂😂😂
- Definitely will continue to have her in my top 5 narrators, she is fantastic

I adore this one almost as much as I love lamps!
I had been away from this series for a bit listening to some other audiobooks and when I came back I swear my heart did a little flip! I had missed this gang! I don't want to give away story, but things are starting to make sense and you are getting more pieces to this puzzle of Willa. I anxiously await the next audiobook in this series. I fell more in love with the characters this go around and actually ended up adoring Cryrus.
I can not stress enough how much I adore Vanessa Moyen as the narrator this series. She has just the right touch to every character. I would actually hesitate to read any of the books because I would be bereft her spin on things. She does an excellent job!

Pretty good but...
I enjoyed the book, and there were some real lol moments, but I thought they should have developed this story line more and gave more depth to the relationship dymatics. I also thought it ended on a weird note.
I was looking forward to getting to know more about "Strength" , but it didn't really happen for me. More could have been done with his character.
It was an enjoyable book overall, I just expected more.
