A story about a kidnapped priestess, the lone wolf shifter who rescues her, and a god desperate to prove his sister wrong.336 AD. Constantine II rules the Roman Empire, and the Cult of One gains a foothold with the common people. A clash of belief systems is at hand.Fresh from her misadventures in the western isles, Athena’s fears for the fate of her godly family fall upon deaf ears–particularly … family fall upon deaf ears–particularly with carefree Apollo. As she ignores her father’s orders to stay within the empire and heads north for Asgard, Apollo, god of music, medicine, archery, and plague, immerses himself among the people to prove her concerns baseless.
Two years earlier, Lor, a devout priestess of Apollo, was kidnapped and sold illegally into slavery. Seven hundred and thirty long days of suffering at the hands of monsters haunts her, and she now fears her newest master plans to sell her to the highest, foulest bidder. Her heart burns with defiance, but surrounded by her master’s soldiers, she has little hope of escaping her fate…
Until a figure emerges from the shadows. Handsome, rugged barbarian one moment, a great black wolf the next, this mysterious stranger whisks her away from her captors–but has Lor traded one cage for another? Little does she know, there is more to this wolf shifter than meets the eye.
Apollo’s Priestess is the second novella in the Lovers and Liars: Immortal Wars series. While there is an overarching plot to the series about the old world gods going to war with one another, it can be read as a standalone paranormal romance. The novella centers around a former priestess and a wolf shifter. Contains a slow burn romance, graphic violence, and sexual content. Also includes a HEA and no cliffhanger for the love interests.

It’s been a while since I’ve read anything by Liz Meldon (or any of her pen names), so I really enjoyed being back with her voice. Her books still are like cake to me, so it seemed only right that I started this on my birthday! 😀
I don’t love this series as much as her other books, but it was still well written with interesting characters – and it’s pretty easy to get my attention with Greek mythology. It’s not as steamy as most of her other books, but given Lor’s background that makes sense. It also felt a bit slow to me – I would have liked more action – but since that served to deepen the relationship between the two main characters, I can’t complain. So, it’s a slower read, but also a more relaxed one.
It was nice to be back with Meldon’s writing, and I’m excited now to see what else she’s done since I last read her books. I started with this one because I’ve had it on my kindle for a while, but I’ve already bought some of her newer ones to read this year.
Second book in the immortal wars series that tells story of a priestess and her fated mate who is a wolf shifter. This is a bit of everything…fantasy, mythology from around the world and paranormal romance all rolled into one. The first in the series ended in a little bit of cliffhanger, but this story can be read by itself. Very enjoyed reading this book until the end.
Great book about the Gods and their relationships with the people who worshiped them. I enjoyed reading this book. I liked how it showed how the Greek Gods could be self involved at times, ignoring their human followers, and how the humans can lose faith in those Gods. I can not wait to read the next book in this series.
AN EYE OPENING EXPERIENCE!!!
This read us going to realky thriw you for a loop. I experienced anger, revulsion, and down right hatred at some of the things that the main female character went through. A build up of the way the story unfolds and you find yourself really falling in love with the two main characters and wanting to slap the gods. You’ll experience a host of emotions, including but not all, hate, disgust, rage, fury, sorrow, hope and a slowly growing love, trust and understanding. Liz really excells at bringing this read to life. I would recommend reading this is you love mythology and shifter romance.
Another fast-paced tale in the Immortal Wars series. This one focuses on Apollo as well as a romance for his priestess, Lor, and the wolf-shifter who loves her, Adrian. Lor has suffered horrible atrocities as a slave and even though Adrian knows she is his destined mate, he must be patient with her if he’s ever to earn her trust. While Apollo learns that Athena may know more than he thought, Lor and Adrian get to know each other in this second book in the series. The story is a violent one, but it is also a tale of love and hope, and I can’t wait to see what’s next in this entertaining and gripping series.
