Immortal Stream: Children of the Gods Series by Crea Reitan

“My name is Lena. I’m not a God. I’m not even a hero. But this is my adventure: Through the Valley of the Kings to retrieve Pandora’s Box - stolen by the Seven Deadly Sins. Into the Evenfall Mansion to wage battle against a Fire Elemental. To the Akropolis to burn the awoken Nightmares. Through the Underworld to retrieve my soul from the rings of Chaos.

But this is my adventure: Through the Valley of the Kings to retrieve Pandora’s Box - stolen by the Seven Deadly Sins. Into the Evenfall Mansion to wage battle against a Fire Elemental. To the Akropolis to burn the awoken Nightmares. Through the Underworld to retrieve my soul from the rings of Chaos. Into Mount Olympus to face the big 12.“At least I have the help of my friends who are gods.”This isn’t your typical story about Greek gods. If you’re expecting to read about how a girl was fated for a god who will now love only her for the rest of eternity, or perhaps a goddess who had been waiting hundreds of years just to fall in love with that single boy and now her life is complete… well, this is not that story.These gods are beautiful and they know it. They’re promiscuous and find no reason to hide it. They stay angry for hundreds of years, plotting their petty revenge for even the most insignificant of slights. If you’re a means to an end, they have no qualms about manipulating you to obtain the outcome they desire. That includes your death. Humans, as fun as they are for the gods, are disposable since their life only registers with a god for less than a heartbeat in their eternity.Join Lena as she navigates her way through the world of the gods with all their beautiful temptation and frightening adversaries. She adventures through the deadly and enchanted. By her side, and sometimes in her bed, are her friends, an array of terrifying, gorgeous beings. And, increasingly, as she journeys through each book, her eyes are opened a little more to the truth of what the gods are: savage, unforgiving, fickle, and ridiculously promiscuous.Except that, in the end, gods don’t actually have friends. They don’t trust each other or any other soul. So who Lena can trust in a world that has turned her life upside down is never really clear.This is a full-length, 110,000 word, mature high school/new adult paranormal romance/urban fantasy (and a budding reverse harem) with the introduction of a variety of many different sexual orientations and situations that will be further expanded upon and explored in later books. This book contains plenty of WTF moments, friendship, sins, battles with swords and fire, traversing through hell, magic, gods, and a smidgen of MM. There is alluded to not fully consensual sex that the reader might not pick up on until book 2. This is book 1 in a (currently) 6 book series. The first three books are partially an origin story for the FMC. You may not see the harem for several books, but do not fret! It’s definitely coming. There will not always be a happy ending for many characters. Can be read as a stand alone and does not end with a cliffhanger but does leave unresolved plot points that will be picked up in future books. less

Lena’s made it through her first year with the Olympians. No really, she’s lived for an entire year! This is no small feat considering their short temper, reaction first and be-damned with consequences attitude, and instantaneous fiery jealousy. It’s summertime and the godlings take their mortals to their islands within the Bermuda Triangle: Endless white sandy beaches, perfect weather, and a villa that is in no small way a massive resort. Of course, that’s not all they find... moreLena’s made it through her first year with the Olympians. No really, she’s lived for an entire year!

It’s summertime and the godlings take their mortals to their islands within the Bermuda Triangle: Endless white sandy beaches, perfect weather, and a villa that is in no small way a massive resort. Of course, that’s not all they find. Archangels visit, there’s a cotillion scheduled, and wonderful new friends to be made from dozens of different pantheons. It’s all bliss and fun in the sun.That is, until the attacks start. And once again, Lena seems to be the target. If that wasn’t enough, their in-house medically inclined god is positive Lena’s died like three times now. Yet, she lives and heals nearly as quickly as a god. As they struggle to figure out what Lena is, their attackers are eating through every kind of weapon-proof armor Ares gives her. They’re switching armor so those that are labeled as a mortal is in fact a god. AND, they’re reproducing Zeus’s lightning bolt as weapons, able to be wielded by mere mortals. When a thing from Hell tries to kill Lena, they are sure Lucifer is behind it.**This is a full-length, mature high school/new adult paranormal romance (and a budding reverse harem) with development of a variety of different sexual orientations and situations that will be further expanded on and explored as the series unfolds.

So what has freed them, you ask? The necromancer from a few years ago had disturbed their tomb while he called on the long dead in a misguided effort to get his girlfriend back, allowing the idols to work themselves free.
