THEY CAME TO TAKE HER BROTHER... INSTEAD THEY MET HER SCYTHE
Every year the gods demand boys for the mines. When Leina slaughters the soldiers who come for her brother, she expects death.
Instead, she's claimed by a goddess and thrown into a world of winged warhorses, warring gods, cursed monsters - and Ryot, the god-sworn warrior ordered to keep her in line.
Bound by duty, shaped by discipline, Ryot is everything she's not. But he sees the fire in her. The power. The danger.
Leina never asked to be chosen. And she's certainly not interested in saving the kingdom that enslaved her people.
But destiny has other plans... and the gods should fear what they've awakened.

I do plan to continue with this series.
audio: female narrator was a bit overly dramatic in places for my taste. and male narrator had very little variation to his voice that one conversation between 2 male characters sounded like the bloke was just talking to himself, I couldn't differentiate.
solid romantasy

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“They took everything from me. But the goddess left me with fire.”
I thought I knew this story. I thought I had already felt its teeth sink in, its fire take hold. But the audiobook of Kissed by the Gods doesn’t just retell Caty Rogan's beautiful story—it transfigures it. What was already ferocious and lyrical on the page becomes something sharper, deeper, more devastatingly alive when spoken aloud.
Zara Hampton-Brown becomes Leina. Every edge of her is honed—the fury, the defiance, the fracture lines beneath it all. She is fiercer here, yes, but also more fragile in the quiet moments, that vulnerability threading through the steel. You don’t just witness her transformation—you hear it, feel it tightening in your chest, breath by breath.
And Ryot… gods. I was not prepared. Benjamin O’Mahony doesn’t simply narrate him—he inhabits him. That low, dangerous warmth, the smirk you can practically hear, the restraint stretched razor-thin. I thought I had already claimed him as a top-tier book boyfriend, but SWEET SERAPHELLE—this version of Ryot is something else entirely. Intimate. Consuming. Ruinous in the best way.
The slow-burn romance? Even more exquisite in audio. Every pause, every shift in tone, every almost-confession laced with tension—it simmers. The restraint feels heavier. The want, sharper. Battle may take centre stage, but the heat coils tighter because of it.
And the world—already rich—becomes breathtakingly immersive. The faravars glide through the soundscape with an almost ghostly majesty, their beauty made more ethereal, more dangerous. The gods feel closer. The stakes, higher. Even the minor characters are given such distinct, careful voice that the entire cast feels vivid and fully realised.
This isn’t just narration—it’s elevation. Every emotion is tightened, every moment given weight, every heartbeat amplified.
Verdict: A brutal, beautiful fantasy reborn in sound—more intimate, more immersive, and utterly intoxicating. If the book was fire, the audiobook is an inferno. Absolutely unmissable.
A brutal, beautiful fantasy reborn in sound. Absolutely unmissable.

Kissed by the Gods by Caty Rogan completely exceeded every expectation I had. This is one of those rare books that grabs you from the very first page and refuses to let go. The blend of mythology, romance, suspense, and emotion is beautifully balanced, creating a story that feels both epic and deeply personal.
The world-building is immersive without ever feeling overwhelming, and the mythology is woven into the story in such a fresh, compelling way. Every chapter left me wanting more, and I found myself constantly thinking about the characters even when I wasn't reading.
The characters are unforgettable. Their growth, relationships, and emotional journeys felt genuine, and I became completely invested in their story. The romance is filled with chemistry, heart, and just the right amount of tension, making every interaction meaningful.
Rogan's writing is absolutely stunning—beautifully descriptive, emotionally rich, and impossible to put down. There were moments that made me smile, moments that broke my heart, and moments that left me completely speechless.
This is more than just a fantasy romance—it's an unforgettable journey filled with magic, emotion, and unforgettable characters. If I could give this book more than five stars, I absolutely would. It's a six-star read in every sense of the word and one I'll be recommending to everyone.
