Wilder Pratt has given up trying to get his life together. Passed up for a promotion, left by his long-term boyfriend, nothing in his life seems to work how he planned. Wilder is just treading water...right up until the moment he trips over a dead student outside his office with a golden would-be murderer standing over the body.
Hermes has been running his whole life—from duty and danger, from a father who mistrusts him and siblings who outshine him. But when the students at Banneker College of magic start dropping dead one after another, Hermes's ass is on the line. He finds himself playing bodyguard to a man who suspects him of murder, but that doesn't seem enough to keep Professor Pratt's hot hands off him.
An ancient evil has risen from the depths of Tartarus, and it's coming for Banneker. The only thing standing in the way of a titanic apocalypse is one disappointing part-time professor and a god who'd rather abandon the world to its fate. But if they work together, they may just save everyone.
Wildfire
Wilder Pratt, the main character in Wildfire, feels like someone you could meet in real life, struggling to catch a break. His life takes a wild turn when he literally stumbles into some serious chaos at his college. The mix of humor and drama kept me engaged, and Wilder's journey was relatable. I couldn't help but root for him as he tried to navigate his messy life and find his purpose.
Then you have Hermes, who adds another layer to this story. He's got his own set of problems and so much family baggage. So much! Their chemistry is on the page right from the start, and watching their relationship unfold was fun. The banter between them feels natural as they grow closer amidst the turmoil.
The plot kept me on my toes with the suspenseful twist of an ancient evil threatening everything. The blend of magic and real-world issues gives the story a unique vibe. A re-readable mix of romance, humor, and a dash of mythology that makes for an enjoyable time. Definitely worth checking out.
