Trickery (Curse of the Gods Book 1)
Willa Knight: Dweller. Slave. Non-magical being.
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.
Under the sudden, watchful eye of the gods, she will be tasked to serve the Abcurse brothers, five sols built of arrogance, perfection and power. They are almost gods themselves, and under their service she is either going to end up sentenced to death, or else they are going to ruin her so badly that she will wish for it.
Either way, she is in trouble.
This is a full novel, 90,000 words. Book 1 of 5 in the Curse of the Gods Series

Set in a world where everyone's role is set at birth; God, Sol, Dweller; Willa is an original. She may be classified as the lowest of dwellers, but they can't contain her. She's a pure mess, stumbling through life, wreaking havoc during every waking hour. The book begins with her village preparing to select two of their best to represent the village at Blesswood Academy where dwellers are sent annually to serve the Sol.

Set in a world where everyone's role is set at birth; God, Sol, Dweller; Willa is an original. She may be classified as the lowest of dwellers, but they can't contain her. She's a pure mess, stumbling through life, wreaking havoc during every waking hour. The book begins with her village preparing to select two of their best to represent the village at Blesswood Academy where dwellers are sent annually to serve the Sol. Willa and her best friend/sister are chosen and their lives are now on a new course. Of course, Willa's life doesn't magically change. She's still a mess, only now she's around powerful people. She quickly catches the attention of the Abcurse brothers, Siret, Yael, Aros, Rome, and Coen or Trickery, Persuasion, Seduction, Strength, and Pain. The brothers have secrets of their own, but quickly they become the most important people in the world to Willa.
Jane is one of my favorite writers in the world. I'm openly obsessed with her books. She creates fantastic worlds and compelling stories filled with exceptional, stalk-worthy characters. I'm now embarrassed to say that this is the first book I have read of Jaymin's, although that will change. I wasn't sure how the collaboration would work, but the writing was seamless. These two meshed their styles together cleverly. I couldn't tell who wrote what. They did an excellent job creating fully developed characters. Each brother has a distinct way with Willa and with each other. Great dynamics. The side characters are all nicely developed and add additional layers.
This story was entertaining, well-written, laugh out loud funny, and full of sexual tension. Any book with a lead female who has a "penchant for nudity", falls on her ass or face as many times as Willa does, and carries on hysterical conversations in her head constantly even though her thoughts can be read is truly brilliant! Willa's rambling, her thought process (the Jeffrey's), and overall originality makes her one of the best female leads ever. Throw in 5 hot brothers to surround her and a bit of mystery, and now I have a new obsession. J & J, how soon can I get the next book??

My enjoyment of this RH is easily a 5 stars—but the initial first 50 pages or so knock back a star. I considered not reading this series because the introduction was so off-putting. (Glad I did; it's now one of my top favorite series.)
Not sure if it was the weird pacing, contradictory sentences (ex. repeating how independent she is but then saying how she hates to be alone), or the fact the author uses different terms for things that don't need a different term (i.e. "sun-cycle" for "day,...
My enjoyment of this RH is easily a 5 stars—but the initial first 50 pages or so knock back a star. I considered not reading this series because the introduction was so off-putting. (Glad I did; it's now one of my top favorite series.)
Not sure if it was the weird pacing, contradictory sentences (ex. repeating how independent she is but then saying how she hates to be alone), or the fact the author uses different terms for things that don't need a different term (i.e. "sun-cycle" for "day," "swimmers" for "fish," and my least favorite: "click" for "minute." There were literal instances where "click" was used in place of "second," like if it would take five clicks to stand on her own feet again—does that mean it took five *minutes* to find her balance? Dumb.). The first part of the book is just hard to get into.
BUT, once you find the rhythm, there is a PHENOMENAL story and extremely interesting characters and lore to be found in this book! The author didn't go too far in the bully romance aspect, and although some topics are really, really weird, they don't usually stray into perverted or twisted.
Many reviewers had a hard time with the main character's clumsiness. As a stupidly clumsy person myself, I got a kick out of it.
This books is cliche, ridiculous, and so very fun. I read the first two books in a single day, and I can't wait to see where it goes next.
