when gods manipulate humans - Godhunter (The Godhunter #1) by Amy Sumida

"This story is about love. [...] The raw kind. It is about caring so much about something that everything becomes black and white. It is about discovery of self and a little bit about growing up.I highly recommend this story." - Twist, Goodreads


Description:

From witch to Godhunter.

Sometimes a single fact can change a life completely.

For Vervain Lavine, that change came when she learned the truth about the gods: who they really are, where they came from, and what they want from us. To survive, she learned how to track the gods and, even more importantly, kill them. But now the Godhunter is faced with yet another life-altering fact: a god who's on her side.

This is a slow building Reverse Harem (RH) series–multiple men with one woman. It becomes RH in book four.

Godhunter won Best Paranormal Romance 2014 from BookHippo.com

Goodreads Description:
There are some things that really annoy Vervain Lavine. Like when people call her Vivian; “Vervain's an herb, look it up.” Or when people don't get her movie quotes; “Why doesn't anyone appreciate culture anymore?” But what really bothers her, what gets her little witchy panties in a twist, is when gods manipulate humans. “They're not even really gods, just Atlanteans playing dress up!”

Yeah, that's right, the gods are Atlanteans. Basically a bunch of refugees who decided to take over. It was a sweet deal for them, at least back when we believed in them and all. Not so much anymore. Nowadays, there ain't too many folks lining up at the altars to give their offerings, and gods are suffering for it. Without our sacrifices, the gods don't have enough juice to keep living in the manner to which they've grown accustomed.

So they came up with a plan. It was so easy actually. All they had to do was get us to fight amongst ourselves, go to war. When our kind die, they suck up the energy like a temperature-resistant fat man drinking a milkshake line-up. Not such a bad idea, and it's worked for quite awhile. Up until Vervain found out.

Now, don't get the wrong idea. Vervain's no Laura Croft. She can't bench press 200 lbs or shoot laser beams out of her eyes either. She does have magic on her side though and a few little tricks up her sleeve, or up her gloves rather. So she's not completely defenseless and she'll do whatever she has to in order to end this threat of divine proportions. Even if it means assassinating one god at a time.
Her greatest annoyance is yet to come though, in the form of a gorgeous Viking God who swears he's on her side. If she can keep her eyes off his leather pants long enough, they might even stand half a chance.

I think this book series sounds quite interesting! My favorite book cover in this series is a tie between book one, "Godhunter," and book ten, "Into the Void." Looking forward to checking out these books!
