I've finished "Red Mortal" the 5th and last book in her Gods of Midnight series by Deidre Knight.
Product Description
Leonidas has long led his fellow immortal warriors in battle with quiet, unyielding strength. But when Daphne, Oracle of Delphi, confesses to having loved him from afar, Leo finds his stoic shell breaking away. Just as their love ignites, Daphne's half-brother Ares strips Leonidas of his immortality. Now, it's just a matter of time before Leonidas is taken from her-unless they can find a way to challenge Ares together.

My Review:
Before he became an Immortal Warrior, King Leonides led the 300 Spartans in combat twenty-five centuries ago at Thermopylae. When he and six of his comrades died, they drank the water of Styx and made the vow that made them immortal but beholding to Ares the God of War. Now Leonides and the God of War's half-sister Daphne the Oracle of Delphi admit their love for one another, Ares punishes the Immortal Warrior by turning him into a mortal with an accelerating aging towards death.
Demon Centaur Sable has been heading towards the light ever since he helped the warriors, but feels very conflicted as he loves Sophie Lowery the seer (but won't admit it). Ares offers him a deal to fulfill his desires, but when he accepts will betray his brothers in arms and Sophie.
I've been waiting to read King Leonides and Daphne's book since the first book in the series and it sure doesn't disappoint! It had alot of romance, was very action-pack and some of the evil villains redeemed themselves and everyone had a HEA! Loved the interactions between the characters at the end with the children especially Sable!
4/5
Thanks Laura from Penguin Canada for sending me this book to review, greatly appreciated!
