Megara
We all know the story.
How it ended.
He survived and conquered each task.
Became the hero of all heroes.
And in the end he became a legend.
What no one told you is that I was there. I was helping him . . . and when he ascended, I was left behind to rot.
Herakles never knew I sold my soul for his success—he didn’t need to. Had I been enough on my own, he would’ve chosen to stay.
Instead, he rose to full glory.
I was dragged straight to Hades.
Beaten.
Violated.
Broken.
Eventually, mutated.
I lost track of him for nearly three millennia, but I’ve found him.
I will kill him.
He chose to become a god; I was forced to become a nightmare.
Now it’s time for us to meet again.
Herakles
I abandoned my family mere moments before the Greek pantheon fell.
‘Till this day the whispers accuse me.
Had I been there, perhaps they could’ve been saved.
But I no longer gave a fuck.
Funny how vanity can blind a male to what really matters.
It took less than a year on Olympus before I began searching for her again.
I never found her.
Now, two-in-a-half-thousand years later, here I am.
Alone.
Empty.
An immortal ghost, simply getting by.
I should’ve never left her.
The only thing I had was hoping the last of her mortal days, wherever she ended up, were happy . . .
Joke’s on me.
A darkened, twisted version of my female returns, demanding my head for every one of my sins.
And she shall have it.
But first, I’m saving her from her curse.
I’ll sacrifice every ounce of my sanity left to free her . . . right before I let her end me once and for all.

My Thoughts <3
WOW- I have really liked the Sinister Fairy Tales so far but Sacrifice was absolutely great as well! If you think you know the story of Hercules, you have no freaking idea! Kles and Meg’s story is as far from sunshine and roses that you can freaking get. My heart went out to BOTH characters feeling their pain and despair. This is also part of another series by N Isablle Blanco- Ryze- and I am so freaking intrigued now to read more of it too!
All in all this book is dark and if you are bit touchy about stuff, it might not be your jam. If you are open minded and like things a bit twisted and on the dark side with a touch of mythology- I cannot recommend Sacrifice enough. As stated this is a part of another series, but I did not feel left out for not reading anything before, just makes me want to go back and check them out! 😉 I give this a SOLID 4.5 outta 5 and enjoyed the heck out of it!
PS: Thank you to N Isabelle Blanco, the Sinister Fairy Tales Collection, and Enticing Journey Book Promotions for allowing me an advanced copy of the book to read and review honestly!

About The Author:
N. Isabelle Blanco is the Amazon Bestselling Author of the Allure Series, the Need Series with K.I.Lynn, and many others. At the age of three, due to an odd fascination with studying her mother’s handwriting, she began to read and write. By the time she’d reached kindergarten, she had an extensive vocabulary and her obsession with words began to bleed into every aspect of her life.
That is, until coffee came a long and took over everything else.
Nowadays, N. spends most of her days surviving the crazy New York rush and arguing with her characters every ten minutes or so, all in the hopes of one day getting them under control.
