Oh, diving into mythology retellings is like opening a treasure chest—so many gems! If you loved 'Percy Jackson's Greek Heroes' for its humor and modern twist on myths, you'll probably adore Rick Riordan's other works like 'The Kane Chronicles', which tackles Egyptian mythology with the same witty, fast-paced style. But let’s branch out! Madeline Miller’s 'Circe' and 'The Song of Achilles' are deeper, lyrical takes on Greek myths, perfect if you want something more poetic but still packed with drama. Then there’s 'Aru Shah and the End of Time' by Roshani Chokshi—it’s like Percy Jackson but with Hindu mythology, and the protagonist’s voice is just as snarky and relatable.
For something lighter, 'Oh My Gods!' by Alexandra Sheppard is a fun, middle-grade romp where Greek gods live in modern London. And if you’re into graphic novels, 'The Olympians' series by George O’Connor is a visually stunning way to explore myths. Honestly, the options are endless once you start looking—my bookshelf is proof!

Mythology retellings are my comfort reads, and Riordan’s approach in 'Percy Jackson’s Greek Heroes' is just chef’s kiss. If you want more mythic chaos, 'Goddess Girls' by Joan Holub is a cute middle-grade series where goddesses navigate school drama—think Percy Jackson but with more glitter. For older readers, 'The Silence of the Girls' by Pat Barker reimagines the Trojan War from Briseis’s perspective; it’s gritty and profound. And if graphic novels count, 'Lore Olympus' by Rachel Smythe updates Greek gods as modern socialites—Hades and Persephone never looked so stylish. Riordan’s imprint also publishes diverse mythic stories like 'Sal and Gabi Break the Universe', which weaves Cuban legends into sci-fi. Seriously, the rabbit hole goes deep!

You know what’s wild? How many authors have taken ancient myths and spun them into something fresh. 'Percy Jackson’s Greek Heroes' stands out because Rick Riordan makes those old stories feel like they’re happening right now. If that’s your jam, try 'Thor’s Serpents' by K.L. Armstrong—it’s Norse mythology with a similar ensemble cast of teen gods. Or 'The Trials of Apollo', also by Riordan, where the god himself gets a hilariously human perspective. For a darker twist, Neil Gaiman’s 'Norse Mythology' is a masterclass in storytelling, though it’s less YA and more… well, Gaiman.
And hey, don’t overlook non-Western myths! 'Dragon Pearl' by Yoon Ha Lee mixes Korean folklore with space opera—it’s unlike anything else. The key is finding that balance of reverence and reinvention, which Riordan nails. My niece got hooked on 'Pandava' series after Percy Jackson, so maybe that’s your next binge!

***This is the third book in the series***
I lost the girl, the love of my life.
I lost my family.
Now I’m lost.
I thought after the war for Riocht, life would get back to normal.
I was so very, very wrong.
Kellen, now King of the werewolves, thought after Lamia and Mathias claimed the throne and became the King and Queen of shifters, life would go on as normal. That he would rule his kingdom and search for his own mate and live happily ever after.
There was still so much to do. He still hadn’t completely taken control of his position as King, leaving his father’s Beta and Delta in charge. Kingdoms and packs still needed to be repaired; he still needed to be officially crowned.
And he still needed to grieve the death of his parents.
Kellen wakes up to find himself on a boat, going to Goddess knows where and the last thing he remembers is saying goodbye to Lamia and heading home with Mike.
When he finds himself in a strange land, sold to a bloody thirsty Alpha and his deranged Luna, for their packs entertainment, his title, means nothing. A man who cares only for three things; the games, the money, and blood; the more shed the better.
While Lamia and Mike search for him on the wrong continent Kellen is thrust into the Gladiator games. Kellen fights for his survival and the lives of many, including one beautiful girl who has captured his heart and has been promised to another as their chosen mate.
Can Kellen survive the Gladiator games when the odds are stacked against him, save the people and claim the mate the moon goddess promised him?
**This is book 3 in The Delta's Daughter series**

Everyone knows the mythology of the gods. What happens if what is known was manipulated by the gods themselves. Our favorite triplets are back. This is their story of how they came to be. Follow along as they grow up and find friends, enemies, and their soul bonds along the way. This is book #2 in the series.
They weren't supposed to exist, yet here they are.
"We have to keep them protected" Zeus roars.
"That doesn't mean we have to keep them locked up." Aphrodite states.
The gods turn as they hear the door opens slamming against the wall. There stand the triples. A look of surprise spreads across everyone's face.
"What the hell did you do to your hair and are those tattoos?" Poseidon asks.
"We dyed it, and yes they are tattoos and we also got a few body piercings" Kylani answers.
"We will not stay hidden away or kept locked up. We have no interest in this life. We are going to walk on the earth with the supernatural and humans. They accept us more than you do." Mykenzie announces.
The girls vanish at that moment. Chris stands there with a look of regret in his eyes. He knew this was coming. They wanted sweet, innocent goddesses like their mother and aunts. What they got was an attitude in a 5'4" package only doubled.
"I told you not to force your ways upon them. They have been independent since birth. You brought this upon yourselves." Hades tells them
My wife, Cassia, was a wood nymph. A cursed one. Forbidden to love mortals.
But she fell for me anyway. Every time her heart fluttered for me, the gods struck her down with agony.
She willingly endured that torture ninety-nine times just for a chance to be with me.
Then, demons dragged me to Tartarus. Hellfire and whips became my sun and moon.
Right as I was about to break, I remembered a prayer Cassia taught me—a desperate whisper to the gods.
It finally worked. But instead of help, I heard Cassia talking to her patron goddess, Hecate.
"Cassia, how could you bargain with the Furies? You let them drag Aiden to Tartarus!"
Cassia's voice choked with desperate tears. "Adonis was supposed to suffer this fate. But he's a fragile mortal. This would destroy his soul! I had no choice if I wanted to save him."
"Aiden is a child of prophecy. His soul is strong. The Fates watch over him. He'll survive."
"Once I save Adonis, I can stay in the mortal realm forever. Then, I'll use my eternal life and all my love to repay the hell he's enduring for me."
My heart shattered.
As the monsters closed in on me, I stopped fighting. I gave up.
I was Apollo’s most devoted follower, the lover he handpicked from a sea of worshippers.
With me, he’d always shed his divine arrogance. He was so tender, so attentive. I actually thought he loved me to the bone.
Until seven days before our Consort Ceremony, when I used my gift of prophecy to peek into our future together.
I expected to see a lifetime of blinding love. Instead, I saw him violently tangled in the sheets with my adopted sister, Cassandra.
Wrapped around him, Cassandra giggled. "You're so good to me, my Lord. Thanks to you, I'll finally get my sister's Sight and take her place as High Priestess."
And Apollo—my god, my lover—smiled down at her with pure adoration. "Whatever makes you happy, little bird. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have played pretend for this long, let alone allow her to become a god's consort."
In that split second, my heart turned to ash. My faith shattered into a million pieces.
With seven days left until the ceremony, I didn't confront them. Instead, I fell to my knees before the altar of Hades, Lord of the Underworld.
"I offer you my gift of prophecy. I will be your most loyal follower in exchange for your sanctuary."
"Please. Take me away from here. Take me somewhere Apollo can never find me."
Hades was well-cast to rule over the land of the dead. But what if Hades, the fearsome monarch of the Underworld was, in fact, a goddess? Everyone called her, 'Lord of the Dead' out of mockery since she prefers the company of women. She was considered an isolated and violent immortal, who loathed change and was easily given to a slow black rage like no others.
But then everything changed when the dark goddess met the daughter of Demeter, Persephone. Now the tale of Hades and Persephone will be retold with a sprinkle of twists and turns.
In the human world, Olympus is merely a fantasy found in books, known as the abode of gods since ancient times. But in another world, Olympus is an enchanted and dangerous place. A place not for gods and goddesses but for peculiar people from the seven castes of power.
However, powers have their limitations, and so does Olympus. And, in the midst of war and darkness, a woman struggling with an identity crisis in the human world has mysteriously entered the enchanted world of Olympus.
In a world where power is the only way to live, will she be able to survive, especially since she has to deal with the man who possesses one of the elemental powers in Olympus?
This isn't just an ordinary world. This isn't just a mere fantasy, nor a figment of imagination. It's the world of Olympus, and it's about the love untold.
If you loved 'The Heroes of Olympus' for its blend of mythology and modern adventure, you’ll probably adore 'The Kane Chronicles' by Rick Riordan too. It’s got the same fast-paced storytelling and witty dialogue, but with Egyptian gods instead of Greek and Roman ones. The sibling duo, Carter and Sadie, are just as dynamic as Percy and Annabeth, and the way Riordan weaves ancient lore into contemporary settings is pure magic. Another gem is 'Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard,' which dives into Norse mythology with that signature Riordan humor and heart.
For something outside Riordan’s universe but equally thrilling, try 'Aru Shah and the End of Time' by Roshani Chokshi. It’s part of the Rick Riordan Presents imprint, so it carries that same energy but introduces Hindu mythology. The protagonist, Aru, is a flawed but lovable heroine who gets dragged into a world of celestial battles and divine secrets. The series has that perfect mix of high stakes and relatable middle-school chaos, much like 'Heroes of Olympus.' I binged the whole thing in a weekend—couldn’t put it down!
You know, I stumbled upon this exact question myself after rereading 'Percy Jackson's Greek Gods' for the umpteenth time. While Riordan's style is undeniably fun and accessible, there’s a whole world of deeper, more nuanced retellings for grown-ups. Madeline Miller’s 'Circe' and 'The Song of Achilles' are absolute gems—they take mythological figures and flesh them out with rich emotional depth and gorgeous prose. 'Circe' especially feels like a grown-up counterpart, with its themes of immortality, power, and self-discovery.
Then there’s Stephen Fry’s 'Mythos' and 'Heroes', which blend Riordan’s wit with a more scholarly yet entertaining approach. Fry’s voice is like having a charming professor narrate myths over a pint. And if you want something darker, Neil Gaiman’s 'Norse Mythology' (though not Greek) has that same mythic vibrancy but with his signature eerie twist. It’s like stepping into a campfire tale for adults.
If you loved 'The Heroes of Olympus' series, you're probably craving more myth-packed adventures with that same blend of humor, heart, and high stakes. Try diving into Rick Riordan's other works like 'The Kane Chronicles'—it swaps Greek and Roman myths for Egyptian gods, but keeps that signature Riordan charm. The dynamic between siblings Carter and Sadie feels just as engaging as Percy and Annabeth's banter.
For something outside Riordan Presents, 'Aru Shah and the End of Time' by Roshani Chokshi is a fantastic choice. It’s part of the Pandava Quintet and weaves Hindu mythology into a modern-day quest. The protagonist’s journey has that same mix of personal growth and world-saving drama. I binge-read it after finishing 'The Blood of Olympus' and it totally filled the void!
I picked up 'Percy Jackson's Greek Heroes' on a whim, and honestly, it was like stumbling into a chaotic, hilarious history class taught by your snarkiest friend. Rick Riordan's signature humor shines through Percy's narration, turning ancient myths into something fresh and relatable. The way he frames these stories—like Heracles' labors or Perseus' monster-slaying—feels less like a dusty textbook and more like a campfire tale where the hero keeps facepalming at his own dumb decisions. It's packed with little asides and modern twists (like Dionysus complaining about reality TV) that make even familiar myths feel unpredictable.
What really hooked me, though, was how it balances comedy with heart. Medusa's backstory hits differently when Percy sarcastically points out how the gods' petty drama ruins mortal lives. It doesn't just retell myths; it interrogates them, asking why we root for certain 'heroes' when they're kind of terrible. If you love mythology but wish it had more sass and fewer pretentious footnotes, this is your book. I finished it craving more—and immediately loaned my copy to a cousin who now won't stop quoting Percy's one-liners.
