Review: Omega Beginnings Miniseries

Omega Beginnings Miniseries Omega Beginnings Miniseries by Lizzy Ford
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Foundation For The End Times Begins



This series must be read in order. This volume contains all eight prologue mini books. I can't wait to read Omega!



This is an amazing series and I really enjoyed each and every installment. Each book is a look into the life and thoughts of one of the main characters in this series. What motivates them is sometimes more shocking than the actions they take! I really like how this collection of stories sets the stage for the series as a whole :) It is not to be missed! I wish more authors would take the time to lay the groundwork for their new worlds so well.

Review: Herakles

Herakles Herakles by Lizzy Ford
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Becoming A True Hero


This series must be read in order. The first book is Alessandra. The second book is Mismatch. The third book is Phoibe. The fourth book is Lantos. The fifth book is Theodocia. The sixth book is Niko. The seventh book is Cleon. This is the eighth book. I can't wait to read Omega!



Herakles has finally become himself again... Sort of. When Alessandra touched him all the brainwashing performed at Cleon's insistence dissolved leaving him a broken and conflicted man. He saw a "monster" trying to take off with Alessandra and killed it, taking her to safety. He doesn't deserve to be in the presence of a being as pure and special as her... Especially, as before he became himself, he killed her parents. Maybe she needs him, but his presence will just endanger and taint her... Won't it? Can he ever reconcile the things his Patron made him do as the People's Champion? Will he ever be able to look at his created face and body in the mirror without loathing? Should he stay and protect Alessandra? Or leave her in the care of the Priests to spare her his taint? Will she be better off with him or without him? What do the Gods' wishes matter to him? Can he make up for all the harm he has caused by doing some good? Or should he just end his tortured existence now and spare himself all the agony?

Review: Cleon

Cleon Cleon by Lizzy Ford
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Overshadowed No Longer

This series must be read in order. The first book is Alessandra. The second book is Mismatch. The third book is Phoibe. The fourth book is Lantos. The fifth book is Theodocia. The sixth book is Niko. This is the seventh book. I can't wait to read Herakles!


Cleon is (unfortunately) still afraid of his now dead father. You would think that once the sadistic monster dies the panic attacks would stop... Sadly it is not that easy to overcome years of torture and abuse. Why didn't Niko stick to the plan? Is he going to be implicated in the murder of his father? Will he be able to neutralize his siblings or will he be forced to commit Fratricide as well as Patricide? Will he be able to take over his father's position as Vice Magistrate?

Review: Niko

Niko Niko by Lizzy Ford
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

For The Love Of Money, Violence & Power

This series must be read in order. The first book is Alessandra. The second book is Mismatch. The third book is Phoibe. The fourth book is Lantos. The fifth book is Theodocia. This is the sixth book. I can't wait to read Cleon!


Niko can not handle being a father. He hates what loving Theodocia makes him feel. He never thought he truly had a heart... Much less one capable of falling in love with another person! The broken heart alone might kill him. Finally getting a chance to fight for a chance to meet the Patron of the People's Champion seems like a good time and place to unleash all the rage burning inside him. At least if he dies here it will mean something... And send a big fat check to help raise his child. Will he triumph over the other contestants and win the Audience with the Patron? Or will the unnamed beast kill them all? Can he even pass the written questionnaire he needs to fill out to compete? Will he become an Olympian?
