The Metis Book Club is a book society for those of you who perhaps want to be noticed, or even if you want to meet new people who you share common interests with. Metis incorporates a Greek Mythology theme, and even if you know nothing about Eros or Ananke, this book club is a way of learning about Greek Mythology. In addition, Metis provides an aesthetically pleasing environment, and allows likeminded people to meet through the house system we have incorporated into our club.
We support five different genres here at Metis, and have divided them into five houses:
EROS [romance]
TISIPHONE [action/adventure]
ANANKE [young adult/teen fiction]
HECATE [sci-fi/adventure]
IAPETUS [short story]
If you have any queries, please PM our personal accounts: @cepheuses or @naughty-nikki
Lots of love,
Siobhan & Nikita

Rostris: The Hunting Demigod
Being the daughter of Goddess Artemis and of a mortal in the 21st Century kind of makes a girl lonely. But with loneliness comes determination to be the best demigod out there. Rostris lives in Foloi Oak Forest alone but grew up with Amposa, a woman centaur whenever her mother wasn't around. Rostris would hunt and train everyday with her bow and arrow with her pet Laelap, a Greek mythological dog who never failed to catch what she was hunting. Rostris was abandoned at birth by her mortal father so she has no idea who he is or his family. Her mother Artemis' side up in Mount Olympus never made contact with Rostris. So when Zeus, her grandfather decides to show up asking for help, she definitely didn't appreciate it. But, she ends up taking on the quest presented to her to hunt a dryad named Ekho. Dryads are female nymphs that inhabit forests and trees. Along the way with the help of Laelap and a runaway Titan, Rostris comes along life-threatening challenges like being close to Ekho but then missing her, dealing with Hera, Zeus's wife, that is trying to kill Ekho out of jealousy because Zeus likes to consort with nymphs and will stop at nothing to do it, and also being targeted by Ekho's daughter Lynx, who can make spells and will stop at nothing to kill Rostris. But what the real test is that is presented to Rostris is trust. Trusting herself and others because trust can go a long way.Complete

Arlo Sarsons - Wrath of Amaterasu
Hey. I'm Arlo Sarsons. If you're holding this book, I'm deeply sorry. You've clearly ignored all the warning signs. This isn't some fun little adventure where I learn life lessons and ride off into the sunset with a big heroic grin. Nah. This is the kind of story where things catch fire for no reason, mysterious people talk in riddles, and I end up in places that probably don't exist on Google Maps. There are monsters. Probably. Secrets? Definitely. And me? I'm just trying to stay alive long enough to figure out what the hell is going on. So if you're expecting something cheerful and heartwarming... maybe try literally any other book. Still here? Cool. But don't say I didn't warn you.

Mia Tao's life in small-town South Carolina is ordinary. She dreams of studying fashion design in New York, and, occasionally, of kissing her best friend since childhood, Alex. Then Liam Morrison moves to town. Beautiful, intelligent, supportive, Liam seems like the perfect man. But Liam isn't in town by accident. Millennia ago, powerful sorceresses formed a coalition with nymphs to banish the gods back to Olympus for their cruel and destructive abuse of power. Now, Olympus is collapsing, and Liam, the demi-god son of a mortal and Artemis, has been tasked with re-opening the gateway between the mortal world and Olympus. If he fails, everyone on Olympus dies. If he succeeds, it unleashes the capricious gods to once again wreck havoc on the lives of mortals. This mission puts him in direct collision course with Alex, whose family are descendants of the sorceresses who expelled the gods and bound by duty and magic to prevent their return. As Mia begins to love Liam, she is pulled into a fated battle between two supernatural factions, with Liam on one side and Alex on the other. Alliances form and break as the creatures and beings long subordinated by human development rise to reclaim power and protect their own. Mia is not only torn personally, but also morally.
