PHARMAKOS

by Emily C Otten

4.6

Delphi is an ordinary data analyst living a predictable life in San Francisco until a mysterious, unrequested prize sweeps her away to a private villa in Greece. Her host is a reclusive, world-famous billionaire whose arrogance and biting superiority complex immediately grate on her nerves. Caught in a classic enemies-to-lovers dynamic, Delphi struggles to maintain her composure while trapped in paradise with a man who seems determined to drive her to the brink of madness. However, there is more to this billionaire than his fortune. Apollo is an ancient, powerful being navigating the human realm while ruthlessly pursuing a centuries-old vendetta. He usually views mortals with detached indifference, but from the moment he encounters Delphi, a strange, electric pull draws him in. As he questions if she is the catalyst for a long-forgotten prophecy, their forced proximity ignites a chemistry that threatens to derail his carefully laid plans for revenge. Filled with sharp wit, modern mythology, and high-stakes tension, *PHARMAKOS* is a captivating romantasy that challenges the very nature of fate. As Delphi and Apollo find themselves entangled in each other’s quests, they discover that destiny is rarely as simple—or as fair—as it seems.

Triggers: violence, murder, war, torture, imprisonment, stalking, SA, bigotry, alcohol abuse "I am the tycoon. You are the student" How do I put into words how much I loved this story? I didn't even get a 1/4 thru before I knew it was a 5 ⭐️ read and without a doubt one of my top 5 reads of the year. I thought mythological retellings simply weren’t my genre… until this book shattered every expectation I had. The story within a story was perfect and brought so much understanding and depth. The world building was divine, so good I could picture how everything looked. It's so well written and there's no loose threads with no major cliffhanger but does set you up for the next book.📚 This book is going to live rent free in my mind forever & also raised the bar for all future books I read ♥️♥️ More)Hide) * !Image 97: Customer Image Thank you for your feedback Close Sorry, there was an error Close Sorry we couldn't load the review Try again Filtering customer reviews Loading customer reviews There was a problem filtering reviews.

On a dreary Sunday evening in San Francisco, Delphi, an analyst by day and smut reader by night, receives startling news. She has won the prize of a lifetime: a week in Greece hosted by one of the world’s most famous and reclusive billionaires. She’s shocked—nothing like this ever happens to her. She spends her days dreaming of opening her own dance studio, and trying not to visibly wince at the chronic pain that still plagues her burned and scarred left hand. So when she steps onto the private jet a week later to be whisked away to a private villa perched above the sparkling turquoise sea and nestled among rolling verdant hills, she’s happy to leave behind the drudgery of her day-to-day life. Well, almost. The only problem is the arrogant entrepreneur himself, whose swaggering superiority complex makes Delphi want to tear her hair out. As one of the most powerful beings in existence, Apollo would normally ignore the silly mortal girl. Back in the human realm yet again, still ruthlessly pursuing the revenge he has sought for so many centuries, he never lets himself get distracted. But when he gets close to Delphi for the first time, his skin tingles in a way it hasn’t in ages. Could she be the answer to the prophecy? From author Emily Otten comes a thrilling story of unlikely enemies to lovers who can’t help but interfere in each other’s quests. A romantasy unlike any other, full of spicy twists and turns that will leave your jaw on the floor. A story about fate, and how sometimes, it’s dead wrong. “What an epic debut for Emily Otten…The twists?! Wild. The friendships? Goals. I absolutely loved the modern mythology, this was so unique from other books that have been released recently, and what a breath of fresh air.” -Alex, Goodreads user ) Report an issue with this product or seller](https://www.amazon.com/PHARMAKOS-Emily-C-Otten/dp/B0GS5CM9B5/ref=sr1754?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.oyQF6YN3Uu8aWDWCy9NlUzDjOSKN4O2n2YjKSCQz0P2yb0uqaGMbNiivLyplOtlBmU4TO1LCqZDLMPNzjnnT1fxvhcNzJtbIFbqMIeQ8ag6Dy4YaUFTqytmS-cJgAfNdHST8TuwSZUq4YooJ4Y4-Diy18mnh2hx8RoAD6e0BiY3qotEL9JsADnpDuczSnt1OwpHaGcAQzu18keLjpjJ3HR1WjuDzTcrBzxWxBiNfQ.qzOB4H1O62APqNyhDytd2ZEZ5TVEYdPWh7Wd0Kb7mI&dibtag=se&qid=1780246417&s=books&xpid=BtZXy3REumMg) Previous slide of product details 1.
