"Each book focuses on a different Greek god and a standalone romance, so they can technically be read independently.

The Contemporary Mythos series is Carly Spade’s best-known work, spanning six novels published between 2020 and 2022. Each book takes a different Olympian god and places him in the modern world, where the gods live in disguise among mortals. The series follows each god as he encounters the mortal woman who turns out to be his fated mate.

Hades kicks things off in 2020, followed by Apollo, Ares, Eros, Poseidon, and Zeus. While each book tells a complete romance, characters from previous novels show up in later entries, building out the world as the series progresses. The tone balances mythology with contemporary settings and humor. Spade leans into the fun of contrasting ancient divine beings with modern dating and social situations. The series also spawned a set of holiday companion novellas and the Beyond a Contemporary Mythos spin-off.
