Goddess Legacy by M.W. Muse Book Tour




Hi, ya’ll! I want to thank the peeps with Musings From An Addicted Reader for having me here today. :) This is my first official tour celebrating the books in this series since I’ve been so busy trying to get these out as quickly as I can, so I’m going to make it worth your time to join in the fun.

I love being female. I am totally girly in that I have shoe, purse, and makeup obsessions. Yes, I love to shop. I am also from the south where guys are (generally) taught to open doors of all kinds for ladies, allowing “ladies first” when it comes to practically everything, and probably a whole lot of other things that I can’t think of because it’s just the norm. But because I enjoy shopping and practically being pampered by strangers doesn’t mean I don’t want to be strong…or read about women who are strong. Do I love to read? Oh, hell yeah! I love all things romance. I don’t care the genre, troupe, or even the characters personalities. If I read the same thing all the time, I’d get bored. But what I do notice a lot is that female characters tend to be frail in one fashion or another. Is that okay? I guess. I still eat up the books I read. But when it came to writing this series, I wanted a female lead that was strong…or would be strong… in her own right. And the character Legacy was born.

Legacy Kore. She went through so many changes over the years until I got her just right. But the one thing I didn’t change was that I wanted her to be the focus of the series. A lot happens with a lot of people, but without her, there is no story. If you’re just now hearing about the series for the first time, Legacy discovers on her seventeenth birthday that she’s going to be a goddess. That’s it in its simplest form. I wanted her to be strong in her own right. Are there strong guys? Um, of course! And they’re hot, too, and Adin and River both want to be with Legacy. Just because I wanted a powerful chick doesn’t mean I didn’t want strong male leads. No one wants to read about a woman constantly saving wimpy-ass men. That’s pathetic. Plus, I just love male eye-candy. LOL! But I didn’t want her to be the classic damsel in distress, waiting for a man to save her because she doesn’t know how to use a knife, either. She still has to feel real, have issues to overcome, and grow.

So there’s a little look into the character Legacy. Another character I thought about when writing was Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I liked that she was strong yet vulnerable. Plus, I just loved the series. Now I want you to tell me about a strong female character you love. It can be in books, movies, tv, etc. For playing along, one commenter will be picked to win their choice an ebook from the Goddess Series!

GODDESS LEGACY
Goddess Series, Book 1



Legacy Kore is an average seventeen year old with your basic insane crush on the hottest guy in school... rather Adin Shepard was the hottest guy in school before he graduated a couple of weeks ago. Now it’s summer vacation and she’s not sure when she’ll get to see him again. Until he shows up at her surprise seventeenth birthday party. Cue saliva glands--it’s time to drool.

But her giddiness is cut short when her guardian delivers an emotional blow, telling Legacy her mother hadn’t died when she was baby, but that she’d left for Legacy’s protection all those years ago. After the initial shock, she expects some story about how her mother was in the Witness Protection Program or something else just as crazy, but when she’s told that her mother is a Greek Goddess and that Legacy is changing into one too, she thinks her guardian needs a trip to a mental hospital. Legacy a goddess? Um, yeah. Right. And her BFF is the Easter Bunny.

While trying to make sense out of something that was impossible to believe, Adin asks Legacy out on a date. She is thrilled that her fantasy might become a reality, but when she meets the new guy in town, River, she discovers everything isn’t always as it seems, and the legacy she wants just might not be the legacy she is destined to have.

GODDESS SECRET
Goddess Series, Book 2



Legacy only thought she had this goddess thing under control. Well, as much as any other chick could have given the crazy circumstances. But when she learns the truth about her abilities, she is forced to keep a secret so powerful that she and the people closest to her could get hurt if it falls into the wrong hands.

Then there’s Venus, the goddess Adin is bonded to. And River, the god Legacy is bonded to. Do Legacy and Adin have a chance at a real relationship or are these external factors going to pull them apart? It won’t stop them from trying…or letting things heat up between them as they explore the boundaries of their relationship. Where’s the fun in just focusing on her ascension? Nothing wrong with having fun with her boyfriend.

As long as she keeps her secret…

GODDESS SACRAFICE
Goddess Series, Book 3

Legacy wouldn’t let a little thing like changing into a goddess distract her from the joys of her senior year in high school...or hanging with her friends. She enjoys the dances and parties and getting closer to Adin...even trying her hand at seducing him. She’s ready to take their relationship to the next level, regardless of any bond she might have with River and any bond Adin has with Venus.
But the prophecy is still there, lurking in the background. And while Legacy is wrapped up with living her life in the now, forces are at work solidifying her future. With the damage done and the full meaning of the prophecy exposed, she’ll be forced to face the consequences...and protecting those she loves compels her to make the greatest sacrifice.
Available at:  Amazon

GODDESS REVENGE
Goddess Series, Book 4


Hell hath no fury like a goddess scorned… at least that’s the way Legacy sees it. Her dreams collide into a message she did not want to acknowledge, but the implication ignites within her hotter than the knowledge of the betrayal itself. The only thing to do to cure getting mad? Getting even. And oh boy, she is going to get even!
Legacy dives into a betrayal of her own making as she teaches her lesson. But can she deliver her punishment without losing her true self in the process, or will the bitter feeling of keeping her enemy close backfire and propel her down a road she never dreamed she’d travel?
One thing’s for certain—revenge doesn’t come without a price.
Available at:  Amazon


GODDESS BARED
Goddess Series, Book 5


The consequences of her actions are too much. Legacy was warned what would happen, but she thought she could outsmart it. She was wrong. How can she pick up the pieces of her life when all she now has is a void existence? The life she wanted...gone. Her heart has been ripped out, leaving her soul bared. The prophecy she’s been battling from the beginning has finally come true. And everything hurts. She never dreamed facing her legacy would be this devastating.

Legacy has known all along that everything happens for a reason. She’s been told that from practically everybody. She must find the strength to reach the stage of acceptance and move on with her life. Gods, why did things have to be this way?

But learning to accept the truth might be easier than she thinks. Her life has been filled with warnings, and one of those is that not everything is as it seems. Maybe there’s a reason that warning had come from Adin...

  1. Well, I just finished the last book of the Delirium series by Lauren Oliver, and I think Lena is a very strong character...she wasn't at first, but because she wanted to love and not be cured, she learned to fight for what she wanted...
