About this item
Description
He was supposed to be a myth.
But from the moment I crossed the River Styx and fell under his dark spell…he was, quite simply, mine.
*A scorchingly hot modern retelling of Hades and Persephone that's as sinful as it is sweet.*
Society darling Persephone Dimitriou plans to flee the ultra-modern city of Olympus and start over far from the backstabbing politics of the Thirteen Houses. But all that's ripped away when her mother ambushes her with an engagement to Zeus, the dangerous power behind their glittering city's dark facade.
With no options left, Persephone flees to the forbidden undercity and makes a devil's bargain with a man she once believed a myth...a man who awakens her to a world she never knew existed.
Hades has spent his life in the shadows, and he has no intention of stepping into the light. But when he finds that Persephone can offer a little slice of the revenge he's spent years craving, it's all the excuse he needs to help her—for a price. Yet every breathless night spent tangled together has given Hades a taste for Persephone, and he'll go to war with Olympus itself to keep her close…

The concept is really interesting. The follow through left a lot of frustration about gaps in communication about this world that was created. It was a decent book. I would not read it again though. Members of my book club REALLY enjoyed it, so I think it was mostly a personal preference in styles of writing.
I seriously loved this book!

I loved the Greek mythology representation. The spicy parts were great and I feel like there was a good balance of seriousness and spice. Definitely a book that makes you want to keep reading

The book came in just two days and looked great. I have had some problems with the condition when they’ve been shipped from other stores but they made sure it was wrapped and then put in the box. I absolutely loved this book. A great story line and some spice.

I could not put this book down. The spicyness of some scenes surprised me. The details are so vivid. Still loved every thing about it. We see his hard yet soft side. And we see her gentle (borderline weak) yet committed /stubborn side
Such a let down

I LOVE the trope of Persephone and Hades. You know generally what’s going to happen but as long as it’s well written and the dynamics are tantalizing plus some smut and it’s sure to be amazing, right? Unfortunately this book tripped as soon as it got off the blocks. The language is terribly, incredibly cringy with so many cliche’s at the most expected times. Seriously I was constantly rolling my eyes. The author repeats the same sentiment over and over and over again in the same manner to try to get the point across rather than describing gestures, facial expressions or interpretation of any sort. Oh god and the adult scenes! They have absolutely no build up. Just jolt straight into it and then jolt just as quickly out. I’m super disappointed. Would not recommend.

This was the first paperback book I’ve owned and it was worth it. This Hades and Persephone retelling is very interesting but the author definitely went off the plot to focus more on the characters intimate scenes. I did expect more to happen around the end but overall am not disappointed. Would definitely recommend if you’re getting into 🌶 books. Currently reading “Electric Idol”
Best series ever!

Totally disagree with the “would not recommend” reviews! This is definitely a book to get you back into reading or excited to read. There is definitely more of a focus on the smut but the plot is still a good retelling of hades/Persephone and offers a really interesting perspective. More for a YA or 20 year old but anyone who likes romance, lots of smut and a good story.

I had to push myself through this. I do not like the authors writing style and noticed many editing errors. It was very hard to follow. The plot was lazy. The smut was boring.
Meh.

A new way of telling the Hades and Persephone story, also if you love graphic romances this is for you. I loved it. Dirty mind only.
