A version of Hades and Persephone's love story that takes place in the real world where Persephone is a journalist major and Hades is a club owner. The parts that took place in the underworld were the most intriguing. I didn't enjoy the parts of the book that took place in the real world, mainly because some of the descriptions weren't important to the story. For example, I didn't like how she included what Persephone was wearing when she was just going to work. That's one of my personal bookish pet peeves so if you don't mind that kind of description then there's much less to criticize. This book is very steamy so I only recommend this to readers who like elements like dark magic, secrets, and descriptive sex scenes. I enjoyed reading it but I don't see myself continuing to read this series.

The relationship between Hades and Persephone wasn’t my favorite or how they were portrayed.
