This book is heavy on the romance. Open door romance so be prepared for that.

Highly recommended read
What a beautiful story of finding one own strength and believing in oneself.
I found it slow in the beginning up until 60% after that the story accelerated, with twists, heartbreak, and power.
No matter that the beginning never gripped me I still enjoyed Persephone and Hades story immensely. The slow burn between them was very titillating and the growth of Persephone was beautiful to read.
Highly recommended series and I will definitely read book 2.

always wanted to try reading this book since i've heard good things. great first book! I loved hades and persephone's relationship growth. hades is very handsome, definitely up there with the top fictional men like rhysand and casteel.
the ending felt a little rushed but that's okay. i'd love to see what happens next!

i love mythology and retellings, but this was not the hades and persephone modern romance i had hoped it would be. :( so much potential, but it just fell flat. it felt very juvenile, the instalust was too instant, i didn’t feel attached to the fmc or mmc at all, and the dialogue just didn’t land for me sometimes. despite this, i still had a hard time putting it down

I loved everything about this. Got nothing negative to say, it was perfect and I love Hades. He's so handsome and yes he has his flaws but damn 🫠 Persephone was great, so strong and powerful.
I was afraid that the whole modern mythology part would throw me off but tbh it didn't bother me and I enjoyed learning about some of the gods. I had heard about a few of them before. The chemistry between Hades and Persephone is insane ooooof.
Devoured this book and I can't wait to read the second one!

I LOVVVEEEED THIS!!! Hear me out: the beginning is a bit annoying and I was not happy and it took me a minute to get into it and it was slow. BUT - as soon as you hit 20% or so, it gets addictive. I was just super busy, so getting to 20% took me a while. So really, the only reason this is not a 5/5, is the beginning and maybe the end which felt very rushed. Regardless, this was so fun and I loved it. I fell in love with Hades the second he popped up, and I really liked persephone too. The story was really nicely written, and had a nice mixture of actual plot, simple greek mythology details, and spice. The story is a persephone and hades retelling, and it was so cute. My favorite parts were the bathing scene and the baking scene. SOO GOOD. Anyway. I recommend this, especially if you love greek mythology like me, because it made the story so interesting and added layers and depth to the plot. Great read :)))
