A Touch of Darkness by Scarlett St. Clair
Heed the content warnings! Adonis is a predator and he drugs Persephone and Lexa and forcibly kisses Persephone. The characters are taken care of and Adonis is dealt with, but be careful if you need to skip parts, skip them.
I'm so excited to dig into this series! Hades the God of Death and Persephone the Goddess of Spring. I loved this book! I adore that Hermes calls Persephone: Sephy. So cute! I really liked the idea of New Athens, of Gods and Mortals existing in the same space. I enjoyed the characters that the author created from these age-old myths.
Like in other Scarlett St. Clair books we get this push/pull of the heroine fighting her feelings for the hero because he is “bad.” But what does bad mean anyway? As with other Scarlett St. Clair books we get a strong heroine looking for freedom and she comes into her power. Excellent story!

It was okay...the first bit was actually interesting but then the rest was just a porno.

Loved this book! Took a little over half way of the book to get to the real spiciness but the spiciness is as SPICY

looove love love - it’s a nice (tiny) change from the romances i’ve been obsessed with most recently, this is more dark and i’m a sucker for fantasy romance. On to #2

POV: you’re a mix of YAF, adult fiction (the spicy) and have characters that are like rabbits. The ending was super rushed and it really was just an awful experience that I read too far into to just stop.
