This book was fun for a quick read. I’ll probably read the follow up books. It’s not amazing, but engaging enough. The sex scenes do get a bit repetitive and the pacing goes a bit too quick at times.

'Tis the season for Hades/Persephone retellings, so it seems. In comparison to Neon Gods, this one definitely follows the structure of the original myth more closely, while also being set in a modern (imagined) world. The world building was a bit more apparent in this version as well. Less steamy than N.G., but that's not necessarily a poor critique. This book felt more like a CW show, whereas Neon Gods belongs on HBO.
