It’s been on my TBR for a year at least and when I finally started it, I TORE through this in a single day I was so obsessed (look, I had an 11 hour air travel day, and this book was nothing less than salacious).

This book was a fun read, but not a masterpiece. I enjoyed the characterizations, the modern day play of Greek mythology, and the romance scenes were written well.

The pacing was pretty clumsy - at certain points of interactions I would wonder "what?? How did we get here?" and re-read back a few pages to see if I missed something. Some romance scenes or developments sort of just happened with no real lead up that made very much sense to me. Some of the exposition was corny - but I mean, it's a fantasy romance, so that's to be expected at least a little bit, I think.

Honestly, I have no idea how the author wrote 6 (?) more books for this series. This one felt like enough. It was pretty wrapped up by the end and I don't really find myself wanting for more with this universe.

TL;DR - pretty good romance fantasy. If you like Greek Mythology re-tellings and steamy romance without a ton of caring for the plot making perfect sense, then you'll probably like this book.

Loved Hades. Wasn’t so sure about some of the female characters who seemed quite shallow at first but they weren’t bad and I did prefer them as we got into the book.
