Truly got bored not even halfway through and I LOVE Hades/Persephone AUs but this just didn’t grip me enough.

Plot bad. Characterization bad. Romance bad. Grammar, syntax, and diction bad.

There are stronger fanfictions than this book.

“Respect could build an empire. Trust could make it unbreakable. Love could make it last forever.”

This was an Audible Unlimited free audiobook and I heard praises when people have talked about this so I tried it out. It has been awhile since I’ve ventured into reading Greek Mythology so when I tried this out, it made me want to read more of these. 

A Hades x Persephone romance retelling. I had to research about the real mythology because I did not know they were married (that’s how little I know about GM). 

This book didn’t have a cliffhanger so it was surprising to see that it’s more than 5 books series. Maybe if it was included in the AU, I would have continued.

I took a bit of a break not because of the book itself life got busy but it was so good! You have to tandem read these. They make so much more sense and are so good. I can’t wait to read the next part of the series. I love how much of a badass Persephone is and how she comes to her powers. The scenes get steamy and it’s awesome! I loved the story line and I can’t wait to see how the story develops and she takes her full power.
