I knew going in that Neon Gods is a dark romance, and I knew the basics of the story of Hades and Persephone and the rest of the Greek Gods of Olympus that I knew that this wasn't going to be a lighthearted romance novel. However, I did not know that the story involved three kinks from my "hard no" list, meaning that I skipped a good half of the book because I found the sex scenes more than squicky. Will not be reading the rest of the series.

📖Neon Gods by Katee Robert📖

✨Book Review✨

A Modern Greek Mythology Spicy Retelling about Hades and Persephone.

That is all the synopsis you need to know because I want you to read it. This story may not be everyone’s cup of tea but I devoured every moment of it. It was oh so sexy and spicy and the romance was so perfect in my eyes. I would have rate it higher but somehow the details was blurred. I felt like it became contemporary at some point and I was looking for mythological references. But nonetheless, I love it.

If you like:
• Spicy - the level is 5/5 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
• Romance
• Fantasy
• Mythology/Conetemporary
• Political/Power Grabbing
• Betrayal

This might be the story you might be looking for. This is romance/spicy heavy plot — in my eyes. 🌶️☺️🥰 PS I have read Stone Heart as well. But this one NG>SH spice level.

This series was highly recommended to me by all of the algorithms, and I've liked some of Katee Robert's other works, but this was not for me at all.

This book was honestly a miss for me. I feel really bad about it because I thought I was gonna like it. It’s very spicy which some scenes I did like but the overall characters I found annoying and the plot wasn’t great.
