Exactly what I was looking for in a romance book. I didn’t think I wanted something about the Greek gods but here we are. I loved it.

1.0

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.

This story is a dark and emotional retelling of Greek mythology with a strong focus on romance and erotica, set in a fast-paced, adventurous world. I really enjoyed this Hades and Persephone retelling.

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.

I thought it was a fantasy novel and it turns out it was just a Greek gods version of 50 shades. Straight BDSM, no relevant plot, toxic sexual relationship framed as a romance in a fantasy world

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.
