not quite a 5 star read

only because of the obscene amount of times the author referred to a vagina as an “entrance”

if you thought this was good, you should see what’s on ao3. they’re doing things you wouldn’t even believe over there. if this is on your tbr, skip it. nothing of substance to be found here.

this… sucked. a bunch of trite nonsense. i kept waiting for it to surprise me but it only surprised me with how flimsy and thin a plot and main characters could be. 

The storyline was great and there were a few really interesting plot twists!

This book was way more fun than I was expecting it to be!

I put off reading this one for a long time because I was sceptical of the idea of a story about Greek gods happening in the modern world, but it was actually great! I will definitely continue reading the rest of the series.

The story was fun, the characters were cute, and there was lots of spice with never a dull moment.

I struggled with how many stars to give it. It was exactly what I wanted/needed at the time. It was fluffy and also steamy and it didn't require much brainpower to read. (i.e. I didn't have to make a character list or memorize a map or magic system just to understand what was going on). However, I do feel like something was lacking in the writing/story that I can't quite put my finger on. My lack of emotional connection to the main character ultimately made me decide on 4 stars. If the other reviews are any indication... I suspect, Hades' POV won't disappoint in that regard.

This was a fantastic retelling of hades x Persephone
I absolutely loved it!!!
