Voordat je aan dit boek begint, lees eerst even de trigger warnings. Ik dacht dat het een romance was, maar het is bijna puur spice. Er zit een verhaallijn in, maar hier ligt helaas de focus niet. Je volgt een verhaal van Persephone en Hades, twee van mijn favoriete personages. De andere goden, zijn ook echt goed beschreven zonder dat daar de focus op ligt. Hades is zoals altijd een donkere, duistere man met een klein gouden hartje. Hij beschermt alles wat hem lief is. Ik vond de manier hoe de romance zich ontwikkelde echt mooi om te lezen. Van een deal naar echte gevoelens. Hij laat duidelijk zien dat hij alles voor Persephone over heeft
zelfs het adopteren van drie puppy's šŸ¤­
de schrijfstijl is ook erg prettig en hij leest vlot weg. Ik had het alleen fijner gevonden als het verhaallijn iets meer naar voren was gekomen.
ook was het vermoorden van de machtige Zeus wel erg makkelijk
. Ondanks alles heb ik toch genoten en wil alle andere delen ook lezen!

Loved this Greek retelling. Hades is perfection. Wish there was a book two just about them.

Wow šŸ˜ Iā€™m not usually into super spicy books but I thought this one had a good level, where it focused more heavily on the plot but still added quite a bit of šŸ”„ in the last 2/3ā€™s. I wasnā€™t too keen on the fact that it was a very modernized retelling but I loved the concept as a whole. I loved Hermes as a side character!! And otherwise, yeah there were flaws and cliches, but I donā€™t think thatā€™s what most of us were paying attention  toā€¦ 
Anyway yeah Iā€™ll read anything Hades and Persephone even if I know itā€™ll be a bit out of my comfort zone. And in this case, going out of my comfort zone was rewarded!

I love a reimagining of Greek Mythology. This one took away their god statuses but kept them at the most powerful 13, in the city of Olympus. I love portrayals of Hades like this where he is the bad guy in everyoneā€™s story until Persephone shows up.

Amazing book, I love Katee Robertā€™s books. Canā€™t wait to read the rest of the series. I loved Persephone and Hades relationship and how we all hate Zeus. Such a cute relationship but full of spice dang šŸ„µ. Have fun reading
