Hades is a sweetheart and hot, Persephone is stubborn and strong willed, love a retelling with a spicy twist. Also love the world building of Olympus as a city with the main gods as political positions

This book was a great re-telling of modern day Olympus. The sexy scenes were super HOT, creative and kinky. The characters were great, I love the creativity like cerebus being 3 puppies. I think it has a great ending but my favorite aspect is that Zeus is just as much of an asshole as he was at that time and everyone calls him out on it, I HATE ZEUS, so it made me happy that a majority of the characters in the book did as well.

Wow 😏 I’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 🔥 in the last 2/3’s. I wasn’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 don’t think that’s what most of us were paying attention  to… 
Anyway yeah I’ll read anything Hades and Persephone even if I know it’ll be a bit out of my comfort zone. And in this case, going out of my comfort zone was rewarded!

I liked this book because it was enjoyable, but that is about all the reason I have. The plot isn't great. Not sure if it just wasn't planned out well enough or if the pace was too fast, but there are definitely plot holes. If you like spicy books this is a good option, but the plot is lacking. 

I will say I liked the Greek gods twist.
