ending felt rushed, things happened so quickly it was like a slap in the face and idk where it came from

hades isn't who I expected him to be especially in a book like this, he seemed more like twinky tall white man on TikTok than a mysterious cool hot dude.

I wouldn't recommend tbh

This was a fun read. Katee Robert never disappoints. Before this I read her Wicked Villians books and I gotta say, she really knows how to tell a good, sexy story.

Always love a good Hades x Persephone retelling. Is it the best retelling? No. Is it the worst? Also no. If you’re looking for a smutty retelling then this is the one for you. This book does contain voyeurism, which I’m not a fan of, but I was able to push past it. Some of the plot seemed rushed but it’s also easy to follow if you understand the general idea of Hades & Persephone’s story. I’m curious to see how Demeter’s character develops over the next few books. The ending with her seemed too good to be true. I also wish we got more of the rest of the 13…Poseidon, Apollo, Aphrodite, etc.

My rating would be slightly higher but I just could not stand the voice of one of the narrators, Zara Hampton-Brown. I know this is trivial but it made me at times not want to finish the book. Persephone’s pov was fine until she attempted to do “Hades’” voice. It was honestly terrible. Everyone has their perception of what characters sound like in their head when they read & audiobook narrators can sound different than what you expect but in this case, it was horrible. She gave pauses in his sentences that made zero sense & it made Hades sound unsure of himself half the time. The way she perceived his character versus how the male narrator perceived his character were drastically different. And the way she pronounced Zeus…”zeeeeooooosss”…highly irritating to my ears.

Overall the book was okay…I’d highly suggest reading it over listening to it though.
