I thought this was going to be a more serious, captivating retelling of Hades and Persephone. It ended up reading like a spicy fanfic, which is not what I expected this to be, but I’m still happy nevertheless. 5/5 for capturing my attention and being sexy, minus 1 star for some cheesy plot/writing.

An absolutely wonderful take on the modern-day Olympus. Roberts weaves a story through easy-to-digest prose and a compelling array of cast members that explores the connections and wonder of a completely different world. 

Hades and Persephone specifically have excellent tension and a fantastic dynamic. Seeing the growth and opening up to each other (in more ways than one 😉) made my heart flutter for them. I can't wait to explore the next in this series!

Tldr; I can’t believe I haven’t read Katee Robert before now! This was such a good dark romance.

This book is HOT! The smut is top tier, and the romance is so cute. AND their relationship is healthy (built on respect & trust af). Also the mythology is pretty accurate for a smut retelling.
