This series was highly recommended to me by all of the algorithms, and I've liked some of Katee Robert's other works, but this was not for me at all.

This definitely falls into both the romance and erotica genres. In fiction I love a powerful man that everyone thinks is dark and scary but just playing that as a role, and you definitely get that with Hades here. If. you're looking for a romance that's not a beach read, but not a full-on dark romance, this is a great in-between. (Maybe a medium-gray romance? 😂) It's a bit like if 50 Shades of Gray actually did kink culture correctly and the relationship between the two main characters was actually healthy. Oh, and everyone is queer!

Kinks involved include public sex, rough sex, possessive language, and dirty talk.

Fast, fun, and hot. Pacing and world-building were a little inconsistent—it felt like we needed another chapter to get to know Persephone before the story started. It also seemed like maybe there were two initial ideas about how to handle Hades that weren’t quite reconciled (does everyone think he’s a myth or is he holding legendary sex parties and lots of people actually know he’s alive?). Fun, just a bit messy and repetitive

I read 2 Katee Robert books back to back and I was surprised! The first one was non stop smut with a sprinkle of plot and this one had a good mix of the two!
I'm a big fan of books about Hades x Persephone, it's such a good story (or maybe I just want a dark bf but that's beside the point).
This one really captivated me! It doesn't go too deep into greek gods but I enjoyed it nonetheless, the premise was great and the smut even greater!
I mean... I wasn't sure I would like voyeurism but tbh... It was kind of hot...
Anyways~ recommend for anyone that wants a good Hades x Persephone story with a good sprinkle of bdsm smut (light).

This is one of the main series that I have seen floating around on BookTok for Katee Robert so I was excited to pick this up. This is a dark romance retelling of the story of Hades and Persephone so I was so in. Not only was the spice 5/5 but I was also invested in the plot. I loved the relationship between Hades and Persephone and found the way the author integrated the aspects of mythology really fun and different.
