4.0

The modern setting was interesting with humans in the roles of Greek gods in a sort of mafia-styled world, but with references to our own. I’m not sure how it actually all works, but it internally consistent and engaging. The sex was hot with lots of dominance and submissive play. I plan to continue this series, particularly as I’m curious to see the storylines of side characters play out in their own novel.

A sexy Hades and Persephone retelling set in modern times but an alternate universe. Zeus is a thug and an asshole, Demeter is kind of the worst. I adore Persephone and her sisters. Hades is too sweet. There are dogs. Hermes is the best and better get a book at some point.

ramakn22's review

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.

emotional tense fast-paced

4.0

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.
