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

I much prefer this version of Hades and Persephone over the version in A Touch of Darkness. Unique world building, compelling plot, interesting characters, and excellent spice. I only wish there'd been a little more exposition to really establish the villain as scary and threatening. Looking forward to reading the second one!

trigger warnings: manipulative parents, violence, sexual content, alcohol, drugs mention, gun violence

This is a fine interpretation of Hades-Persephone tbh. I'm not mad about people romanticizing and turning Hades into a torn and misunderstood hero. It's an entirely different story with the same names. No biggie. I definitely enjoyed this one. A bit wordy, a bit cheesy, a bit insta-love-y but meh not shabby. It definitely underdelivered on the dark smut part. Other than a couple of scenes where they fucked with spectators it's pretty par for course in any other romance. Hades calls himself a dom I call him a deluded simp. It's cool.
