Voordat je aan dit boek begint, lees eerst even de trigger warnings. Ik dacht dat het een romance was, maar het is bijna puur spice. Er zit een verhaallijn in, maar hier ligt helaas de focus niet. Je volgt een verhaal van Persephone en Hades, twee van mijn favoriete personages. De andere goden, zijn ook echt goed beschreven zonder dat daar de focus op ligt. Hades is zoals altijd een donkere, duistere man met een klein gouden hartje. Hij beschermt alles wat hem lief is. Ik vond de manier hoe de romance zich ontwikkelde echt mooi om te lezen. Van een deal naar echte gevoelens. Hij laat duidelijk zien dat hij alles voor Persephone over heeft

zelfs het adopteren van drie puppy's 🤭

de schrijfstijl is ook erg prettig en hij leest vlot weg. Ik had het alleen fijner gevonden als het verhaallijn iets meer naar voren was gekomen.

ook was het vermoorden van de machtige Zeus wel erg makkelijk

. Ondanks alles heb ik toch genoten en wil alle andere delen ook lezen!

 I'd heard about this series, but didn't know anything about it. I did end up hate-reading (it didn't start out that way!) all six of the "Touch of Darkness" books that this book gets compared to, and the main things that I've seen have been that this book has more spice and less plot but is written better than ToD. First off, 100000% this book is written better than ToD, but this is still not literature. It definitely has more spice of a kinkier variety, but I sat through three books of the Hades half of ToD that was way less tasteful (I can't get over the interest in "ball slapping").

"Neon Gods" felt in the tradition of the singular romance novel series where each book is about one couple within a larger world (and it is - looks like Psyche is up next). It is an easy read, and I ended up finishing it quickly. No, it doesn't have a whole heck of a lot of plot, but I liked this Hades more, and the concept of The Thirteen vs them being actual gods was neat. If you like a quick, kinky, romance novel with a darker flavor and some nods to Greek mythology, you'll be entertained.

*I will note that I started this book out with the audiobook but switched over to the paperback because I did not like the readers. They had a reader for each perspective, but then in their respective chapters they would do imitations of the other instead of just having the other voice actor read the dialogue. Took me right out, especially in the spicy scenes. Didn't have a problem once I switched to the paperback.

This story is a dark and emotional retelling of Greek mythology with a strong focus on romance and erotica, set in a fast-paced, adventurous world. I really enjoyed this Hades and Persephone retelling.
