Hades is a sweetheart and hot, Persephone is stubborn and strong willed, love a retelling with a spicy twist. Also love the world building of Olympus as a city with the main gods as political positions

I love a reimagining of Greek Mythology. This one took away their god statuses but kept them at the most powerful 13, in the city of Olympus. I love portrayals of Hades like this where he is the bad guy in everyone’s story until Persephone shows up.

I liked this book because it was enjoyable, but that is about all the reason I have. The plot isn't great. Not sure if it just wasn't planned out well enough or if the pace was too fast, but there are definitely plot holes. If you like spicy books this is a good option, but the plot is lacking. 

I will say I liked the Greek gods twist.

This book was SO MUCH FUN!! Like the blurb on the cover says, its sex scenes are "unspeakably hot", with Hades being a loving, caring dom and Persephone a bratty sub (which is exactly how I would imagine them, and it's to die for). But apart from that, the book is also incredibly clever and suspenseful. The original myth is modernised in a way that you never see coming, but that's so smart and made me yell in excitement. 

I will definitely be reading more from this author, if only because I need to know more about this divine world. (And because the smut is just so good.)
