 I'm weirdly upset that a retelling this similar to the original (aka same names, status, etc) takes place in America. I guess everything really is Americanized these days.

Besides that I enjoyed reading this. Does it have a crazy intricate plot and amazing character development? No. Does it have a sexy romance with a lot of smut scenes? Yes. And that's exactly what I wanted from it.

I really liked this book however the setting and the world building were hard for me to grasp.  I know that’s not a huge part of this book but the confusion took me out of the story at times.  Otherwise it was a very enjoyable read 😄

Amazing book, I love Katee Robert’s books. Can’t wait to read the rest of the series. I loved Persephone and Hades relationship and how we all hate Zeus. Such a cute relationship but full of spice dang 🥵. Have fun reading

While it never explicitly states it has anything to do with an eating disorder, Persephone does have quite a few times in which she puts eating on the back burner and Hades makes her eat.
