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!

Loved this Greek retelling. Hades is perfection. Wish there was a book two just about them.

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.

I thought this was okay. I enjoyed reading it for the most part. I had some issues with some of the black and white morality around

murdering a wife killing abuser

, but overall I liked it well enough. The plot is thin at times, but there’s enough there to keep the story moving. One of my least favorite things about this is that they aren’t actually gods? Just people with the “roles” - I saw someone say this is more mafia than mythology and I feel like that is an accurate assessment.

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!
