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.

✨Book Review✨

A Modern Greek Mythology Spicy Retelling about Hades and Persephone.

That is all the synopsis you need to know because I want you to read it. This story may not be everyone’s cup of tea but I devoured every moment of it. It was oh so sexy and spicy and the romance was so perfect in my eyes. I would have rate it higher but somehow the details was blurred. I felt like it became contemporary at some point and I was looking for mythological references. But nonetheless, I love it.

If you like:
• Spicy - the level is 5/5 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
• Romance
• Fantasy
• Mythology/Conetemporary
• Political/Power Grabbing
• Betrayal

This might be the story you might be looking for. This is romance/spicy heavy plot — in my eyes. 🌶️☺️🥰 PS I have read Stone Heart as well. But this one NG>SH spice level.

Wow 😏 I’m not usually into super spicy books but I thought this one had a good level, where it focused more heavily on the plot but still added quite a bit of 🔥 in the last 2/3’s. I wasn’t too keen on the fact that it was a very modernized retelling but I loved the concept as a whole. I loved Hermes as a side character!! And otherwise, yeah there were flaws and cliches, but I don’t think that’s what most of us were paying attention  to… 
Anyway yeah I’ll read anything Hades and Persephone even if I know it’ll be a bit out of my comfort zone. And in this case, going out of my comfort zone was rewarded!

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.

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.
