This book was just not my cup of Joe. It was a lot like 50 Shades which I didn't like either. The plot was meh. I personally prefer books that have spice but also have a strong plot and amazing characters.  Books that are all spice and the rest is weak.

I don't know how to describe this other than Budget ACOMAF (ft. greek mythology). I really enjoyed the first half of this but the flaws were just too distracting. I found the poor world-building distracting and difficult to understand. Zeus is the king of the gods, but he gives off more mafia boss vibe than a God vibe and then there's no real magic except for the river and possibly Hermes and it's all very confusing. It's a fun, fast romance that gets bogged down in a poorly executed retelling. I really think this could've been a new all-time favourite if the world-building and characters had been fleshed out a bit more.

But, when it comes down to it, I'll probably continue the series because I'm a sucker for a guy falls first romance and I really enjoyed the Hades/Persephone scenes and their dynamic was really fun!
