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

per my spreadsheet:
i was told the spice was going to burn my face off but here i stand with my brows and lashes in tact. i don't know why, but this book really was a slow read for me. the plot wasn't plotting for me. but even though i still have my eyebrows- i was here for the spice and i will be here for the next one.

spice 🌶  - a 5 🌶  spicy (romance.io scale)
length - just right
reading speed - read in 1 week and 3 days
did it make me cry? - nope

innae's review against another edition

4.5

I have always loved the story of Hades and Persephone.   This version did not disappoint.   The audio version was lovely, but I also left some post-it flags in my paperback version.  I look forward to more in the series.
