Reviews with content warning for Death of parent - Neon Gods

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!

I really wanted to love this book. It had such potential if more world building and details were added in. I just had a lot of questions about how this whole world worked and felt like the plot either wasn't moving at all or was moving to quickly to let the story breath. I also hated how much the characters told us instead of showing. Really I would rate this book 2 stars- except I really enjoyed the relationship between Hades and Persphone and the smutty scenes. If you are looking for something smut filled with a cute relationship this is a good choice. If you want more depth to the story it just might not be what you are looking for.
