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.

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.
