While it never explicitly states it has anything to do with an eating disorder, Persephone does have quite a few times in which she puts eating on the back burner and Hades makes her eat.

I was looking for a good Persephone and Hades story and saw this. I knew nothing going into this book and it was much more spicy than I expected. That being said I throughly enjoyed it and read the whole book in one night (I did stay up till 2:00am to finish it). There were a few grammatical errors and typos but they did not interrupt the story.

sThis one was definitely worth the wait. I can't believe it took me so long to remember it was on Spotify as an audiobook. I'd wanted to read it for so long and honestly the audiobook made it so much more enjoyable. Like listening to a telenovela-style drama unfolding. I loved it!

I adore almost any kind of Greek mythology retellings but especially Hades and Persephone ones. The whole enemiea to lovers trope is (without a doubt) my jam and the fake dating…*chefs kiss*

Hades is such a big bad ol' boogeyman but is such a ball of goo for his girl. And Persephone...YASSS! I adore this girl. The young and sweet little siren luring big bad Hades into actually feeling. I loved her character growth as well as her naughty vixen side.

Full of hot, steamy, and sometimes *public* sexy content, I also have to mention the fact that both Hades and Persephone are bi, and have dated both genders before. That was certainly a first for me.

I honestly can't fault this book much, my only criticism was that Persephone's voice actor doing 'male' voices jarred me a little but, eh, I'll live.
