This is my 2nd Katee Robert book and I loved it! I think I’ve read 4 Hades/Persephone retelling and this one is by far my favorite. I thought it was so neat how she would reference the traditional character while keeping the story modern and current. It was super spicy

Just the right amount of spice with an engaging plot that made me care about the characters and their motivations beyond the physical interactions. Very tastefully written, looking forward to the next one!

This book was recommended as I wanted something smutty and a little over the top. With that being said I normally do not like fantasy or "other world" like books.
This book is set into the time of the Gods and focuses on Hades and Zeus along with other God characters. I do not have much knowledge of Greek Mythology and therefore did not have many complaints about the set up of this book but did find reviews that complained about the accuracy of the Greek mythology. I was not invested so much in that and was mostly here for the smut...which it delivered!! I have to say this was very racy read and lived out a few fetishes.
At times I was a little annoyed by Persephone as she would always have a remark about something but didn't put up much of a fight. I guess you could say she was very sarcastic and at times it came across as annoying to me. Other than that I enjoyed both her and Hades as main characters. I also enjoyed that the author built up the sexual experiences and tied that in with the end when they both fully trusted each other and were ready.
I enjoyed that as an audience we were anticipating the big public scene and it was built up through the entire book BUT I did feel that it left little to desire. There were other scenes that I thought were spicier to me. Although that is true this book is not for the faint of heart sexually! It does have some trigger warnings when it comes to domination and consent.
Overall I enjoyed this book for what it was, a spicy read! It did have a plot (even if it was less than impressive to me) and carried themes throughout it which made for it to have some substance. It does look like there are other books in this series but this one could definitely be read as a stand alone and I am not sure I personally will read the other books.

Quick thoughts
I feel like the spice wasn’t as good as her past books I’ve read, it actually took me a couple of days to finish! I was excited about this book…but I dunno
