OMFG!!! THE ENDING! Great story and fantastic ending. Can't wait for the next one.

 Love this book!.  This is the first book in the Hades series, and honestly, it blew me away. Madison Kate series was okay, but this? This takes it to a whole new level. Hades is an absolute powerhouse of a heroine—fierce, intelligent, and unapologetically ruthless. I was obsessed with her from the very first page. Her backstory is intense, her leadership is badass, and her control of the Timberwolves is legendary.

Tate James delivers everything I want in a dark romance—gritty action, sharp dialogue, steamy tension, and plot twists that had me gasping. And if you’ve read MK, you’ll love the subtle crossovers and familiar faces that pop up.

The writing is fast-paced and addictive, and the world-building in 7th Circle feels even more immersive and dangerous than before. This is hands-down my favorite Tate James book so far. If you're into strong female leads and darker, layered storytelling, Hades will not disappoint.

I loved Madison Kate so I knew I’d love Hades even more. Despite how badass I found her character this book was just kinda lacking for me. Like the tension was there but just not enough, I mean come on Zed you can do better!

This was a train wreck and I was irritated with it for the majority of it; I couldn't stop listening. The audiobook narrators are AMAZING! I spent so much time yelling at Hades. How are you the head of a gang, that controls all of the other gangs in the area, and you're this dumb all of the time? HOW? I hated it and loved it.
Cas is my man and I love him. I understand why she's obsessed with him. Zed is in love with her and she loves him and she's too dumb to see it. He tried multiple times to tell her and then chickened out, but twice they woke up platonically in each others arms. Okay. Sure. And then there's Lucas. I am not a fan of this relationship. At all. How is she going to explain this to her sister? That's gross. Absolutely not. But the actual story, her ex-fiance being alive? How is that possible? And now he's what, stalking her? First of all, we did this already with the Madison Kate books. Secondly, why did he wait five years? Finally, how long is he going to wait before he shows himself? I like that Steele made an appearance; he was always my favorite from her previous series (it was fine that Archer showed up too).
This was a disaster and I cannot wait to read the next one!
