i wish this book was longer, that’s the only reason for a 4/5 rating. i finished in just a few days, and was hoping for a few more plot points and circle-backs, but that’s just me and my preference.

Okay so personally I would have say yes to Hades. So no story for me. 

That was… interesting? I think I would have like it without the rape scenes tbh. Is there any dark romance without rape? 
Also Persephone is kind of too naive

This is a dark lesbian retelling of hades and Persephone. The writing is fantastic, there is a content warning on the first page. Please read it before  reading the book.
