River of Shadows by Karina Halle
5.0

OKAY. This book was FULL of surprises, one of them being just how much i enjoyed it!

This is an honest to god Hades & Persephone + Beauty & the Beast retelling. No. Literally. There’s a scene were he shows her the library and she, word for word, says that it’s basically the same library from the animated film of Beauty & the Beast. I mean, hello?! WHAT?! This book breaks the fourth wall that even Deadpool would be proud of it!

I loved that we started right off the bat. A strong opening and an amazing plot. It was dark. Sexy. I’ve never read Finish mythology and i gotta say, i need more of it. It gave me kinda Frozen vibes too which, i loved. Honestly i was not expecting to love this but i did, and now i’m mad that i have to wait a few weeks for book two!
