Hot as Hades by Alisha Rai
4.0
Ok, if you can get past the opening (it is ssssteamy and I can see it turning people off) it is an interesting retelling of Hades and Persephone. Not an abstract retelling but an almost literal retelling with some minor changes.
Rai changes some details of the original myth to make it more palatable, ancient Greeks may not have minded incest laden myths but we do, and filled in a lot of gaps for me. We all know the story, but what about family dynamics between gods? Hades' feelings? His day to day duties? I think Rai did a good job of expanding the story and then some.
