Started reading this book for a laugh. Fell down a rabbit hole looking into the author. Continued reading the book for a laugh and out of respect for the writer's hustle. Katee is also a solid person with solid opinions.  I hope to one day have the drive it takes to write trashy erotica based on current trends and make schmoney like she does.

If you're here because you like those super samey Hades/Persephone retellings, you aren't going to get anything new. The Greek pantheon is more of a vehicle to help get the story out with easy characters and tropes to pull from because everything is already there. It was just a matter of making it modern. 

I will be reading the rest of the books in this series with my Cringe Book Club (which is just me and my homie, Jason).
