A Touch of Darkness
by Scarlett St. Clair
4-Stars ⭐️ Sexy, fun, easy-read
"Respect could build an empire. Trust could make it unbreakable. Love could make it last forever."
A Touch of Darkness was my first Persephone x Hades retelling, and I absolutely LOVED it! I actually read it straight through in one sitting.
Is this a well-written, meaningful romance story? Hell no. But is it fun and smutty? Hell yeah!
If you're looking for something light to read that's heavily sprinkled with sexual tension, then A Touch of Darkness will hit the spot. Just know, the romance is the driving force behind the story, so don't expect much else and enjoy it for what it is.
*SPOILERS*
Things I liked:
The modern setting. As someone who knows a lot about Greek mythology, it was fun to imagine how the gods would integrate themselves into a modern world. From the electric clubs to the bustling Acropolis to the beautiful Underworld, it was a fascinating world to discover.
The Romance / Smut. Persephone and Hades are the epitomai of two people completely lost in their lust for one another. There's so much sexual tension, the banter is great, and the smut is excellent *chefs kiss*. If anything, I wanted even more smut, but I'll just have to read the second book in the series!
