A review by bhavani
Hot as Hades by Alisha Rai

4.0

Hades and Persephone retelling that explores power, who has and wields them and who doesn't. It begins with Hades having all the power and Persephone having the potential for greatness but is unaware of it. Throughout the story, power moves between them until eventually she comes into her own and realizes her worth and the full extent of her power. That's when their powers reach equilibrium. I think this is a well-written short story (maybe novella?) that's also the first Alisha Rai book I've read.
