My Rating: ❤️❤️❤️❤️.5
General Thoughts: Have I mentioned I'm obsessed with retellings of Hades & Persephone? Oh, only once or twice. Yes, that's sarcasm. I LOVE and am OBSESSED with retellings of H&P, especially when done like Briggs did here. I adored Briggs' "more than" series, but I didn't love her Zodiac wolves once as much, but I'm so so glad I gave her more chances because I loved this book and this series. I binge-read this series in a day and 2/3 of her related Serpahim series in the same day.
I loved Lucas Ifer and his character. And dang! Stuff morally grey boyfriends are made of. I also liked Hannah.
If you are a PNR fan, check this one. It's a good series.
Quote: “Are you going to steal my soul? Should I be afraid?” “Oh, Hannah. Your soul already belongs to me.”
Steam Meter: ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥 Pretty steamy and hot.
Romantic Tropes
-interconnected spin-off series
-trilogy (with a related fourth book)
-fated mates/soul mates across time
-morally grey MMC
-Hades and Persephone retelling
