**I received a free, advanced copy of this book for reviewing purposes.**
R.C. Angel's newest release, *Hades' Game,* is a combination of Hades/Persephone, Cinderella, and Beauty and the Beast. If you like any of those tropes, then this is a great addition to your TBR.
Thanks to her brother's gambling addiction, Cora is forced to utilize her old skills and steal from Hades - the 'king of the underworld.' Driven by her kindness and need to protect her family, Cora manages to pull of the heist - or at least she thinks she does. When Hades decides to use her as collateral in order to get his diamond back, she finds herself in her own version of Beauty & the Beast.
Ayaan, or Hades, is a ruthless leader who always gets what he wants, and he wants Cora. He's rich and powerful, but he has his own issues to deal with from his money-hungry family.
Overall, if you like stories with elements of Hades & Persephone, Beauty & the Beast, and/or Cinderella, you can't go wrong with Hades' Game. This is the first book I've read from R.G. Angel. Overall, I enjoyed it. So while it won't be my favorite book of 2023, I thoroughly enjoyed the story, and would recommend for people who love the tropes in this book.
