This is a steamy dark romance, Hades and Persephone retelling novella which is perfect for lovers of Greek mythology retellings.  I don't even like Hades and Persephone retellings, but I gave it a try because I've enjoyed all of the other books by this author.  I was delighted to have enjoyed this book so much. The story is told in dual pov and follows the MCs, Ivy and Carlisle. They are fated mates but unfortunately Ivy does not remember. This was short, quick, and steamy read.  My only issue with this is that, it was too short and really good, which left me wanting more. Big sighhhhhhh. I also listened to the audiobook which was dual narrated by Angelina Rocca and Scott Rose. The narration was entertaining and well done. The storyline pacing flowed smoothly and I would also recommend the audio. 

Themes & Tropes:
