A Touch of Darkness by Scarlett St. Clair

I LOVVVEEEED THIS!!! Hear me out: the beginning is a bit annoying and I was not happy and it took me a minute to get into it and it was slow. BUT - as soon as you hit 20% or so, it gets addictive. I was just super busy, so getting to 20% took me a while. So really, the only reason this is not a 5/5, is the beginning and maybe the end which felt very rushed. Regardless, this was so fun and I loved it. I fell in love with Hades the second he popped up, and I really liked persephone too. The story was really nicely written, and had a nice mixture of actual plot, simple greek mythology details, and spice. The story is a persephone and hades retelling, and it was so cute. My favorite parts were the bathing scene and the baking scene. SOO GOOD. Anyway. I recommend this, especially if you love greek mythology like me, because it made the story so interesting and added layers and depth to the plot. Great read :)))
